Sodium thiosulfate (STS) is a possible therapeutic candidate molecule in a range of diseases and drug-induced toxicities due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic capabilities. The current study aimed to find the effective dose of STS in adult male rats given nicotine by evaluating serum MDA and blood partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) levels. Thirty-six adult male Wistar rats, Rattus norvegicus (weighing 190–220 g) with an age of 3–3.5 months, were chosen randomly and separated into six equal groups, administered for 28 days. Animals in the control group were administered an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of normal saline, while those in groups 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 received repeated doses of an

The present work was designed to determine the chronic effects of orally administered for treated with 20 mg/kg/b.w. of imidacloprid pesticides and treated with 20 mg/kg/b.w. of nano-imidacloprid on biochemical blood profile in male rats for a duration of 60 d. Result: the exposure caused a significant decline in red blood cells (RBCs) and hemoglobin (H.b.) in all treated groups compared with the control, while causing an increase in blood platelets (PLT) and white blood cells (WBCs) in all rats treated as compared with the control rats.

Much attention has been paid for the use of robot arm in various applications. Therefore, the optimal path finding has a significant role to upgrade and guide the arm movement. The essential function of path planning is to create a path that satisfies the aims of motion including, averting obstacles collision, reducing time interval, decreasing the path traveling cost and satisfying the kinematics constraints. In this paper, the free Cartesian space map of 2-DOF arm is constructed to attain the joints variable at each point without collision. The D*algorithm and Euclidean distance are applied to obtain the exact and estimated distances to the goal respectively. The modified Particle Swarm Optimization al

Show MoreGas hydrate formation is considered one of the major problems facing the oil and gas industry as it poses a significant threat to the production, transportation and processing of natural gas. These solid structures can nucleate and agglomerate gradually so that a large cluster of hydrate is formed, which can clog flow lines, chokes, valves, and other production facilities. Thus, an accurate predictive model is necessary for designing natural gas production systems at safe operating conditions and mitigating the issues induced by the formation of hydrates. In this context, a thermodynamic model for gas hydrate equilibrium conditions and cage occupancies of N2 + CH4 and N2 + CO4 gas mix
Aim: To determine the expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP-2) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and the difference in its expression level between positive and negative HPV-16 (human papilloma virus- 16) OSCC patients. Methods: This study was conducted on 33 biopsies obtained from patients with OSCC and 10 normal oral mucosa as controls. In situ hybridization (ISH) was used to investigate the presence of HPV-16, while immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to estimate the expression level of TIMP-2. Results: The TIMP-2 was expressed in 27 (81.8%) of OSCC sections with no significant difference between its expression level in HPV-16 positive and HPV-16 negative OSCC cases (p=0.058). TIMP-2 was found to be hig

The four techniques are colored histogram features technique, properties features technique, gray level co- occurrence matrix (GLCM) statistical features technique and hybrid technique. The features are extracted from the data base images and query (test) images in order to find the similarity measure. The similarity-based matching is very important in CBIR, so, three types of similarity measure are used, normalized Mahalanobis distance, Euclidean distance and Manhattan distance. A comparison between them has been implemented. From the results, it is conclud
