The present study is a trial to suppress or attenuate the cardiotoxicity of catecholamines, which have been developed synthetically for the treatment of several cardiovascular disorders and conditions such as asthma and nasal congestion. Epinephrine (Adrenaline) is the most commonly available inotrope and in many cases the most appropriate drug to maintain blood pressure. However, tachycardia, ...

There is no other naturally occurring defense agent against cancer that has a stronger effectthan paclitaxel, commonly known under the brand name of Taxol®. The major drawback for themore widespread use of paclitaxel and its precious precursor, 10-deacetylbaccatin III (10-DABIII), is that they require large-scale extraction from different parts of yew trees (Taxus species),cell cultures, taxane...

In this study the rheology of blood clot is measured with the help of rotational rheometer. Several shear strain (0.5, 1 and 2%) are applied with two frequencies (5 and 10 Hz) from the incipient time of clot formation and the response of the sample is measured with the form of shear stress and the phase lag which is interpreted with storage and loss moduli. In this study the ratio of loss to st...

An experimental study was conducted to determine the effects of the leaching parameters on impurity ion concentrations of the liquid phase in ulexite leaching. Powdered ulexite ore was leached in an aqueous medium with sulfur dioxide. The Taguchi experimental design approach and statistical methods were used to evaluate the effects of the leaching parameters (solid/liquid ratio, temperature...

nowadays the researches have indicated the fact that using synthetic antioxidants as food additives in edible oils can have adverse effects on human health. so preparing antioxidation resources for reduction of oxidation stress effects is important. the aim of this project was, representing a natural antioxidant source with frap test. the present study optimized the ultrasound assisted extracti...

in this study, response surface methodology (rsm) was used to optimize osmo-dehydration of orange slice. effect of osmotic solution temperature in the range of 30 to 60 °c, immersion time from 0 to 300 min and sucrose concentration from 35 to 65 brix degree on water loss, solid gain, moisture content, water loss to solid gain ratio and brix change were investigated by central composite design (...

PURPOSE We present and evaluate a fully automated 2D-3D intensity-based registration framework using a single limited field-of-view (FOV) 2D kV radiograph and a 3D kV CBCT for 3D estimation of patient setup errors during brain radiotherapy. METHODS We evaluated two similarity measures, the Pearson correlation coefficient on image intensity values (ICC) and maximum likelihood measure with Gaus...

A fundamental understanding of the behavior gold (Au) nanostructures deposited on functional surfaces is imperative to discover and leverage interface-related phenomena that can boost efficiency existing electronic devices in sensorics, catalysis, spintronics. In present work, Au layers with nominal thickness 2 nm were sputter-deposited graphenized SiC substrates represented by buffer layer (Bu...
