Increased levels of oxidative stress (OS) in the brain have been linked to the etiology of several neurodegenerative diseases, e.g., Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease (Navarro and Boveris, 2009; Melo et al., 2011; Radak et al., 2011; Sultana et al., 2013). A possible cause of increased OS levels is an imbalance in the omega-6 (n-6) and omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (Kiecol...

let $g=(v,e)$ be a simple graph. a set $dsubseteq v$ is adominating set of $g$ if every vertex in $vsetminus d$ has atleast one neighbor in $d$. the distance $d_g(u,v)$ between twovertices $u$ and $v$ is the length of a shortest $(u,v)$-path in$g$. an $(u,v)$-path of length $d_g(u,v)$ is called an$(u,v)$-geodesic. a set $xsubseteq v$ is convex in $g$ ifvertices from all $(a, b)$-geodesics belon...

we consider a dynamic domination problem for graphs in which an infinitesequence of attacks occur at vertices with guards and the guard at theattacked vertex is required to vacate the vertex by moving to a neighboringvertex with no guard. other guards are allowed to move at the same time, andbefore and after each attack and the resulting guard movements, the verticescontaining guards form a dom...

in this paper, unsteady two phase simulation of nanofluid flow and heat transfer between moving parallel plates, in presence of the magnetic field is studied. the significant effects of thermophoresis and brownian motion have been contained in the model of nanofluid flow. the three governing equations are solved simultaneously via galerkin method. comparison with other works indicates that this...

it is shown that when a special vertex stretching is applied to a graph, the cochordal cover number of the graph increases exactly by one, as it happens to its induced matching number and (castelnuovo-mumford) regularity. as a consequence, it is shown that the induced matching number and cochordal cover number of a special vertex stretching of a graph g are equal provided g is well-covered bipa...

this paper modeled heating air of a room through examining free convection in a 3d chamber. the chamber had cold and hot sources with tc and th temperatures, respectively. its other walls were adiabatic. this study aimed at predicting effect of temperature difference, displacement of hot and cold sources and their aspect ratio on flow field, temperature and heat transfer rate. to conduct the st...

Annular pancreas, the second most common anomaly of the pancreas, is the development of a ring of pancreatic tissue that surrounds and often embraces the duodenum. It was first described by Tiedelmann in 1818 and named “annular pancreas” by Ecker in 1862 [1]. It is usually present in childhood, with symptoms due to duodenal obstruction. In 50% of cases, clinical manifestations become visible af...
