Background. Locoregional recurrence (LR) in colon cancer is uncommon but often incurable, while the factors associated with it are unclear. The purpose of this study was to identify patterns and predictors of LR after curative resection for colon cancer. Methods. All patients who underwent colon cancer resection with curative intent between 1994 an

Correct types and concentration of plant growth regulators (PGRs) will enhance and optimize the growth of callus cultures. This paper reported the effects of several types of cytokinins (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA)) and auxins (6–Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and kinetin) on the callus induction of C. suhu

Polymer-based nanocomposites have attracted a lot of attention for amperometric biosensor development due to their general physical and chemical properties including biocompatibility, film-forming ability, stability and different functional groups that can be bonded with other biomolecues. In this study, poly-4-vinlyridine homopolymer (P4VP) and po

The residual stresses that develop within fibre-reinforced laminate composites during autoclave processing lead to dimensional warpage known as spring-back deformation. A number of experiments have been conducted on flat laminate composites with unidirectional fibre orientation to examine the effects of both the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters o

Neer first popularised the use of primary hemiarthroplasty to treat complex proximal humerus fractures, especially when the humeral head is nonviable or not reconstructable with internal fixations, and with younger patients. A 16-year-old boy had a motor vehicle accident and sustained a closed right proximal humerus fracture dislocation without neu

This paper introduces the improved parameter estimation of Magnetorheological fluid (MRF) damper models for varying input current. The models being studied for the estimation are Bingham model, Simple Bouc-Wen model, Modified Bouc-Wen model, Hyperbolic Tangent Function model, and Nonlinear Biviscous model. In estimating the parameters of the models

Prophethood is one of main principle of faith in Islam. Allah defined believers by those who believe in Him, His angles, His scriptures, His messengers and the Day of Resurrection (Qur’an: 2, 285). Prophethood denotes individuals who receive divine revelation and their collective preaching of over the span of human history. In Islam, the origin o

In this work, a high-performance catalytic membrane, composed of ultrasmall gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) and high aspect-ratio carbon nanotubes (CNTs), was designed for the continuous-flow catalytic reactions. In this hybrid catalytic membrane, the Au core of the NCs serves as high-performance catalyst, and the ligand of the NCs plays two key roles: (

Tax non-compliance is a subject that has attracted substantial discussion not only within policy circles but also within the academia. The non-compliance issue is very important as the compliance rate will affect the revenue collection from taxpayers of a country. In view of the importance of tax compliance behavior, the present study aims at (1) e

A 6-week experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of diets containing 0, 0.004, 0.008, 0.012 and 0.016 % synthetic canthaxanthin on growth, feed utilization and skin pigmentation of parrot cichlid (Amphilophus citrinellus × Paraneetroplus synspilus). Three hundred and sixty fish with initial body weights of 18.0 ± 1.6 g were randomly st
