Carnosol induces ROS-mediated beclin1-independent autophagy and apoptosis in triple negative breast cancer
(
Public Library of Science
, 2014 , Article)
Background: In this study we investigated the in vitro and in vivo anticancer effect of carnosol, a naturally occurring polyphenol, in triple negative breast cancer.Results: We found that carnosol significantly inhibited ...

Purpose: The prevalence of overweight and obesity and the and incidence of non-communicable diseases increased dramatically over the past 20 years in GCC countries includes Qatar (1,2). The early screening and the propagation ...
Fixed point results for generalized chatterjea type contractive conditions in partially ordered G-metric spaces
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2014 , Article)
In the framework of ordered G -metric spaces, fixed points of maps that satisfy the generalized Chatterjea type contractive conditions are obtained. The results presented in the paper generalize and extend several well ...
Approximate analytic solutions of transient nonlinear heat conduction with temperature-dependent thermal diffusivity
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2014 , Article)
A new approach for generating approximate analytic solutions of transient nonlinear heat conduction problems is presented. It is based on an effective combination of Lie symmetry method, homotopy perturbation method, finite ...
Existence and approximation results for SKC mappings in CAT(0) spaces
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2014 , Article)
Recently, Karap?nar and Tas (Comput. Math. Appl. 61:3370-3380, 2011) extended the class of Suzuki-generalized nonexpansive mappings to the class of SKC mappings. In this paper, we investigate SKC mappings to get a criterion ...
Parallel LQP alternating direction method for solving variational inequality problems with separable structure
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper, we propose a logarithmic-quadratic proximal alternating direction method for structured variational inequalities. The predictor is obtained by solving series of related systems of nonlinear equations, and ...
