Evaluation of Serum Perforin, Caspase-3, sFasL and M-30 Levels as Apoptotic Markers in Children With Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2015)
Background: Apoptosis is a main regulator in responses of cellular immunity throughout systemic viral infections. Perforin, soluble Fas ligand, caspase-3 and caspase-cleaved cytokeratin-18 (M-30) are mediators of apoptosis. ...
Association of Aortic Diameters with Coronary Artery Disease Severity and Albumin Excretion
(HINDAWI LTD, 2015)
Introduction. Aortic diameters, aortic distensibility, microalbuminuria, coronary artery disease which are all together related to vascular aging are investigated in this paper. Methods. Eighty consecutive nondiabetic ...
Determination of Fatty Acid Profiles and Esterase Activities in the Gills and Gonads of Vimba vimba (L., 1758)
(SPRINGER, 2015)
The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the gills and gonads of Vimba vimba in terms of fatty acid composition, esterase activity, and esterase band patterns by native-PAGE method. In this context, C16:0 and C18:1n-9 ...
Environmentally Sensitive Hydrogels: N-isopropyl acrylamide/Acrylamide/Mono-, Di-, Tricarboxylic Acid Crosslinked Polymers
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2015)
Environmentally sensitive hydrogels responsive to various stimuli such as temperature, pH, ionic strength of the medium and the solvent were prepared by using N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM), acrylamide (AAm) and monomers ...
Generalized statistical convergence and some sequence spaces in 2-normed spaces
(HACETTEPE UNIV, FAC SCI, 2015)
In this work, we first define the concepts of A-statistical convergence and A(J)-statistical convergence in a 2-normed space and present an example to show the importance of generalized form of convergence through an ideal. ...
Dimension-six anomalous tq gamma couplings in gamma gamma collision at the LHC
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2015)
We have investigated the flavor changing top quark physics on the dimension-six anomalous tq gamma (q = u, c) couplings through the process pp --> p gamma gamma p --> pt (q) over barp at the LHC by considering different ...
Laminar Mixed-Convection Heat Transfer in a Lid-Driven Cavity with Modified Heated Wall
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2015)
In this numerical study, steady laminar mixed-convection heat transfer in a two-dimensional square lid-driven cavity with a modified heated wall is investigated over a range of Richardson numbers, including 0.01, 1, and ...
A new equation for calculation of chemical hardness of groups and molecules
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2015)
Chemical hardness is considered to be a useful theoretical descriptor in many experimental and theoretical studies and this concept has several important applications in chemistry. In this study, an equation for atomic ...
Modeling of reflectance properties of ZnO film using artificial neural networks
(NATL INST OPTOELECTRONICS, 2015)
A ZnO thin film was prepared on a p-Si (100) substrate by using a pulsed filtered cathodic vacuum arc deposition system (PFCVAD). Specular reflectance, a nondestructive technique, can be used to measure thickness, refractive ...
Sexual Function in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure on Hemodialysis and Its Effects on Patients' Perception of Health and Life Satisfaction
(SPRINGER, 2015)
This descriptive and correlational study was conducted to determine both sexual functions of patients with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis and the relationship between sexual function and "life satisfaction and ...
