shiga toxins (stxs) are bacterial virulence factors produced by shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 and escherichia coli strains. stxs are critical factors for the development of diseases such as severe bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome. additionally, stxs trigger the secretion of pro- inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, particularly in monocytes or macrophages. the inflammatory cyto...

In this paper, a boosting-based incremental hybrid intrusion detection system is introduced. This system combines incremental misuse detection and incremental anomaly detection. We use boosting ensemble of weak classifiers to implement misuse intrusion detection system. It can identify new classes types of intrusions that do not exist in the training dataset for incremental misuse detection. As...

Liquid-liquid equilibria for the (water + lactic acid + benzyl alcohol or p-xylene) ternary systems were investigated at atmospheric pressure and in the temperature range from 298.15-318.15 K. The studied systems exhibit two types of liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) behavior. The system consisting of benzyl alcohol displays type-1 LLE behavior, while a type-2 behavior is exhibited by th...

background: prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among men. new gene expressed in prostate (ngep), is a prostate-specific gene expressed only in normal prostate and prostate cancer tissue. because of its selective expression in prostate cancer cell surface, ngep is a potential immunotherapeutic target. to target the ngep in prostate cancer, it is essential to investigat...

In this paper, we proposed an intra 16×16 line-by-line (LbL) prediction. First, we find suitable quantization parameters (QP) for the high resolution videos without the significant subjective quality degradation. Then, we show that closer reference pixels give better prediction through the experiment. Using this observation, we propose an improved intra prediction method. In the proposed method...

the past, the process capability index (PCI) was the only one used in on-line quality management; there were no researches on off-line applications, such as product design or process planning. In using conventional PCI for off-line application, designers normally established the process mean close to the design target, and minimized the process variance so that the PCI value would be maximized....

Parameter design methods, in general, do not take into account the common occurrence that some of the uncontrollable factors are observable for products and processes, during operation and production, respectively. This paper introduces a methodology that facilitates on-line parameter design for products and processes utilizing the extra information available about observable uncontrollable fac...

The bus system in a high-speed public transportation systems are equipped with modern technology that due to accuracy, speed and flexibility have been considered as one of the improvement solutions in Tehran's public transport system. In this article the performance of BRT line three of Tehran has been evaluated based on the established standard in 2013, developed by the Institute for Developme...

The architecture of a software product line is one of its most important artifacts as it represents an abstraction of the products that can be generated. It is crucial to evaluate the quality attributes of a product line architecture in order to: increase the productivity of the product line process and the quality of the products; provide a means to understand the potential behavior of the pro...
