Mini dental implants : principles and practice / Victor I. Sendax.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.xxii, 296 p. :Covering the latest advances in mini dental implant technology, Mini Dental Implants: Principles and Practice makes it easy to incorporate MDIs into your practice. An illustrated, evidence-based approach shows how MDIs can provide successful outcomes in long-term use and also in shorter-term transitional applications. This success is proven by 20 years of clinical trials and research, showing that the Sendax Mini Dental Implant System can benefit your patients with faster surgery, reduced pain, faster healing, and less risk of infection. Written by noted implant dentistry expert Dr. Victor I. Sendax, this text allows you to offer patients a minimally invasive, immediately functional, and lower-cost alternative to traditional dental implants
Intelligent Traffic Management System
No full textIntroduction Traffic signals serve a major role when it comes to the effective functioning of road networks, especially in urban areas. The objective of this project is to develop and simulate an effective and efficient system that manages vehicular traffic via signalized control to optimize intersection signal timing and cycle length The main performance measure to indicate whether the system performs to this standard is delay. The goal is to minimize delay and maximize junction utilization. The demand for such system designed to minimize delays increases with the growing population and urbanization. There are two main categories of signalized traffic control: fixed timing and adaptive / traffic responsive control. Fixed timing control employs cycles of a fixed duration. They do not take into consideration traffic volumes or time of day - they are static. With adaptive/responsive control, the traffic volumes are taken into consideration the cycle length is based on the traffic volume. This is a more dynamic and efficient approac
Private cloud computing : consolidation, virtualization, and service-oriented infrastructure / Stephen R. Smoot, Nam K. Tan.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.Book fair 2013.xvii, 399 p. :Private cloud computing enables you to consolidate diverse enterprise systems into one that is cloud-based and can be accessed by end-users seamlessly, regardless of their location or changes in overall demand. Expert authors Steve Smoot and Nam K. Tan distill their years of networking experience to describe how to build enterprise networks to create a private cloud. With their techniques you'll create cost-saving designs and increase the flexibility of your enterprise, while maintaining the security and control of an internal network. Private Cloud Computing offers a complete cloud architecture for enterprise networking by synthesizing WAN optimization, next-generation data centers, and virtualization in a network-friendly way, tying them together into a complete solution that can be progressively migrated to as time and resources permit. Describes next-generation data center architectures such as the virtual access-layer, the unified data center fabric and the "rack-and-roll" deployment model. Provides an overview of cloud security and cloud management from the server virtualization perspective. Presents real-world case studies, configuration and examples that allow you to easily apply practical know-how to your existing enterprise environment. Offers effective private cloud computing solutions to simplify the costly and problematic challenge of enterprise networking and branch server consolidation
Organic structure determination using 2-D NMR spectroscopy : a problem-based approach / Jeffrey H. Simpson.
No full textpharmacy bookfair2015Includes bibliographical references and index.xvi, 574 pages :"The second edition of this book comes with a number of new figures, passages, and problems. Increasing the number of figures from 290 to 448 has necessarily added considerable length, weight, and, expense. It is my hope that the book has not lost any of its readability and accessibility. I firmly believe that most of the concepts needed to learn organic structure determination using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy do not require an extensive mathematical background. It is my hope that the manner in which the material contained in this book is presented both reflects and validates this belief"-- Provided by publisher

Thymoquinone blocks lung injury and fibrosis by attenuating bleomycin-induced oxidative stress and activation of nuclear factor Kappa-B in rats
No full textPulmonary fibrosis is one of the most common chronic interstitial lung diseases with high mortality rate after diagnosis and limited successful treatment. The present study was designed to assess the potential antifibrotic effect of thymoquinone (TQ) and whether TQ can attenuate the severity of oxidative stress and inflammatory response during bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Male Wister rats were treated intraperitoneally with either bleomycin (15 mg/kg, 3 times a week for 4 weeks) and/or thymoquinone (5 mg/kg/day, 1 week before and until the end of the experiment). Bleomycin significantly increased lung weight and the levels of Lactate dehydrogenase, total leucocytic count, total protein and mucin in bronchoalveolar lavage and these effects were significantly ameliorated by TQ treatment. As markers of oxidative stress, bleomycin caused a significant increase in the levels of lipid peroxides and nitric oxide accompanied with a significant decrease in the antioxidant enzyme activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione transferase. TQ treatment restored these markers toward normal values. TQ also coun- teracted emphysema in air alveoli, inflammatory cell infiltration, lymphoid hyperplastic cells activation surrounding the bronchioles and the over expression of activated form of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-B) in lung tissue that was induced by bleomycin. Fibrosis was assessed by measuring hydroxyproline content, which increased markedly in the bleomycin group and significantly reduced by concurrent treatment with TQ. Furthermore, histopathological examination confirmed the antifibrotic effect of TQ. Collectively these findings indicate that TQ has potential antifibrotic effect beside its antioxidant activity that could
