The variability introduced into measurements by a measuring instrument is referred to as measurement instrument precision. Experimental procedures and analysis methods exist when measurements are repeatable and can be repeated on the same item. However, when the measurements are destructive and repeated measurements are not possible, estimating measuring instrument precision...
The aim of this thesis is to study past 10 years of security vulnerabilities reported against Linux Kernel and all existing mitigation techniques that prevent the exploitation of those vulnerabilities. To systematically study the security vulnerabilities, they were categorized into classes and sub-classes based on their type.
This thesis first...
Automated storage and Retrieval (AS/R) systems have had
a significant impact on storage and retrieval of finished
goods, work-in-process, and raw materials and supplies. A
microcomputer-based simulation model was developed to
evaluate different unit load AS/R systems serving multiple
input sources and output destinations. The simulation results
were statistically analyzed...

In long distance transmission where it is impossible to transmit a direct current for electric rail roading and for many other applications on a very low voltage percent line loss, it is essential to transmit the power by means of an alternating current at high pressure and then reduce its...
Herein, we report the successful development of a novel nanosystem capable of an efficient delivery and temperature-triggered drug release specifically aimed at cancer. The water-soluble 130.1 ± 0.2 nm iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were obtained via synthesis of a monodispersed iron oxide core stabilized with tetramethylammonium hydroxide pentahydrate (TMAOH), followed...
Objective:
To evaluate the effect of Nelumbo Nucifera leaf water extract (NNLE) on insulinoma (RIN) cells induced by interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) and interfer-on-g (IFN-γ), and injured pancreatic ß-cells induced by Streptozotocin (STZ) in rats.
Methods:
The anti-oxidative effects of NNLE were assessed using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and nitric oxide (NO) scavenging assays....
BACKGROUND: Glucose homeostasis is distorted by defects of the PI3K/AKT and AMPK pathways in insulin-sensitive tissues, allowing the accumulation of glucose in the blood. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects and mechanisms by which ethanol extract of Caulerpa lentillifera (CLE) regulates glucose metabolism in C57BL/KsJ-db/db (db/db)...
