Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) is a member of the family Birnaviridae that has been linked to high mortalities in salmonids. Bacterial based systems as live vectors for the delivery of heterologous antigens offer a number of advantages as vaccination strategies. VP2 is a structural viral protein of IPNV with immunogenicity effects. In this study IPNV was isolated from diseased fry ...

Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases responsible for high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore, designing new and effective therapeutics is of great importance. The aim of the current study was to construct a DNA vaccine containing structural proteins of HCV and evaluation of its expression in a eukaryot...

This paper proposes a new method for direct control of active power and stator flux of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) used in the wind power generation system. Active power and stator flux are controlled by the proposed discrete time algorithm. Despite the commonly used vector control methods, there is no need for inner current control loops. To decrease the errors between refere...

Decision support systems are currently achieving higher classification accuracies by using more complex reasoning mechanisms. Examples of such mechanisms include support vector machines and neural networks. However in spite of these increases in accuracy many decision support systems are not accepted by users. In domains where there is a high cost associated with incorrect classifications, such...

We present a methodology for characterization and an approach for computing the solutions of fuzzy linear systems with LR fuzzy variables. As solutions, notions of exact and approximate solutions are considered. We transform the fuzzy linear system into a corresponding linear crisp system and a constrained least squares problem. If the corresponding crisp system is incompatible, then the fuzzy ...

alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme with widespread use in research and industry such as protein labeling, dephosphorylation of nucleic acids, and enzyme based biosensors. in the present study, alkaline phosphatase gene was inserted into the pet15b vector. the recombinant dna was then expressed using iptg as an inducer. the expression of this enzyme was optimized by changing expression conditions...

the problem of automatic signature recognition has received little attention incomparison with the problem of signature verification, despite its potentialapplications for many business processes and can be used effectively in paperlessoffice projects. this paper presents model-based off-line signature recognition withrotation invariant features. non-linear rotation of signature patterns is one...

in this paper, a new alternative method for order reduction of high order systems is presented based on optimization of multi objective fitness function by using harmony search algorithm. at first, step response of full order system is obtained as a vector, then, a suitable fixed structure considered for model order reduction which order of original system is bigger than fixed structure model. ...
