Protein structure analysis from DNA sequences is an important and fast growing area in both computer science and biochemistry. One of the most important problems is that two proteins, both of which have the similar three-dimensional structure, have different functions, such as ll/sozyme and lactalbumin. In such cases, comparative analysis of both amino acid sequences is effective to detect the ...

Ultra-wideband (UWB) Microwave imaging (MWI) is a promising breast cancer detection technology which exploits the significant contrast in dielectric properties between normal breast tissue and tumor. Previously, data-independent methods, such as delay-and-sum (DAS) and space-time (ST) beamforming, have been used for microwave imaging. However, the low resolution and the poor interference suppre...

This study examines the information content on hydrometeors that could be provided by a future HYperspectral Microwave Sensor (HYMS) with frequencies ranging from 6.9 to 874 GHz (millimeter and sub-millimeter regions). Through optimal estimation theory the information content is expressed quantitatively in terms of degrees of freedom for signal (DFS). For that purpose the Atmospheric Radiative ...

Abstract Introduction Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) remains underused despite its well-established therapeutic effect and clear guidelines. Among various reasons are the lack of referral, fear complications high cost. The assessment mechanical dyssynchrony (MD) on echocardiography has been suggested to aid patient selection. In past, however, several studies have used old markers MD p...

The purpose of this paper is to survey the possible topologies of branching space-times, and, in particular, to refute the popular notion in the literature that a branching space-time requires a non-Hausdorff topology. 1 Branching MWI space-times Two basic types of branching universe have been suggested in modern mathematical physics: universes which branch in a style befitting the ‘many-worlds...

Abstract Aim This prospective longitudinal study analyses the potential role of Myocardial Work in early detection cardiotoxicity during chemotherapy and its added value for prognosis patients' risk stratification. Methods We enrolled 47 consecutive female patients with HER2-positive breast cancer referred anti-cancer therapy based on anthracycline taxane. Patients depressed LV function at base...

In this context, we have demonstrated a highly efficient and green process for the preparation of various potentially biologically active functionalized 4-(5-hydroxybenzo[a]phenazin-6-yl)-5-phenyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-one derivatives via one-pot, four-component cyclo-condensation reaction in presence catalytic amounts phosphotungstic acid supported on TiO2 as nontoxic, reactive, eco-friend...

Abstract Aim Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is an important cause of graft failure after heart transplantation (HTx) and a challenge for echocardiographic evaluation. We sought to evaluate the accuracy most novel tools assessment RV remodelling function in asymptomatic HTx recipients with without rejection. Methods All patients underwent right catheterization biopsy, cardiac magnetic resona...

A microwave assisted reaction protocol for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling has been developed. Substituted arylboronic acids and arylsulfonyl chlorides couple under irradiation (MWI) to produce cross-biphenyls in high yields aerobic condition. The principal advantage of this is that formation was achieved within shorter time along with desulfurization chloride. In-situ generated Pd nanoparticles ...

In previous work, we introduced median decompositions of graphs, a generalisation of tree decompositions where a graph can be modelled after any median graph, along with a hierarchy of i-medianwidth parameters (mwi)i≥1 starting from treewidth and converging to the clique number. We introduce another graph parameter based on the concept of median decompositions, to be called i-latticewidth and d...
