there has been considerable inconsistency regarding the potential relationship between dyslipidemia and bone metabolism. the inflammatory stimulation through the receptor activator of the nuclear factor kappa-b ligand (rankl)/ receptor activator of the nuclear factor kappa-b (rank)/ osteoprotegerin (opg) pathway could be the infrastructural mechanism for hypercholesterolemia-induced bone loss. ...

restrictions on the use of synthetic antioxidant such as butylated  hydroxyanisole  (bha) and butylated  hydroxytoluene (bht) are being imposed  because of  their carcinogecity. in this investigation  optimization  of phenolic extraction  process  frome  methanolic (80%)  extract (v/v) of  elaegnus  angustifolia  through  response  surface methodology  by fulin cio- calteu is  performrd  for op...

background when a primary radiation interacts with a medium, the secondary radiations are produced, that the contribution of these secondary radiation should considered in the calculation of dose. build-up factor is a dosimetric correction factor to assume effect of secondary radiation in calculation of dose. calculation of this factor is very difficult and time consuming. due to significance o...

in this paper, the rolling force and reduction ratio have been investigated in multilayer strip rolling. for this purpose, two different set of multilayers have been selected which are al/st/al and cu/al/cu layouts. at first, the validation of the numerical analysis was performed by using an experimental test. after validation of the numerical results, two set of multilayer layouts were simulat...

A comprehensive investigation was carried out to minimize the cost price of the rock fragmentation process including: drilling, blasting, secondary blasting and separating the large boulders (oversize rocks) while loading, until the optimized fragmentation, powder factor and ratio of burden (B) to blasthole diameter (?h) were achieved by doing several stages of drilling and blasting practically...

In this paper, I analyse the association between workplace sex ratios and partnership formation and dissolution. I …nd that the risk of dissolution increases with the fraction of coworkers of the opposite sex at both the female and male workplace. On the other hand, workplace sex ratios are not important for the overall transition rate from singlehood to partnership. The results suggest that th...

Hatchling sex ratios in the loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta were estimated by placing electronic temperature recorders in seven nests at Kuriat islands (Tunisia) during the 2013 nesting season. Based on the mean temperatures during the middle third of the incubation period, and on incubation duration, the sex ratio of hatchlings at Kuriat islands was highly male-biased. Presently, the majorit...

Research links sex ratios with the likelihood of marriage and divorce. However, whether sex ratios similarly influence precursors to marriage-transitions in and out of dating or cohabiting relationships-is unknown. Utilizing data from the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS) and the 2000 census, this study assesses whether sex ratios influence the formation and stability of emerging adu...
