Objective: To prove probable relations between serum E3 SUMO-protein ligase NSE2 (NSMCE2) concentration, peroxynitrite related to oxidative stress in nephrolithiasis patients. Methods: A total of 60 patients with nephrolithiasis and 50 healthy volunteers were involved in this study. Colorimetric method was used to detect blood urea, creatinine, uri

We investigate the entanglement transfer from the two-mode squeezed state (TMS) to the atomic system by studying the dependence of the negativity on the coupling between the modes of the waveguides. This study is very important since the entanglement is an important feature which has no classical counterpart and it is the main resource of quantum i

Radiation is known to be harmful to human health. However, the effect of radiation at cellular level has yet to be established. This study evaluated the possible effects of radiation on monolayer cultured chondrocytes. Rabbit’s chondrocytes were isolated, serially cultured and divided into two groups; (1) non-irradiated and (2) irradiated. Group

Adulteration of oils and fats is an important commercial issue, which needs intervention from regulatory agencies. Tremendous amount of research have been carried out during the past several decades to address this, starting from classical methods to more sophisticated instrumental techniques. Instrumental techniques based on chromatography and inf

Mis-orientation in unfamiliar domain is a common problem for new visitors when they visit a new location. This study proposes a unique solution by visualizing the real world to 3D model similarly (congruent) while the visitor on the move. Our approach provides visualization of 3D maps in virtual 3D workspace environments which assist a user to navi

This study attempted to examine the feasibility of using medical Computerized Tomography (CT) imaging scanner to monitor the growth of tissue engineered constructs (TECs) in vitro. A preliminary CT examination was performed on TECs prepared from serially expanded chondrocytes seeded on poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) based scaffolds that acte

IT has become one of the most invested areas of organisations, especially in higher education institutions. To safeguard these IT investments and make the most out them, a good IT governance structure is required. It enables the higher education institutions to strive in the competition and to achieve strategic objectives. To have optimum governanc

إن من أهم المقاصد الشرعية الحفاظَ على حقوق الناس ومصالحِهم، وتأمينَ احتياجاتهم أفراداً وجماعاتٍ، وتأمينَ ما يكفل لهم الحياة الآمنة المستقرة، وما أرسل الله الرسل بالشريعة إلا ليحقق مصالحَ خل�

This study investigates model of employees’ readiness to change based on the psychosocial predictors namely; appropriateness of change, management support, change efficacy, individual spirituality and openness to experience. The present study also examined the role of job satisfaction and organizational commitment in mediating the relationship be

This study purified and characterized the protease from Bacillus licheniformis that was cultured in skim latex serum fortified media. Ammonium sulphate precipitation and ion exchange chromatograph was employed in purification steps with the enzyme activity increase to 2.28 fold of purification compare to the crude enzyme. Assessment of the purified
