fuzzy controllers are being used in various control schemes. the aim of this work was adjusting hemodialysis machine parameters utilizing a fuzzy logic controller (flc) so that patient’s hemodynamic condition remains stable during hemodialysis treatment. for this purpose a comprehensive mathematical model of the arterial pressure response during hemodialysis, including hemodynamic, osmotic, and...

a proportion of healthy neonates and adults fail to develop a protective antibody response to recombinant hepatitis b (hb) vaccine. unresponsiveness to vaccination could be attributed to defect in a number of immunological regulatory mechanisms. in this study, il-12 was quantitated in culture supernatant following in vitro stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from a group ...

Background: Artemisia diffusa contains a new type of sesquiterpene lactone with an endoperoxide group (Tehranolide). Objective: Due to the existing similarity between the structures of Tehranolide and Artemisinin, it was hypothesized that Tehranolide would have similar effects as Artemisinin. In this study, the immunotherapeutic effec-tiveness of Tehranolide was investigated by direct intra-tum...

Regulation of gene expression via specific cis-regulatory promoter elements has evolved in cellular organisms as a major adaptive mechanism to respond to environmental change. Assuming a simple model of transcriptional regulation, genes that are differentially expressed in response to a large number of different external stimuli should harbor more distinct regulatory elements in their upstream ...
