objective(s):acrylamide (acr) has broad applications in different industries. it also forms in food during heating process. oxidative stress has a critical role in acr-induced neurotoxicity in both in vitro and in vivo models; therefore, the aim of the current study was the evaluation of effects of thymoquinone, the main constituent of volatile oil from nigella sativa seeds in acr-induced neuro...

The concept of gazing into crystal balls to view the future is not something immunologists are particularly prone to do; it is better left to psychics, quacks and astrologers. We are more likely to spend our time looking back, scouring the literature for precedents or clues to explain our latest findings. Yet the 50th Anniversary of the British Society for Immunology (BSI) offers an opportunity...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this research are to conceptualize the Bicycle Safety Index (BSI) that considers all parts of the street and to propose a universal guideline with microscale details. METHOD A point system method comparing existing safety facilities to a defined standard is proposed to estimate the BSI. Two streets in Singapore and Malaysia are chosen to examine this model. RESU...

We study the asymptotic properties of the conditional empirical process based on b F n (Cjx) = n X t=1 ! n (X t ? x)I fYt2Cg indexed by C 2 C, where f(X t ; Y t); t = 1; : : :; ng are observations from a strong mixing stochas-tic process, f! n (X t ? x)g denote some kernel weights, and C is a class of sets. Under the assumption on the richness of the index class C in terms of metric entropy wit...

Dear Sir, Cancer patients are at an increased risk of the blood stream infections (BSI) due to their immune‐compromised status, repeated hospitalizations, and various procedures. Staphylococci, particularly coagulase negative Staphylococci (CoNS) are noteworthy pathogens in such cases, and the emergence of multi‐drug resistance in Staphylococci is a cause of concern. This study was prospectivel...

conclusions these results suggest that addictive behaviors can affect behavioral addictions in bipolar mood patients. behavioral addictions lead to negative emotional regulation strategies and result in increased behavioral addictions in these patients. people with high levels of arousal or those who cannot control their behavioral addictions are probably more prone to addictive behaviors. resu...
