Seborrheic keratosis Benign neoplasms Growth factors Jeffrey J. Meffert, MD, 19626 Encino Knoll, San Antonio, TX 78259 (USA) Seborrheic keratoses (SKs) are among the most common benign cutaneous neoplasms. Despite this, knowledge of the pathophysiol-ogy underlying SKs is incomplete. Much of what is known about the growth and biology of SKs is obtained indirectly while investigating ‘more import...

Background: Low levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium are necessary for sperm function. NADPH oxidase 5 (NOX5) is a membrane enzyme which produces ROS. This enzyme is dependent on calcium for its activity. We investigated the importance of NOX5 and an important calcium channel (CatSper) on sperm function.Methods: This laboratory in-vitro study was done in Shiraz, Iran, 2016. Norma...

The present study aims to develop new energetic composites containing nanostructured nitrocellulose (NNC) or nitrated cellulose (NC), hydrazinium nitro triazolone (HNTO), and MgAl-CuO nanothermite. prepared formulations (NC/HNTO/MgAl-CuO NNC/HNTO/MgAl-CuO) were analyzed using various analytical techniques, such as Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermograv...

Abstract: The microwave humidity and temperature sounder (MWHTS) on the Fengyun (FY)-3C satellite measures the outgoing radiance from the Earth’s surface and atmospheric constituents. MWHTS, which makes measurements in the isolated oxygen absorption line near 118 GHz and the vicinity of the strong water vapor absorption line around 183 GHz, can provide fine vertical distribution structures of b...

BACKGROUND Nutrition North Canada (NNC) is a retail subsidy program implemented in 2012 and designed to reduce the cost of nutritious food for residents living in Canada's remote, northern communities. The present study evaluates the extent to which NNC provides access to perishable, nutritious food for residents of remote northern communities. DESIGN Program documents, including fiscal and f...

Sasaran studi berjumlah 64 orang terdiri dari staf dinas pendidikan menangani SKS, kepala sekolah atau wakil bidang kurikulum, guru mata pelajaran pakar ...

We present a novel method for reconstructing weak lensing mass or convergence maps as probe to study non-Gaussianities in the cosmic density field. While previous surveys have relied on flat-sky approximation, forthcoming Stage IV will cover such large areas with field of view (FOV) motivate reconstruction sphere. Here, we an improved Kaiser-Squires (KS+) inversion using HEALPix pixelisation sp...

This study shows a neural network based control strategy of the current injected into a single-phase grid via an inverter. The inverter is supplied by a Photovoltaic Generator (PVG). The optimal control of PVG is ensured by an MPPT algorithm of type P and O (Perturbation-Observation). The synchronization of the inverter with the electrical grid is ensured by a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) device. Th...
