Aeromagnetic data over an extending part of Shilman area, South Eastern Desert (SED) of Egypt have been processed for enhancing the edges of magnetic sources to give a clear understanding of the structural framework. Various edge detectors including 1st vertical derivative (1st VD), total gradient (TG), and Theta were utilized to define the boundar...

Globally HIV-self-test is considered as an important tool to end AIDS. However, several countries, including India, are yet to adopt such a strategy. Against this background, we conducted a qualitative inquiry exploring acceptability of an HIV-oral-self-test (HIVOST) among MSM and TG communities in the district of Pune, India. Discussions were faci...

Plastoviti dvojni hidroksidi (angl. layered double hydroxides – LDH) so strukturno podobni alumosilikatom, ki so glavna sestavina glin. Sestavljeni so iz pozitivno nabitih plasti, v katerih se nahajajo kationi vsaj dveh različnih kovin. Pozitivni naboj plasti kompenzirajo anioni, ki se skupaj z vodo nahajajo v sloju med plastmi. LDH je enostavno si...

Background & Objective: Concentration of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease which is routinely measured or calculated as LDL-C in clinical laboratories. In order to decrease the cost, instead of its measuring, it is recommended to calculate it using multiple formulas that have been introduced up to now. ...

AbstractIn this work, we developed an efficient absorbent material pellet-based made of calcium oxide to capture part of the CO2 emitted by motor vehicles, to obtain an innovative technology for controlling the emission of greenhouse gases. Problems with CO2 capture efficiency using CaO was solved after modifications with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) th...

BackgroundNon-invasive diagnostic markers are of great importance for early screening nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play significant roles in many metabolic disease, including NAFLD. Therefore, this study focusd on a Chinese population to explore the possible correlation between circulating miR-132 and NAFLD.ResultsSe...

Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy
Purpose Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a disease with a steadily increasing incidence throughout the world. Some molecules regulating the innate immune responses such as toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) have shown to be involved in late diabetic complications. This study aimed to investigate the association of TLR4 gene polymorphisms with clinicopat...

Polymers
Glycopolymers are polymers with sugar moieties which display biodegradable and/or biocompatible character. They have emerged as an environmentally-friendly solution to classical synthetic polymers and have attracted significant research interest in the past years. Herein, we present the synthesis of a D-mannose based glycopolymer with biodegradable...
