The present study investigates the relative ability of α-, γ-, and δ-tocopherol (Toc) to modulate cell signaling events that are associated with inflammatory responses in fetal-derived intestinal (FHs 74 Int) cells. Secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-8 in FHs 74 Int cells was stimulated in the following order: α-Toc<γ-Toc<δ-Toc. A similar proinflammatory response was observed when inf...

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is the most popular interior gateway routing protocol on the Internet. Most of the known OSPF attacks are based on falsifying the link state advertisement (LSA) of an attacker-controlled router. These attacks may create serious damage if the attacker-controlled router is strategically located. However, these attacks can only falsify a small portion of the routing...

In this issue of JCHIMP, Meade et al., publish the results of qualitative analysis regarding a second-year rotation in tracing the outcome of discharged patients. They report that their residents develop remarkable insights into the types of failures and miscommunications that plague our discharge processes. This perspective piece places this article in the context of literature seeking to unde...

The economical analysis complements the evaluation of the intercrop systems efficiency, considering besides the physical production of crops, the price of products according to their quality classification and time of the year. Intercropping systems of lettuce and cucumber in two plant populations under greenhouse were economically evaluated in winter-spring, in Jaboticabal City, São Paulo Stat...

Surveys found that large contractors replace approximately 10% of their equipment fleet units annually in North America. Cost minimization model is a commonly accepted method for equipment replacement which helps to identify these equipment units whose total owning and operating cost reaches their minimum point as candidates for replacement. While the model is conceptually clear with the aim of...

[1] Significantly older C ages by 2500–7900 years are found for sedimentary total organic carbon (TOC) when compared to ages of codeposited surface-dwelling foraminifera in the southern Okinawa Trough. This age discrepancy increases with rising sea level since the Last Glacial Maximum. A progressive shift in TOC dC toward more negative values with rising sea level reflects an increasing fractio...

Worldwide interest in shale plays has rapidly increased in recently years, thanks to the combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Shale formations act as both the source and the reservoir for the natural gas and usually exhibit anisotropic properties at larger scale. Geological and petropysical studies found that the right combination of thickness, TOC (total organic carbon)...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the amounts of nitrate, nitrite, and total organic carbon (TOC) in two drinking water sources and their relationship with some gastrointestinal diseases. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2012 in Iran. Two wells located in residential areas were selected for sampling and measuring the TOC, nitrate (NO3(-)), and nitrite (NO2(-)). This water i...
