This study aimed to optimize the preparation condition of activated carbon using Teff straw as a precursor material via evaluating its potential in terms maximizing adsorptive removal Reactive Yellow 145 dye (RY 145) from aqueous solutions. Selective factors, such activation time, temperature, and impregnation ratio on Straw-based Activated Carbon (TSAC) were optimized response surface methodol...

For integers l and k with l > 0, and k ≥ 0, Ch(l, k) denotes the collection of h-edgeconnected simple graphs G on n vertices such that for every edge-cut X with 2 ≤ |X | ≤ 3, each component of G − X has at least (n − k)/l vertices. We prove that for any integer k > 0, there exists an integer N = N(k) such that for any n ≥ N , any graph G ∈ C2(6, k) on n vertices is supereulerian if and only if ...

Communication between endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) via miR-143/145 clusters is vital to vascular stability. Previous research demonstrates that miR-143/145 released from ECs can regulate SMC proliferation and migration. In addition, a recent study has found that SMCs also have the capability of manipulating EC function via miR-143/145. In the present study, we artifici...

On a finite simple graph G = (X, E), p players pursuers A,, ‘., A, and one player evader B who move in turn along the edges of G are considered. The p pursuers A,, .‘., A, want to catch B who tries to escape. R. Nowakowski and P. Winkler [Discrete Math. 43 (1983), 235-2401 and A. Quilliot [“These de 3’cycle,” pp. 131-145, Universite de Paris VI, 19781 already characterized the graphs such that ...

In microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis, the guide-strand of miRNA integrates into the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC), whereas the passenger-strand is inactivated through degradation. Analysis of our miRNA expression signature of bladder cancer (BC) by deep-sequencing revealed that microRNA (miR)-145-5p (guide-strand) and miR-145-3p (passenger-strand) were significantly downregulated in BC tissues...

MicroRNAs (miRs) have crucial functions in spermatogenesis and implications for male infertility. In the present study, Homo sapiens (hsa)‑miR‑145 was designed and cloned into the eukaryotic expression plasmid pGenesil‑1. The recombinant plasmids were transfected into Hs 1.tes normal testicular cells and NTERA‑2 testicular cancer cells. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction of hsa‑miR‑145 indi...

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor in children and young adults. miR-145 is a microRNA highly expressed in vascularized tissues and has been widely studied in cancers. In this study, we explored the expression and function of miR-145 in OS. We found that miR-145 was consistently under-expressed in OS tissues and cell lines as compared to normal bone tissues and osteoblast...
