Introduction: Following our previous studies on the neuroprotective effects of progesterone and cytokines such as IL-6 (IL-6) is involved in the inflammatory response, to examine whether changes in IL-6 and Nerve grows factor(NGF) concentrations in CSF can responsible for the neuroprotective effects of progesterone after traumatic brain injury(TBI). Materials and Methods: Female ovariectomized ...

The landslide has happened quite frequently on National Highway 6 (NH6) and causes damage to both property life every year. Whereas, detailed susceptibility maps are rarely available this road. application of the Frequency Ratio (FR) method GIS allows for faster, cheaper, more efficient easily updated area determination. This paper presents a map along NH6 by using FR GIS. input data layers inc...

introduction emerging hypotheses suggest a causal role for prenatal androgen exposure in some cases of autism spectrum disorders (asd). the ratios of the lengths of the bones of the 2nd to the 4th digits (2d:4d) are purported to be markers for prenatal androgen exposure and to be established early in gestation. ratio of second and fourth digits (2d:4d)  is usually used as a proxy for prenatal t...

it is well-known that the behavior of soil-structure systems can be well described using a limited number of non-dimensional parameters. this is the outcome of researches based on the premise that the foundation is bonded to the ground. here, it is shown the concept can be extended to systems with foundation uplift. a set of non-dimensional parameters are introduced which controls the main feat...
