In this study, we synthesized Herceptin conjugated magnetic nanoparticles (HMNs) as an alternative probe to discover the levels of HER2 (Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2) in the surface of cells. These nanoparticles can be used by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (non-invasive methods) for screening the patients with HER2 positive or negative tumors. Dextran coated iron oxide nanopartic...

This article contains the theoretical foundations of LPTP, a logic program theorem prover that has been implemented in Prolog by the author. LPTP is an interactive theorem prover in which one can prove correctness properties of pure Prolog programs that contain negation and built-in predicates like is/2 and call/n + 1. The largest example program that has been verified using LPTP is 635 lines l...

Astrocytes play a critical role during the development and the maintenance of the CNS in health and disease. Yet, their lack of accessibility from fetuses and from the brain of diseased patients has hindered our understanding of their full implication in developmental and pathogenic processes. Human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are an alternative source to obtain large quantities of astrocytes...

thrity seven isolates of magnaporthe grisea collected from several host plants from family of poaceae namely digitaria singuinalis, setaria italica, and echinochloa sp.were tested for their pathogenecity against two susceptible rice cultivars. conidial suspensions were prepared by the surfaces of 14-day-old cultures being washed with sterile water and adjusting the final concentrations to appro...

In this paper we investigate the recently found γ-deformed Maldacena-Nunez background by studying the behavior of different semiclassical string configurations. This background is conjectured to be dual to dipole deformations of N = 1 SYM. We compare our results to those in the pure Maldacena-Nunez background and show that the energies of our string configurations are higher than in the undefor...

We show here how to approach with an increasing precision the limit-cycles of Liénard systems, bifurcating from a stable stationary state, by contour lines of Hamiltonian systems derived from a potential-Hamiltonian decomposition of the Liénard flow. We evoked in a previous Note the case (non polynomial) of pure potential systems (n-switches) and pure Hamiltonian systems (2D Lotka-Volterra), an...
