We investigate quality of transmission (QoT) estimation in a multi-band scenario, including wideband description the frequency-dependent physical layer parameters and disaggregated QoT approach.In particular, we use experimentally-derived erbium- thulium-doped fiber amplifier operational data, simulate generation nonlinear interference (NLI) noise by comparing implementations split-step Fourier...

The influences on gene expression by codons at positions +2, +3, +5 and +7 downstream of the initiation codon have been compared. Most of the +2 codons that are known to give low gene expression are associated with a higher expression if placed at the later positions. The NGG codons AGG, CGG, UGG and GGG, but not GGN or GNG (where N is non-G), are unique since they are associated with a very lo...

F10, the gene encoding the major eggshell protein of the parasitic trematode Schistosoma mansoni has been recently cloned and sequenced (1, 2). The nucleotide sequence predicted a protein with 160 amino acids and a 48.7% content of glycine. Most of the glycines are in a stretch extending from amino acid 25 to 112, corresponding to nucleotides 329 to 593 in the gene sequence. We aligned this str...

huntingtons disease (hd) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by involuntary movements, behavioral and personality changes, dementia and cognitive decline. although the mean age of onset is about 40 years, it varies from 5 to 79 years. therefore, at-risk individuals are never sure to have escaped the disease. hd is a member of the growing family of neurodegenerative disorder...

Multi-Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT) imaging of the lungs allow for detection and follow-up of very small lesions including solid and ground glass nodules (GGNs). However relatively few computer-based methods have been implemented for GGN segmentation. GGNs can be divided into pure GGNs and mixed GGNs, which contain both nonsolid and solid components (SC). This latter category is especially o...

objectives the aim of this study was to present the incidence and characteristics of repeated tbi (rtbi) in iranian patients. patients and methods during one year, all admitted tbi patients with prior tbi history were enrolled into the study. in each patient, data such as age, gender, past medical history, injury cause, anatomic site of injury, tbi severity, clinical findings and ct scan findin...

background traumatic brain injury (tbi) is a worldwide problem, especially in countries with high incidences of road traffic accidents such as iran. patients with a single occurrence of tbi have been shown to be at increased risk to future tbi. this study presents incidences and characteristics of repeated traumatic brain injury (rtbi) in iran. materials and methods during one year, all admitte...
