The smart grid plays a vital role in decreasing electricity cost through Demand Side Management (DSM).Smart homes, a part of the smart grid, contribute greatly to minimizing electricity consumption cost via scheduling home appliances.However, user waiting time increases due to the scheduling of home appliances.This scheduling problem is the motivat
OBJECTIVES: Soluble factors released by Bifidobacterium breve Floss Products And Dental Tools C50 (Bb) alleviate the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by immune cells, but their effect on intestinal epithelium remains elusive.To decipher the mechanisms accounting for the cross-talk between bacteria/soluble factors and intestinal epithelium, w
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease.Up to 40% of patients with psoriasis may develop psoriatic arthritis.Currently, interleukin (IL)-17/IL-23 pathways are identified as key factors in the immunopathogenesis of both conditions.Here we describe the case of a Shoe Care Kits patient who developed psoriasiform skin lesions 10 mon
In this study, the nanostructured Al/Ni energetic composites were processed using the high-energy ball milling method.The milling conditions, i.e.the ball to powder ratio (BPR), ball sizes, and milling time, were varied to investigate their effect on the microstructures and reaction properties ND Filters of the Al/Ni NECs.Results indicated that lar
