We demonstrate a 4,294,967,296-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) based Y-00 quantum stream cipher system carrying a 160-Gb/s 16-QAM signal transmitted over 320-km SSMF. The ultra-dense QAM cipher template is realized by an integrated two-segment silicon photonics I/Q modulator.In this paper, a flexible non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)…[Read more]

Neutrophils are often the major leukocyte at sites of mycobacterial infection, yet little is known about their ability to kill mycobacteria. In this study we have investigated whether the potent antibacterial oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl) contributes to killing of Mycobacterium smegmatis when this bacterium is phagocytosed by human neutrophils.…[Read more]

There was no significant difference in DNA integrity between fresh and dried samples without storage. After 8 weeks of storage, DNA integrity was maintained in GVs dried for 30 min. Samples dried for 15 min and stored were compromised, suggesting crystallization of the preservation matrix during storage. Biostabilization was optimal when samples…[Read more]

The biological activity of apple pectin extracted conventionally or enzymatically using endo-xylanase and endo-cellulase, was tested in vitro. The analyses were performerd in tetraplicates and the statistical significance of the differences were assessed using ANOVA, Tukey post hoc and LSD (the least significant difference) tests. Multivariate…[Read more]

The broad use/misuse of prescription opioids during pregnancy has resulted in a surge of infants with Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS). Short-term irritability and neurological complications are its hallmarks, but the long-term consequences are unknown.

A newly-developed preclinical model of oxycodone self-administration enables…[Read more]

We study existence, bifurcation and stability of two-dimensional optical solitons in the framework of fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation, characterized by its Lévy index, with self-focusing and self-defocusing saturable nonlinearities. We demonstrate that the fractional diffraction system with different Lévy indexes, combined with sa…[Read more]

37, 63.10, 55.37 % inhibition of Nitric oxide, IL-6, TNF-α respectively.

Our study demonstrated the anti-inflammatory action of 3-Acetylmyricadiol and can serve as a potential candidate in the development of the clinically efficient anti-inflammatory molecule.

Our study demonstrated the anti-inflammatory action of 3-Acetylmyricadiol…[Read more]

C as a marker for lean tissue accretion, especially in edematous children and those in the younger age.

Frequency of SAM relapse was positively associated with age, having edema during admission, while it was negatively associated with discharge MUAC. The results imply the need for reviewing the discharge criteria taking into account the…[Read more]

Evidently, lifespan is limited by the ISR and its inhibition may provide an intervention in aging.Glioma stem cells (GSCs) contribute to therapy resistance and poor outcomes for glioma patients. A significant feature of GSCs is their ability to grow in an acidic microenvironment. However, the mechanism underlying the rewiring of their metabolism…[Read more]

hensive IR practice.A type-2 endoleak after an endovascular aneurysm repair is the most prevalent type of endoleak, but as the clinical consequence of its diagnosis is uncertain, at present, management decisions are solely based on aneurysm sac growth. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of various computed tomography perfusion…[Read more]
