Effect of Corticosteroids on Acrylamide Monomer Toxicity
Abstract: Acrylamide (ACR) is a chemical used in many industries around the world and more recently was found to form naturally in foods cooked at high temperatures. Acrylamide was shown to be a neurotoxicant, reproductive toxicant, and carcinogen in animal species. Only the neurotoxic effects were observed in humans and only at high levels of exposure in occupational settings. The mechanism underlying neurotoxin effects of ACR may be basic to the …

Biological Network Clustering using Distance and Graphical Network Algorithm
Abstract: Clustering is a process of grouping together similar data items together based on certain percentage of similarity or certain amount of threshold value. The study of the protein-protein interaction is an important task as this is necessary in order to identify how the proteins are grouped together and how they interact with each other. This process of studying or identifying the protein-protein interaction so far done anciently is followed by …
