background: application of follicular fluid (ff) and platelet-activating factor (paf) in artificial insemination improves sperm motility. lactate dehydrogenase c (ldh-c) is a key enzyme for sperm motility. in this study, the effects of ff and paf on the sperm motility index and ldh-c expression were investigated. moreover, ldh-c expression was compared between asthenozoospermic and normozoosper...

background: understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in cell/tumor growth and progression has led to molecular-targeted therapy. her1 and her2 are two main oncogenic components of her-receptor family considered as targets for cancer research and therapy. reliable results of her- related research and targeted therapies dependent upon cell line with known her expression status....

conclusions the canola oilseeds could provide a useful expression system to produce hcv core protein as a vaccine candidate. results western blot analysis using anti-his antibody confirmed the presence of a 15 kda protein in the seeds of t1 transgenic lines. the amount of antigenic protein accumulated in the seeds of these transgenic lines was up to 0.05% of the total soluble protein (tsp). mat...

the main aim of this study was to obtain the crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv) glycoprotein, through either stable transgenic plants or using a transient expression system, and determine the yield, quality and finally the immunogenicity of the plant-made cchfv glycoprotein in a mouse model. we designed and synthesized a codon-optimized g1/g2 gene from the g1 and g2 parts of the cchf...

The mechanism of torque ripple generation by time and space harmonic magnetic fields in permanent magnet synchronous motors is investigated to obtain advanced motor designs. general expression between the ripples air-gap flux densities derived using Maxwell stress tensor. Both numerical experimental verifications this are carried out. By expression, difference surface interior discussed. Based ...

Spectral synthesis techniques often use the OverLap-Add method. But in the case of noise synthesis, both experiments and theory show that this method introduces intensity fluctuations which imply audible artifacts. We propose here new methods to avoid these variations. The first one consists in multiplying the resulting signal by another weighting window to compensate dynamic fluctuations. The ...

A link between a pair of nodes is defined unstable if it is characterized by a packet loss which is not negligible in one or both directions. The presence of unstable links in multihop ad hoc networks is very likely and it depends on several factors (e.g., different transmission capabilities of the devices, interferences caused by additional wireless devices). Their management by the routing pr...
