When tobacco is smoked, chewed or snuffed, nicotine is absorbed by the lungs or mucous membrane and quickly moved into the bloodstream, where it is circulated throughout the brain. In fact nicotine is highly dangerous to be consumed in any form. The present study was conducted to know the adverse effects of nicotine on the platelet aggregation in cerebral microvessels of mice. Male mice of aver...

A Fermatean fuzzy set is a more powerful tool to deal with uncertainties in the given information as compared intuitionistic and Pythagorean has energetic applications decision-making. Aggregation operators are very helpful for assessing alternatives decision-making process, their purpose integrate all individual evaluation values into unified form. In this research article, some new aggregatio...

Aluminium phthalocyanines sulfonated to a different degree (AlPcSn) and consisting of various isomeric species were studied by spectroscopic techniques to determine their tendencies to form dimers and aggregates. These characteristics were compared with the cell-penetrating properties of the species, using the Ehrlich ascites mouse tumor cell line, to arrive at structure–activity relationships....

BACKGROUND Components of the metabolic syndrome are associated with low-grade inflammation. This can be accompanied by the synthesis of sticky proteins and erythrocyte aggregation. METHODS The degree of erythrocyte aggregation was evaluated by a simple slide test and image analysis along with other markers of the acute-phase response, including the white blood cell count (WBCC), erythrocyte s...

BACKGROUND Many theories regarding the pathophysiology leading to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) have been proposed and tested. Increased erythrocyte aggregation is associated with capillary slow flow and tissue hypoxaemia. We performed this study in order to assess the degree of erythrocyte aggregation in the peripheral blood of individuals with OHSS and undergoing controlled ovarian...

In this paper, we introduce a flexible consensus reaching process when agents evaluate the alternatives through linguistic expressions formed by a linguistic term, when they are confident on their opinions, or by several consecutive linguistic terms, when they hesitate. Taking into account an appropriate metric on the set of linguistic expressions and an aggregation function, a degree of consen...

BACKGROUND: Many theories regarding the pathophysiology leading to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) have been proposed and tested. Increased erythrocyte aggregation is associated with capillary slow ̄ow and tissue hypoxaemia. We performed this study in order to assess the degree of erythrocyte aggregation in the peripheral blood of individuals with OHSS and undergoing controlled ovarian ...

Identifying a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear incident (CBRN) is a challenge. Evidence and health symptoms resulting from CBRN malevolent incident overlap with other normal non malevolent human activities. However, proper fusion of symptoms and evidence can aid in drawing conclusions with a certain degree of credibility about the existence of an incident. There are two types of ...

objective: to study the mechanisms involved in amyloid formation processes, we made a mammalian cell culture model of amylin aggregation and characterized its properties. materials and methods: amyloid fibrils were extracted from cho cells and binding affinity to thioflavin t and congo red was investigated. then the apple-green birefringence of extracted fibrils was detected under polarized li...

We develop a new model for fuzzy decision making based on the use of several sources of information in the analysis. We introduce the fuzzy unified aggregation operator (FUAO). It is an aggregation operator that unifies other aggregation operators in the same formulation and considering the degree of importance of each concept in the analysis. Moreover, it also deals with uncertain environments...
