Antigens recognized by anti-gamma-seminoprotein (gamma-Sm) antibody and anti-prostate-specific antigen (PA) antibody were analyzed immunologically by Ouchterlony method and Western blotting method. The double immunodiffusion test demonstrated that anti-gamma-Sm antibody and anti-PA antibody reacted against an identical antigen in seminal fluid or prostate homogenate. In the immunoblotting exami...

Background and Aims: Rotaviruses are one of the main causative agents of acute viral gastroenteritis in both young human and animals. Several methods have been used for diagnosis of rotavirus infection. Most of these methods are not easily available in Iran. Methods: In our study attempt was made to develop a method which could replace the commercially imported Kit. Rota virus was purified and...

The quantitative comparison of two-dimensional dose distributions (e.g., calculated versus measured) has become a key issue in intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) QA. We proposed a new evaluation method referred to as modified dose difference (MDdiff) evaluation. Hereinafter, features and effectiveness of the MDdiff evaluation method will be described. In this work, the formalism of MDdiff ...

Triangular patterns phase shifting profilometry is a method of structured light whose three-dimensional reconstructions are susceptible to error from gamma distortion. In practice, the luminance nonlinearity caused by the gamma distortion effect of a digital projector and a digital camera yields undesired fringe intensity changes, which substantially reduce the measurement accuracy, and while t...

In the present study, an attempt has been made to develop a method for predicting gamma-turns in proteins. First, we have implemented the commonly used statistical and machine-learning techniques in the field of protein structure prediction, for the prediction of gamma-turns. All the methods have been trained and tested on a set of 320 nonhomologous protein chains by a fivefold cross-validation...

value of its individual pixels. Most of existing gamma correction methods apply a uniform gamma value across the image. Considering the fact that gamma variation for a single image is actually nonlinear, the proposed method locally estimates the gamma values in an image database of training images are constructed from various standard images under different gamma conditions. Then by windowing e...

gamma-Butyrolactone bacterial hormones regulate antibiotic production and morphological differentiation in Streptomyces species. One gamma-butyrolactone, SCB1, has been previously characterized in Streptomyces coelicolor. Here we report the characterization of two additional gamma-butyrolactones, named SCB2 (2-[1'-hydroxyoctyl]-3-hydroxymethylbutanolide) and SCB3 (2-[1'-hydroxy-6'-methyloctyl]-...
