Over the past few decades, megahertz to terahertz technologies have witnessed unprecedented advances, and in coming years, demand for higher-frequency systems is expected grow further. However, we all know that survive test of time are those best serve mankind. We at IEEE Microwave Theory Technology Society (MTT-S) do exactly that: develop microwave benefit humanity.

background: although the incidence of gastric cancer is declining during the last half century, this cancer still is the second morbid cancer in the world after lung cancer. the incidence of gastric cancer is 26 per 100,000 in iran. this study evaluated the effect of alpinia galangal on ags cells (human gastric adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line) and l929 cells (as a standard cell line origina...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated in vitro cell viability by the colorimetric MTT stands for 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay compared to image analysis by CellProfiler® software. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hepatoma (Hepa-1c1c7) and fibrobla...

A new method is described for measuring the mean transit time (MTT) of digesta through the human gut in which a constant amount of marker (radio-opaque pellets) is fed to subjects with each meal over a period of weeks, and its excretion measured in the stools. The MTT measured by this method (MTT-C) has been compared with MTT measured by giving single doses of similar markers to the same subjec...

Cytotoxicity assays using cell cultures may be an alternative to assess biological toxicity of plant extracts with potential phytotherapeutic properties. This study compared three methods to prepare culture media for the exposure of Vero cells to plant extracts. Leaves of Glandularia selloi (Spreng.) Tronc. were used to prepare culture medium with aqueous extract, extract in culture medium and ...

The worldwide growing interest to biomaterials over the last years results from their irreplaceable role in medical clinic. Hydroxyapatite is used in bone reconstruction because of its similar chemical structure compared to the inorganic composition of human bone and it is basic building component of many newly prepared biomaterials. In this study, we evaluated cytotoxic/antiproliferative activ...
