Salicylic acid restricts mercury translocation by activating strong antioxidant defense mechanisms in sweet pepper (Capsicum annum L.) by Khalid, Muhammad Fasih

“…So, the experiment was designed to assess the effect of SA on sweet pepper (Capsicum annum L.) seedlings grown under different Hg toxicity concentrations. Spraying of 100 μM SA at three different Hg levels, i.e., 0 μM, 50 μM, 100 μM, and 150 μM. …”

Beta-caryophyllene exhibits anti-proliferative effects through apoptosis induction and cell cycle modulation in multiple myeloma cells by Mannino, Federica

“…These effects were counteracted by AM630 co-incubation, thus confirming that BCP’s mechanism of action is mainly related to CB2R modulation. A decrease in β-catenin regulated the impaired cell cycle and especially promoted cyclin D1 and CDK 4/6 reduction. …”

Concrete Pavement Truck Equivalence Factors For Upgrades by Razouki, Sabah Said

“…Presented in this paper are the upgrade truck equivalence factors for single unit trucks of type, 1.2 and 1.22 which are not covered by AASHTO. The equivalency factors for front and rear axles of single unit trucks were developed using AASHO Road Test equation after considering the decrease in front axle load and the increase in rear axle load due to the axle load redistribution on upgrades. …”

Combine iron Chelation therapy ameliorates decline of iron on iron loaded Zebrafish embryo by Ibrahim, Mustafa

“…As expected, iron chelators (e.g., 100 μM DFO or L1) reduced the level of iron. These studies confirm that cellular iron utilization requires one chelator to have the properties to enter cells, chelate intracellular iron and subsequently that go to another chelator with higher affinity to iron binding. …”

Overconfident results with the bivariate random effects model for meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies by Furuya-Kanamori, Luis

“…Diaz found that the performance of the bivariate model deteriorates when between-study heterogeneity increases and the number of studies decrease.5 Our simulation studies found similar results—with moderate levels of heterogeneity (tau2 = 1), the coverage probabilities of Se, Sp, and the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) with the bivariate model dropped below the nominal level.6 Diagnostic accuracy studies usually favor sensitivity over specificity, or vice versa leading to diagnostic 2 × 2 tables with one or more of the cells with low frequency or zero counts. …”
