The lipid composition of the sperm membrane has a significant effect upon the functional characteristics of spermatozoa. In the present study we investigated the fatty acid (FA) composition of subpopulations of spermatozoa separated on a discontinuous Percoll gradient (47:90%) and the FA composition of phospholipids (PL) of sperm heads and tails in both normal and abnormal semen samples. In nor...

The goal of instance matching is to detect identity resources, which refer to the same real-world object. In this paper, we introduce SLINT+, a novel interlinking system. SLINT+ detects all identity linked data resources between two given repositories. SLINT+ does not require the specifications of RDF predicates and labeled matching resources. SLINT+ performs competitively at OAEI instance matc...

The present study has been conducted to determine the surface water quality of urban area in Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh by determining some water quality parameters (Transparency, Temperature, pH, EC, Eh, DO, TSS, TDS, TS, BOD5, COD, TOC, Cl-, Br-, SO4-2, NO3-, NO2-, PO4-3, TP, HCO3- and Total alkalinity) as well as the status of phytoplankton’s community in the water from two lakes (Tiger Lake a...

Even with my oÆ e door partly losed, I an hear my olleagues down the hall arguing. Ea h is riti izing the other's latest theory of the mi ros opi Universe. Ba king his opponent into a orner, one a uses the other of trying to reate a theory whi h violates a fundamental symmetry of Nature.

Prolonged administration of sublethal doses of organophosphorus cholinesterase inhibitors results in adaptation to their toxicity. In order to investigate this phenomenon, we exposed rats to 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4 LD50 of tabun sc daily during four weeks. AChE activities in erythrocytes, diaphragm and brain were inhibited dose-dependently after days 7 and 14 of the study and started to recover thereaf...
