For credibility of simulation results, reproducibility of simulation runs is a must. However, reproducibility requires a thorough management of all data involved in the simulation process. The corresponding management of data can be error-prone and time consuming if performed manually. In this paper we introduce a simulation management approach that ensures reproducibility and traceability of s...

In this study, a priority based protocol with queue management has been developed for wireless networks. The protocol is creating new queue management for reducing dropped TCP packets with priority. A load balancing method for gateways was also developed. The protocol has been tested using an ns-2 (network simulator 2) simulation tool. In the simulation, Drop-Tail, Red Queue and the present pro...

Bortezomib is commonly used in treating multiple myeloma (MM). However, a number of patients develop resistance to bortezomib over time. Cox-2 is overexpressed in MM cells and contributes to apoptosis resistance and MM development. In the present study, RPMI8226 MM cells were treated with the Cox-2 inhibitor NS-398 to investigate whether it enhanced the effect of bortezomib on MM. The results s...

The next generation of simulations are believed to be Simulation-Based Embedded Systems (SBES). The idea behind these is to automate the use of simulations to improve performance in the physical systems that are being modeled. The relationship between the physical system and the simulation becomes a symbiosis, in which the physical system improves its performance by continuously evaluating futu...

Regarding the therapeutic properties of Nigella sativa (NS), the effects of the plant hydro – alcoholic extract on learning, memory and brain tissues oxidative damage were investigated in penthylenetetrazole (PTZ) - induced repeated seizures.There were 4 experimental groups including: 1- control group; received saline, 2- PTZ group ; received saline and PTZ (50 mg/kg, i.p) , 3-PTZ- NS 200 and 4...

We present the results of experiments to produce a 10 ns-long, quasi-monochromatic x-ray source. This effort is needed support time-resolved diffraction (XRDt) measurements phase transitions during laser-driven dynamic compression at National Ignition Facility. To record XRDt as they occur, we use high-speed (∼1 ns) gated hybrid CMOS detectors, which multiple frames data over timescale few tens...

objective: neuroimmune factors contribute on the pathogenesis of sickness behaviors. nigella sativa (ns) has anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety and anti-depressive effects. in the present study, the effect of ns hydro-alcoholic extract on sickness behavior induced by lipopolysaccharide (lps) was investigated. materials and methods: the rats were divided into five groups (n=10 in each): (1) control...
