Functional life of a zinc oxide arrester block is largely dependent on its energy absorption capability which is an important characteristic in ensuring enhanced reliability of a surge protection system. An arrester block is usually cylindrical in shape with two flat surfaces. Injected energy from the stroke of transient electrical surge into the a

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of the nonsurgical perio¬dontal treatment in terms of its effect on the hs-CRP and ESR in consecutive subjects diagnosed with chronic periodontitis in order to improve sensitivity and specificity. Methods: 25 systematically healthy subjects diagnosed with chronic periodon¬titis were recr

The design and off-design studies of hypersonic air-breathing engines face many challenges because of the complexity of their internal flows. Mixing and combustion processes in Supersonic-Combustion Ramjet (scramjet) engines involve complicated aerothermochemical features such as interactions between shock-waves and boundary-layer, shock induced-co

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a secreted homodimeric protein that plays an important role in regulating various cellular responses including cell proliferation and differentiation, extracellular matrix production, embryonic development and apoptosis. Disruption of the TGF-β signalling pathway is associated with diverse disease states i

Sponge-derived fungi have recently attracted attention as an important source of interest- ing bioactive compounds. Aspergillus nomius NC06 was isolated from the marine sponge Neopetrosia chaliniformis. This fungus was cultured on rice medium and yielded four compounds including three new oxisterigmatocystins, namely, J, K, and L (1, 2, and 3), and
