he citation in Figure 1 is not from a recent visitor in Rome, but from the Roman author Martial some 2000 years ago. Anybody who has seen Roman roads that still exist or the streets of old Pompeii can easily imagine the noise created by the wagons rolling down these uneven streets. This sound is the ancient form of tire/road noise. Today’s tire/road noise is a matter of concern. In fact, it is ...

the aim of this paper was to study of the effect of fenugreek seed (trigonella foenum-graecum) and asparagus root (asparagus officinalis) on in vitro digestibility and kinetics of gas production of alfalfa hay. fenugreek seed (fs) and asparagus root (ar) were added at different levels (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% of dm). total phenolic components of alfalfa hay (ah), fenugreek seed (fs) and asparagus ...

Th e purpose of this paper was to develop a typology for winter sports tourists deriving from the behavioural characteristics of British skiers and snowboarders. Th e paper also aimed to ascertain whether diff erences in the characteristics and behaviour of skiers and snowboarders were identifi able, and consequently whether the market could be meaningfully segmented based upon the sport partic...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Developmental switches in NMDA receptor subunit expression have been inferred from studies of GluN2 expression levels, changes in kinetics of glutamatergic synaptic currents and sensitivity of NMDA receptor-mediated currents to selective GluN2B antagonists. Here we use TCN 213, a novel GluN2A-selective antagonist to identify the presence of this subunit in functional NMDA...

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic periodontitis (CP) show common pathophysiological features. We investigated the serum levels of IL-23 and IL-35 in people with type 2 DM and CP. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 72 patients were divided into four equal groups: group A, participants without type 2 DM and CP; group B, patients with type 2 DM without CP; group C, patients ...
