In this study, the effects of heat-treatment temperature and hot-end coating (HEC) by spray on mechanical properties reliability lightweight glass bottles were investigated. When chemical strengthening occurred at Tg, hardness impact strength increased 163% 198%, respectively. All specimens exhibited improved with strengthening, regardless HEC. The effect was relatively large in absence However...

In an attempt to understand the antiproliferative effects of progestins in endometrial cancer, we have examined the effects of the potent progestin, medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), on the cell proliferation and the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF) alpha and beta genes in human endometrial adenocarcinoma cell lines. The two cell lines used were Ishikawa, var 1, and HEC-50. In ad...

BACKGROUND Implantation in humans involves cross talk between an active blastocyst and receptive endometrium. The role of the endometrial receptors in this complex embryo-maternal interaction is still unclear. We tested gene and protein expression of endometrial receptors (Progesterone receptor (PR) and c-Met) and the effect of theses receptors in endometrial receptivity. METHODS Two endometr...

Vascular endothelial surface-related activities may depend on the lateral mobility of specific cell surface macromolecules. Previous studies have shown that cytokines induce changes in the morphology and surface antigen composition of vascular endothelial cells in vitro and at sites of immune and inflammatory reactions in vivo. The effects of cytokines on membrane dynamic properties have not be...

Rapid and reliable flood information is crucial for minimizing post-event catastrophes in the complex river basins of world. The Chenab River basin one world, facing adverse hydrometeorological conditions with unpredictable hydrologic response. Resultantly, many vicinities along undergo destructive inundation, resulting huge life economic losses. In this study, Hydrologic Engineering Centre–Hyd...
