A new hybrid extragradient iterative method for approximating the common solutions of a system of variational inequalities, a mixed equilibrium problem, and a hierarchical fixed point problem
(
Hindawi
, 2013 , Article)
We suggest and analyze an iterative scheme for finding the approximate element of the common set of solutions of a system of variational inequalities, a mixed equilibrium problem, and a hierarchical fixed point problem in ...
Salinomycin induces apoptosis and senescence in breast cancer: Upregulation of p21, downregulation of survivin and histone H3 and H4 hyperacetylation
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Background
In the present study, we investigated the effect of Salinomycin on the survival of three human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, T47D and MDA-MB-231 grown in adherent culture conditions.
Methods
Cell viability ...
Cyclic AMP-Rap1A signaling mediates cell surface translocation of microvascular smooth muscle α2C-adrenoceptors through the actin-binding protein filamin-2
(
American Physiological Society
, 2013 , Article)
The second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) plays a vital role in vascular physiology, including vasodilation of large blood vessels. We recently demonstrated cAMP activation of Epac-Rap1A and RhoA-Rho-associated kinase ...
Regression-type estimators for adaptive two-stage sequential sampling
(
Springer
, 2013 , Article)
Adaptive two-stage sequential sampling (ATSSS) design was developed to observe more rare units and gain higher efficiency, in the sense of having a smaller variance estimator, than conventional sampling designs with equal ...
Asymptotic properties of the sample mean in adaptive stratified sequential sampling with multiple selection criteria
(
Iranian Mathematical Society
, 2013 , Article)
We extend the method of adaptive two-stage sequen-tial sampling to include designs where there is more than one crite-ria used in deciding on the allocation of additional sampling effort. These criteria, or conditions, can ...
The Museum of Islamic Art: Form, perception, and environment
(
Common Ground Research Networks
, 2013 , Article)
Islamic Arab societies have a distinctive but culturally common system of beliefs, attitudes, and values that over time have formed traditional expression. These traditions have been articulated through art, architecture, ...
A FCM and SURF based algorithm for segmentation of multispectral face images
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, we propose a novel clustering algorithm based on Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) and Speeded-Up Robust Feature (SURF) for multispectral image segmentation. In the experiments, color images and multispectral images from ...
Adhesive properties of polyester treated by cold plasma in oxygen and nitrogen atmospheres
(2013 , Article)
Polyester foil was treated by the surface diffuse barrier discharge (SDBD) plasma at atmospheric pressure in oxygen and/or in nitrogen containing a small amount of oxygen to improve its surface and adhesive properties. ...
Photoactuating of materials designed for haptic aid-tablets for visually impaired people based on styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene block copolymer nanocomposites
(2013 , Article)
In this study, the photoactuation of styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene (SIS) block copolymer containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) is shown. In order to improve dispersion, the MWCNT were ovalently modified either by ...
Aqueous electrolyte system for porous silicon using electrochemical anodization
(
IEEE Xplore
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Electrochemical anodization on n-type silicon was performed with silicon as anode and platinum as cathode in a weak-acid aqueous electrolyte containing orthophosphoric acid and ammonium fluoride. Anodization was carried ...
