ABSTRACT Compression in giant molecular cloud (GMC) collisions is a promising mechanism to trigger the formation of massive star clusters and OB associations. We simulate colliding non-colliding magnetized GMCs examine properties pre-stellar cores, selected from projected mass surface density maps, including after synthetic ALMA observations. then core properties, mass, size, density, velocity,...

BACKGROUND The late cardiotoxic effects of anthracycline chemotherapy influence morbidity and mortality in the growing population of childhood cancer survivors. Even with lower anthracycline doses, evidence of adverse cardiac remodeling and reduced exercise capacity exist. We aim to examine the relationship between cardiac structure, function and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) tissue c...

Abstract The rheological properties of cement pastes prepared using kenaf-plant cellulose microfibers (CMFs), which was incorporated for the purpose internal curing, were investigated. main test variables are length and mass fraction CMFs. CMFs lengths 400 ?m 5 mm included in mixtures at 0.3, 0.6, 1, 2 wt.% cement. Dry CMF particles wetted with water to fiber saturation point vacuum filtration ...

Present study summarizes the control of Vibrio alginolyticus infection in hatchery reared Clownfish, Amphiprion sebae with the extract of the mangrove plant, Avicennia marina. Fishes with visible symptoms of hemorrhagic spots were chosen and the genomic DNA of the causative bacterium was isolated and sequenced based on 16S rDNA gene. The in vitro assay revealed that a fraction of A. marina leaf...

The temperature-dependent behavior emerging in the vicinity of superfluid (SF) to Mott-insulator (MI) transition interacting bosons a 2D optical lattice, described by Bose–Hubbard model is investigated. equilibrium phase diagram at finite-temperature computed using cluster mean-field (CMF) theory including finite-cluster-size-scaling. SF, MI, and normal fluid (NF) phases are characterized as we...

In submerged monolayer culture, Dictyostelium cells can differentiate into prespore and prestalk cells at high cell densities in response to cAMP but not at low cell densities. However, cells at low densities will differentiate in medium taken from developing cells starved at a high density. The putative factor in the medium was designated CMF for conditioned medium factor (Mehdy and Firtel, Mo...

BACKGROUND Recent retrospective analyses have suggested that breast cancer patients whose tumors overexpress HER2 derive preferential benefit from treatment with anthracyclines such as doxorubicin. This has led some clinicians to propose that HER2 should be used as a predictive marker in choosing between anthracycline-based regimens and combination chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, methotrexa...

our  previous  studies demonstrated  the  preventive effect  of  nigella  sativa  extract  on asthma and water-soluble substances of this extract, especially its methanol fraction were responsible for this relaxation on contracted tracheal chains of guinea pigs. for the first time, the present study has been conducted to determine the main constituents of its methanolic extract. four constituen...

OBJECTIVE To compare the growth and nutritional status of infants fed goat milk-based formula (GMF) and cow milk-based formula (CMF). METHODS The study was conducted in Beijing, China. It was a double-blind randomized controlled trial. A total of 79 infants aged 0-3 months old were recruited and randomized in GMF or CMF group. The infants were fed the allocated formula to 6 months. The weight...

Inspired by the composition of adhesive and reductive proteins secreted by marine mussels, polydopamine (PDA) was used to coat cotton microfiber (CMF), and then acted as reducing agent for the growth of Pd nanoparticles on PDA coated CMF (PDA@CMF) composites. The resultant CMF@PDA/Pd composites were then packed in a column for the further use in fixed-bed system. For the catalysis of the reduct...
