introduction: nowadays,  considerable developments  in  the field  of  radiotherapy have  been  achieved.  they  include  the  advances  made  in  the  equipments  and  treatment  planning  techniques  which  require  highly complex calculations. such achievements have made it possible to treat cancer patients not only  with  higher  radiation  dose  but  also  with  higher  precision  and  con...

acetone fractionated peroxidase from crude extract of brassica oleracea leaves (cabbage) was purified in three steps on chromatographic columns, using sp-sepharose, deae-sepharose and con a-sepharose. the specific activity of purified main isoenzyme (boc-pod) is 1887 u/mg protein with rz: 3.1, which is 172 times more than the rz of crude extract with 4.3% recovery. the molecular weight of boc-p...

In this paper, we introduce a method, Assortative Preferential Attachment, to grow a scale-free network with a given assortativeness value. Utilizing this method, we investigate information-cloning — recovery of scale-free networks in terms of their information transfer — and identify a number of recovery features: a full-recovery threshold, a phase transition for both assortative and disassort...

BACKGROUND The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is commonly used to quantify exercise capacity in patients with several cardio-pulmonary diseases. Oxygen uptake ([Formula: see text]O2) kinetics during 6MWT typically follow 3 distinct phases (rest, exercise, recovery) that can be modeled by nonlinear regression. Simultaneous modeling of multiple kinetics requires nonlinear mixed models methodology. T...

Laparoscopic-assisted rectal resection (LAR) has been widely used to treat rectal cancer. However, it has a steep learning curve. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of the learning curve on the outcomes of LAR. All consecutive patients with rectal cancer undergoing LAR or open resection (OR) between 2010 and 2015 were included in this retrospective analysis. The learning curve w...

The recovery and removal of the most organic acids in liquid solutions is usually treated with fixed-bed adsorption processes. Among many adsorbents, Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is used to remove organic pollutants such as Benzoic Acid (BA) from wastewaters conventionally. In this research, adsorption isotherm curves of BA onto GAC at varying temperatures 25-60 °C are developed and the ...

The effect of food on the absorption of amoxicillin and ampicillin was studied in 16 normal subjects in a double-blind crossover study after each subject was given a single oral 500-mg dose. Serum drug levels were analyzed, assuming a one-compartment linear model with first-order absorption and absorption delay, area under the curve, and urinary recovery. Variations in kinetic parameters were e...
