Carcinogenic effects of ionizing radiation and benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (B[a]PDE), a major metabolite of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), have been well demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. Two-stage carcinogenesis results indicate that mouse skin is highly susceptible to both ionizing radiation and benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10epoxide (B[a]PDE), a major metabolite of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P...

‎In this text we prove that in generalized shift dynamical system $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$‎ ‎for finite discrete $X$ with at least two elements‎, ‎infinite countable set $Gamma$ and‎ ‎arbitrary map $varphi:GammatoGamma$‎, ‎the following statements are equivalent‎: ‎ - the dynamical system $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ is‎ Li-Yorke chaotic;‎ - the dynamical system $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ has‎ an scr...

Rapid heat cycle molding (RHCM) is a special molding process capable of producing molded plastic parts with high surface quality and improved weldline strength and appearance. This study investigated the influence of the weldline on the tensile strength of RHCM and conventional injection molded (CIM) components. The test specimens with and without a weldline were cut from RHCM and CIM parts for...

Lithium (Li), a glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) inhibitor, has used to attenuate thecannabinoid-induced dependence/withdrawal signs, but molecular mechanisms related to this areunclear. Recent studies indicate the involvement of upstream extracellular signal kinase1/2 (ERK1/2)and downstream GSK-3β pathways in the development of cannabinoid-induced dependence. Thisis mediated through cannab...

This paper describes a new admissible tree search algorithm called Iterative Threshold Search (ITS). ITS can be viewed as a much-simplified version of MA* [l], and a generalized version of MREC [12]. We also present the following results: 1. Every node generated by ITS is also generated by IDA*, even if ITS is given no more memory than IDA*. In addition, there are trees on which ITS generates O...

The study focuses on the benefit of foreign direct investment (FDI) at the firm level. Looking into the way businesses acquire institutional knowledge, the study examines whether IJVs have built local technological capability through acquiring and then using the international resources and knowledge of the foreign joint venture partners, and if so, the level of the technological capability that...
