background since genetic and most environmental factors shape the context of families, some studies have been initiated to investigate the role of familial relationships in metabolic syndrome (mets). objectives to estimate the familial aggregation of mets and its components by identifying both case and control probands among tehranian adults with different socio-behavioral and reproductive char...

in the present work, the interaction of three water soluble porphyrins, tetra (p-trimethyle) ammoniumphenyl porphyrin iodide (tapp) as a cationic porphyrin, tetra sodium meso-tetrakis (p-sulphonatophenyle) porphyrin (tspp) as an anionic porphyrin and manganese tetrakis (p-sulphonato phenyl)porphinato acetate (mntspp) as a metal porphyrin, with dna have been studied by isothermaltitration microc...

Protein aggregation leading to formation of amyloid fibrils is a symptom of several diseases like Alzheimer's, type 2 diabetes and so on. Elucidating the poorly understood mechanism of such phenomena entails the difficult task of characterizing the species involved at each of the multiple steps in the aggregation pathway. It was previously shown by us that spontaneous aggregation of hen-eggwhit...

We revisit the scaling theory of the Smoluchowski equation with special emphasis on the dimensional analysis to derive the scaling ansatz and to give an insightful foundation to it. It has long been argued that the homogeneity exponent λ of the aggregation kernel divides the aggregation process into two regimes (i) λ ≤ 1 nongelling and (ii) λ > 1 gelling. However, our findings contradict with t...

In this paper, we propose a decentralized semantic reasoning approach for modeling vague spatial objects from sensor network data describing shape phenomena, such as forest fire, air pollution, traffic noise, etc. This is challenging problem it necessitates appropriate aggregation of and their update with respect to the evolution state phenomena be represented. Sensor are generally poorly provi...

Neurodegenerative disease can originate from the misfolding and aggregation of proteins, such as Amyloid-beta, SOD1, or Huntingtin. Fortunately, all cells possess protein quality control machinery that sequesters misfolded proteins, either refolding or degrading them, before they can self-associate into proteotoxic oligomers and aggregates. This activity is largely performed by the stress respo...

Spatio-temporal data sets arise when time-varying physical fields are discretized for simulation or analysis. Examples of time-varying fields are isothermal regions in the sea or pattern formations in natural systems, such as convection rolls or diffusion-reaction systems. The analysis of these data sets is essential for generating qualitative interpretations for human understanding. This paper...

Super- and sub-additive transformations of aggregation functions have been recently introduced by Greco, Mesiar, Rindone and v{S}ipeky [The superadditive and the subadditive transformations of integrals and aggregation functions, {it Fuzzy Sets and Systems} {bf 291} (2016), 40--53]. In this article we give a survey of the recent development regarding the existence of aggregation functions with ...

A series of novel 2-aminopyrimidine and 2-Substituted-4,6-diaminopyrimidine derivatives have been synthesized and their anti platelet aggregation activities were assessed against ADP and arachidonic acid- induced platelet aggregation in human plasma using light transmission aggregometry. None of the compounds showed satisfactory activity against the aggregation induced by ADP. However, satisfac...

Nitric oxide and other reactive oxygen species generated by nitric-oxide synthases (NOS) modulate, among several other cellular responses, the production of eicosanoids and platelet aggregation. The roles of specific NOS in these two phenomena remain to be determined. Thus, the present study assessed whether inducible NOS (iNOS) and endothelial NOS (eNOS) modulate in a similar manner the produc...
