Purpose. To investigate the preventive effect of resveratrol (RES) on the formation of portal vein system thrombosis (PVST) in a rat fibrosis model. Methods. A total of 64 male SD rats, weighing 200-300 g, were divided into five groups: Sham operation, Splenectomy I, Splenectomy II, RES, and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), with the former two groups as nonfibrosis controls. Blood samples w...

Development projects often involve assembly land from a variety of different owners to form a large continguous plot. Such aggregation makes it possible to operate the project on a large scale, which can confer efficiency benefits. However, the aggregation process can simultaneously raise issues. On the one hand, small landowners may try hold-out strategies, with the aim of extracting the full ...

Objective(s):Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder. One of the hallmarks of AD is an abnormal accumulation of fibril forms of tau protein which is known as a microtubule associated protein. In this regard, inhibition of tau aggregation has been documented to be a potent therapeutic approach in AD and tauopathies. Unfortunately, the available syntheti...

In this paper, a new concept called Trident Fuzzy Aggregation Operators in which the operation is made by grouping of numerous Trapezoidal Numbers (TTriFN) to become solitary trapezoidal trident fuzzy numeral for parallel computing application introduced. This proposed operator architecture applicable development networking and ranking concepts. Also, geometric mean over ‘n’ TTriFN on left-side...

Aggregation is generally a time consuming process that is only marginally suited for interactive result exploration. This work presents a framework of techniques to support an extended aggregation that works online and is controllable by user feedback. Supportive visualisation methods are presented as well as an overview of applicable interaction techniques and a generic architecture combining ...

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...

The flexibility provided by prosumers is recognized as a key element for the management of electrical grids, in particular distribution changing scenario electricity generation and consumption. useful to Distribution System Operators (DSOs) strongly local, it necessary identify busses grid where can be usefully service requested DSO. For this purpose, concept perimeter adopted; defined set such...

Aggregation is an important building block of modern distributed applications, allowing the determination of meaningful properties (e.g. network size, total storage capacity, average load, majorities, etc.) that are used to direct the execution of the system. In the recent years, several approaches have been proposed to compute aggregation functions on distributed settings, exhibiting different...

In terms of our operation-oriented language introduced in [1] the non-professional user can formulate queries which find transitive relationships among objects. In our approach the user can make these kinds of queries without mastering recursive definition techniques. In this paper we consider how our operation-oriented language can be implemented on the basis of the rule-oriented approach. The...

Up to 40% of the world’s population suffer from allergies. A primary mediator for allergies is the aggregation of antigens and IgE antibodies bound to cell-surface receptors FcǫRI. Antibody/antigen aggregate formation causes stimulation of mast cells and basophils, initiating cell degranulation and resulting in the release of immune mediators which produce an allergic or anaphylactic response. ...
