The concept of overcoming multidrug resistance using modulators is based on the hypothesis that there will be a synergistic interaction between the modulator and the cytotoxic agent. We examined the ability of dipyridamole (DPM) to synergistically enhance drug sensitivity in drug-sensitive KB-3-1 cells and their drug-resistant variants, KB-GRC1 and KBV1 cells, using median effect analysis to pr...

In this paper, we propose a novel economic-efficiency framework for an electric vehicle (EV) network to maximize the profits (i.e., amount of money that can be earned) charging stations (CSs). To end, first introduce energy demand prediction method CSs leveraging federated learning approaches, in which each CS train its own transactions locally and exchange learned model with other improve qual...

Abstract To improve the tribological performance of CSS-42L bearing steel, smooth surfaces (SSs), groove-textured (GSs), GSs with Sn-Ag-Cu (GSs-SAC), and Sn-Ag-Cu-Ti 3 C 2 (GSs-SACT) were prepared on CSS-42L. In addition, experimental studies conducted properties. The obtained results indicated that GSs-SACT exhibited best anti-friction noise reduction performances. These remarkable performance...

Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) is decreased by cigarette smoking. The hypothesis that oxides of nitrogen (NOX) in cigarette smoke solution (CSS) may exert a negative feedback mechanism upon NO release from epithelial (AEC, A549, and NHTBE) and basophilic cells (RBL-2H3) was tested in vitro. CSS inhibited both NO production and degranulation (measured as release of beta-hexosaminidase) in a dose-dep...

the main concern of this study was communication strategies (css) which are used to compensate for communication breakdown. the goals of this study were to examine whether proficiency level of iranian students had any relationship with their choice of css. this research was descriptive in nature. the participants were 15 pre-intermediate and 14 intermediate efl learners between 16 to 21years ol...

Chaos is embedded to the he Charged System Search (CSS) to solve practical optimization problems. To improve the ability of global search, different chaotic maps are introduced and three chaotic-CSS methods are developed. A comparison of these variants and the standard CSS demonstrates the superiority and suitability of the selected variants for practical civil optimization problems.

There continues to be a widening gap between processor speeds and memory access time. This gap is seen in systems ranging from embedded computing systems to high-performance supercomputing systems. In this paper, we present an instruction scheduling algorithm that can be targetted towards VLIW architectures commonly found in embedded systems and high-performance workstations i.e. Itanium. The g...

This paper applies particle swarm optimization (PSO) to find the most possible failure surface in stability analysis of homogeneous soil slopes. The stability of slopes is an important issue on geotechnical engineering. This problem includes two general concepts, factor of safety (FOS) and the critical slip surface (CSS). The resultant ratio of dividing strengthens forces by driving forces is c...

The American College of Rheumatology has proposed 6 criteria for CSS classification, with the fulfilment of 4 criteria making a diagnosis of CSS (2). These criteria include asthma, eosinophilia, mononeuropathy ...
