atherosclerosis has serious role in coronary arteries disease,so it is important to establish effective strategies for prevention or even treatment of atherosclerosis. adiponectin, as one of the most abundant adipokines, has insulin sensitivity, anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties. disturbed adiponectin actions through its receptor, (adipor1 and adipor2) may be involved in atheros...

Thalidomide maintenance has the potential to modulate residual multiple myeloma (MM) after an initial response. This trial compared the effect of thalidomide maintenance and no maintenance on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in MM patients. After intensive or nonintensive induction therapy, 820 newly diagnosed MM patients were randomized to open-label thalidomide mainte...

Cochlear implant (CI) users have been shown to benefit from residual low-frequency hearing, specifically in pitch related tasks. It remains unclear whether this benefit is dependent on fundamental frequency (F0) or other acoustic cues. Three experiments were conducted to determine the role of F0, as well as its frequency modulated (FM) and amplitude modulated (AM) components, in speech recognit...

The sintering and steam corrosion behaviour of Yb2Si2O7 with without the addition Al2O3 has been studied on compacted specimens. While, to enhanced significantly, it also promoted formation a thin (80–100 nm), dense protective Yb3Al5O12 layer at surface when exposed steam. TEM analysis confirmed that is formed in environment via diffusion aluminium from residual present Al2O3/Yb2Si2O7 composite...

in this paper, we will give necessary and sufficient conditions for certain hnnextensions of subgroup separable groups with normal associated subgroup to be conjugacyseparable. in fact, we will show that these hnn extensions are conjugacy separable if and onlyif the normalizer of one of its associated subgroup is conjugacy separable.

we prove that if $m$ is a monoid and $a$ a finite set with more than one element‎, ‎then the residual finiteness of $m$ is equivalent to that of the monoid consisting of all cellular automata over $m$ with alphabet $a$‎.

pediatric traumatic limb amputations are rare and their acute and long term management can be challenging in this subgroup of patients. the lengthy and costly hospital stays, and resulting physical and psychological implications leads to significant morbidity. we present a summary of treatment principles and the evidence base supporting the management options for this entity. the initial manage...

in this research, a novel method to decrease micro-residual stresses of fibrous composites by adding carbon nanotubes (cnts) is proposed in detail. the negative coefficient of thermal expansion and the high young’s modulus of cnts can be utilized to counterbalance the process induced residual stresses in composites. to this end, first, the effects of adding cnts to the matrix of fibrous composi...
