Apparent shear stress acting on a vertical interface between the main channel and floodplain in a compound channel serves to quantify the momentum transfer between sub sections of this cross section. In this study, three soft computing methods are used to simulate apparent shear stress in prismatic compound channels. The Genetic Algorithm Artificial neural network (GAA), Genetic Programming (GP...

The present investigation was conducted to identify the genetic variability in morphological characteristics among 12 cashew nut germplasm of Bangladesh. parameters such as length, width, single weight, and 100-nut weight varied significantly (p ≤ 0.01) studied. shape color nuts apples were also variable. RAPD analysis showed 71.43% polymorphism on average. cluster results revealed two distinct...

Objective(s):Transporters have an important role in pharmacokinetics of drugs. Inhibition or induction of drug transporters activity can affect drug absorption, safety, and efficacy. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is the most important membrane transporter that is responsible for active efflux of drugs. It is important to understand which drugs are substrates, inhibitors, or inducers of P-gp to minimize...

Background and Aim: Different methods have been proposed for rapid disinfection of gutta-percha (GP) cones. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of low-pressure radiofrequency cold plasma (LRFCP) in disinfection of GP cones compared to three chemical disinfectants. Materials and Methods: Seventy GP cones were allocated to seven groups of 10 each. All samples were initially sterilized with e...

The study was conducted to know the rate of maternally derived antibodies (MDAs) transfer from parents to their offspring and declining the MDAs in their chicks at 0, 7, 14, and 21 days of age against four major poultry viruses like Newcastle disease virus (NDV), Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), Infectious bursal diseases virus (IBDV), and Avian Reo virus (ARV). The MDAs was studied on Grandp...
