Radish (Raphanus sativus) and Diabetes

Abstract: For more than three decades, various in vitro and in vivo studies have linked radishes with diabetes, though this link has not been discussed. This review systematically addresses and summarizes the effect of radishes on diabetes. We searched the Web of Science, PubMed, and EMBASE databases for English language articles from June 1987 through May 2017 using the key words “radish” and “diabetes,” and the references from particular reports were also considered if relevant. In summary, radish has been identified as having antidiabetic effects, making it favorable for those with diabetic conditions. This may be due to its ability to enhance the antioxidant defense mechanism and reduce the accumulation of free radicals, affect hormonal-induced glucose hemostasis, promote glucose uptake and energy metabolism, and reduce glucose absorption in the intestine. However, this summary requires further confirmation in research in vivo studies and clinical trials.

Novel method for synthesis of Fe3O4@TiO2 core/shell nanoparticles

Abstract: A simple and efficient method has been developed to synthesize Fe3O4@TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) Firstly, magnetite (Fe3O4) NPs are prepared by co-precipitation method during which an additive coating with polyethylene glycol (PEG) is applied Then, the core/shell structured NPs are achieved by including the surface coating of Fe3O4 NPs with a thin layer of titania (TiO2), using modified sol-gel method The NPs' size, structure, morphology, surface charge, thermal stability, optical and magnetic properties have been investigated by various characterization techniques The results demonstrate the successful coating of the Fe3O4 NPs surfaces with TiO2 Fe3O4@TiO2 NPs have a spherical shape with an average size of 73 nm The as-prepared Fe3O4@TiO2 NPs exhibit UV wavelengths absorption and visible light emissions Furthermore, they exhibit excellent magnetic properties suitable for magnetic separation and targeting Being thermodynamically stable, the characteristics of the NPs can be explored in photonics and further applications like for instance environmental purifications

Multi-agent based dynamic resource provisioning and monitoring for cloud computing systems infrastructure

Abstract: The cloud computing paradigm provides a shared pool of resources and services with different models delivered to the customers through the Internet via an on-demand dynamically-scalable form charged using a pay-per-use model. The main problem we tackle in this paper is to optimize the resource provisioning task by shortening the completion time for the customers' tasks while minimizing the associated cost. This study presents the dynamic resources provisioning and monitoring (DRPM) system, a multi-agent system to manage the cloud provider's resources while taking into account the customers' quality of service requirements as determined by the service-level agreement (SLA). Moreover, DRPM includes a new virtual machine selection algorithm called the host fault detection algorithm. The proposed DRPM system is evaluated using the CloudSim tool. The results show that using the DRPM system increases resource utilization and decreases power consumption while avoiding SLA violations.
