Objective(s) Fatty acid is amide hydrolase which reduce endogenous anandamide. Transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) channels have been reported to have a role in the modulation of anxiety-like behaviors in rodents. In the present study, the effects of either endocannabinoid system or TRPV1 channels and their possible interaction on anxiety-like behaviors of the rats were explored. ...

UNLABELLED Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare, autoimmune disease characterized by cutaneous and visceral fibrosis. Interleukin- 6 (IL-6) is involved in the pathogenesis of many immune-mediated diseases. IL-6 plays an important role in the initiation and promotion of fibrosis. The polymorphism in the position -174 (G/C) of the promoter region of the IL-6 gene (IL-6pr) may alter the expression o...

The Zoltan dynamic load balancing library provides applications with a reusable object oriented interface to several load balancing techniques, including coordinate bisection, octree/space filling curve methods, and multilevel graph partitioners. We describe enhancements to Zoltan’s octree load balancing procedure and its distributed structures that improve performance of the space filling curv...
