background: resistance to antimicrobial agents including aminoglycosides (ags) is a great concern that is mainly related to inappropriate use. since there were not adequate data regarding how rationally ags are being prescribed in our critically ill patients, this study was conducted to determine the main issues in the area of appropriate use of this antibiotic class.   methods: one hundred pat...

Communal roosting by urban birds, such as crows, mynas, and starlings, can be a public nuisance due to excessive noise fouling of the surroundings with droppings. Food availability within proximity area is one key factors influencing site preference fidelity. The diets mynas crows have been well-studied, yet little known about diet Asian glossy starling (AGS), Aplonis panayensis. This study foc...

The recovery of biopolymers from sewage sludge could be a crucial step in implementing circular economy principles wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). In this frame, the present study was aimed at evaluating simultaneous production polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) obtainable agro-industrial wastewater. Two biological enrichment systems, aerobic granular (...

Abnormal expression of the kallikrein (KLK) family of serine proteases closely correlates with onset, progression, and prognosis of endocrine gland-related malignant tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate how downregulation of KLK12 influenced cell cycle and proliferation of the AGS gastric cancer cell line. KLK12 was detected by western blot in GES-1 normal gastric epithelial and AGS ce...

BACKGROUND AND AIM The human CD24 antigen is a small heavily glycosylated cell surface protein, which is expressed in a large variety of solid tumors,including gastric cancer. Enriched on the surface of many tumor cells,CD24 promotes tumor growth,invasion and metastasis and confers resistance to some chemotherapeutic drugs.In this study, we investigated the possible effect of CD24 suppression o...

CONTEXT Elite gymnasts are subjected to intense training, which may alter pubertal development. OBJECTIVE The objective of the investigation was to study the impact of gymnastics on pubertal development in rhythmic (RGs) and artistic gymnasts (AGs). DESIGN Evaluation of somatometric parameters, pubertal stage, and intensity of training in the competition field were studied. SETTING The st...

In this paper, we propose a new probability model, ‘asymmetric Gaussian(AG),’ which can capture spatially asymmetric distributions. It is also extended to mixture of AGs. The values of its parameters can be determined by Expectation-Conditional Maximization algorithm. We apply the AGs to a pattern classification problem and show that the AGs outperform Gaussian models.
