background: the aim of this study was to assess the performance of antigen b (agb) isolated from different echinococcus granulosus intermediate hosts and from different cyst locations for immu­nodiagnosis of human cystic echinococcosis (ce). methods: hydatid cyst fluids were collected from lung and liver cysts of sheep, liver cysts of goats, lung cysts of camels and cattle, and liver cysts of h...

Hydatid cyst fluid has been used as a source of antigen for the serodiagnosis of Echinococcus granulosus infection. Due to cross-reactions with antigens shared by other helminthes, the specific antigen from hydatid cyst fluid was purified by many workers. We used a relatively simple technique for purification of specific antigen from sheep hydatid cyst fluid. Isopycnic ultracentrifugation w...

Super-orthogonal block codes in space-time domain (i.e., Super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes (SOSTTCs)) were initially designed for frequency nonselective (FNS) channels but in frequency selective (FS) channels these super-orthogonal block codes suffer performance degradation due to signal interference. To combat the effects of signal interference caused by the frequency selectivity of th...

Peer-to-peer systems have recently introduced the notion of super-peers to improve search performance. While the benefit to end users is clear, it is not immediately evident who, if anyone, would be motivated to act as a super-peer. On the face of it, super-peers bear a much larger traffic burden than normal peers and receive negligible improvement in search performance when compared to any of ...

It is well known that the category of super Lie groups (SLG) is equivalent to the category of super Harish-Chandra pairs (SHCP). Using this equivalence, we define the category of unitary representations (UR's) of a super Lie group. We give an extension of the classical inducing construction and Mackey imprimitivity theorem to this setting. We use our results to classify the irreducible unitary ...

Isaacs has defined a character to be super monomial if every primitive character inducing it is linear. Isaacs has conjectured that if G is an M -group with odd order, then every irreducible character is super monomial. We prove that the conjecture is true if G is an M -group of odd order where every irreducible character is a {p}-lift for some prime p. We say that a group where irreducible cha...

The "Super-V LCD" (Super View LCD) is a high performance TFT-LCD using high aperture ratio technology "Super-HA(High Aperture)", wide viewing angle technology "Super-VA(Viewing Angle)", interface technology and so on. Super-VA technology has optimized optical parameters and has employed a new technique of alignment control structure of liquid crystal molecules. Super-VA technology obtained wide...

background : echinococcosis or hydatidosis is a chronic, zoonotic worldwide infection caused by the larval stage of the dog taeniid tapeworm echinococcus granulosus. vaccination has been considered as one of the ways to prevent of hy-datidosis in recent decades. the aim of this study was to construct a pcdna3.1 eukaryotic expression vector contain-ing the subunit 8-kda antigen b (hyd1) of e. gr...

in addition to ultrasonographic monitoring of folliculogenesis, urinary luteinizing hormone testing, luteal phase endometrial biopsy, serum antiphospholipid antibodies, etc., immunologic tests are recently being used to evaluate reproductive disorders. in this study, sharing of hla-a, b, c and dr antigens and the presence of antipaternal cytotoxic antibody (apca) was assessed using microcytotox...

background: breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. prostate‑specifc antigen  (psa) is a marker of prostate gland malignancy, which has been considered in cases with breast cancer in recent years. the goal of this study was to determine total and free psa levels in cases with malignant and benign breast lesions. methods:   in  this case–control study, ninety women with histological pr...
