the aggregation of protein is the most prevalent and the most disturbing kind of instability and this challenge exists in almost every stage of the development of protein drug. the presence of insoluble aggregations in protein drugs will make the supply of the product a tough job. this study identifies the inhibition of the folded interferon beta 1-b’s aggregation with the assistance of some ex...

The aim of this work is to study N−dual structures of representable implications generated from a set M of aggregation functions and pairs of mutual dual functions, founded on the isomorphism between the unit interval and special instances of the Goguen’s L-fuzzy sets. We discuss under which conditions representable functions preserve the main properties of their N−dual interval approach.

Data aggregation processes aim to reduce the amount of exchanged data in wireless sensor networks and consequently minimize the packet overhead and optimize energy efficiency. Securing the data aggregation process is a real challenge since the aggregation nodes must access the relayed data to apply the aggregation functions. The data aggregation security problem has been widely addressed in cla...

epidemiologic studies show that the cardiovascular diseases are associated with multiple factors such as raised serum total cholesterol, increased ldl, increased platelet aggregation, hypertension and smoking. in-vitro studies have confirmed the ability of some plants of allium species to reduce these parameters. therefore, we evaluated anti-platelet aggregation effect of some allium species (a...

Peroxiredoxins are ubiquitous thiol-specific proteins that have multiple functions in stress protection, including protection against oxidative stress. Tsa1 is the major yeast peroxiredoxin and we show that it functions as a specific antioxidant to protect the cell against the oxidative stress caused by nascent-protein misfolding and aggregation. Yeast mutants lacking TSA1 are sensitive to misf...

This paper proposes a secure encrypted-data aggregation scheme for wireless sensor networks. Our design for data aggregation eliminates redundant sensor readings without using encryption and maintains data secrecy and privacy during transmission. Conventional aggregation functions operate when readings are received in plaintext. If readings are encrypted, aggregation requires decryption creatin...

Concave properties play a dominate role in solving both classic and fuzzy optimization problems. However, since fuzzy problems are generally represented by sets, not crisp numbers, various aggregation schemes are needed to manipulate and to combine the different elements in a fuzzy optimization problem. Based on these different aggregations, various concavity properties can be formulated and ex...

background and objective: nitric oxide (no) plays a role in thermoregulation and growth of protozoa. this work aimed to add the molecule no in physiology of protozoa in contact with abused narcotic substances. materials and methods: a sedative drug, morphine, was infused into a cell chamber containing paramecia . the cell response to the drug was recorded promptly after drug infusion using a po...

energy consumption is considered as a critical issue in wireless sensor networks (wsns). batteries of sensor nodes have limited power supply which in turn limits services and applications that can be supported by them. an efcient solution to improve energy consumption and even trafc in wsns is data aggregation (da) that can reduce the number of transmissions. two main challenges for da are: (i)...

background since genetic and most environmental factors shape the context of families, some studies have been initiated to investigate the role of familial relationships in metabolic syndrome (mets). objectives to estimate the familial aggregation of mets and its components by identifying both case and control probands among tehranian adults with different socio-behavioral and reproductive char...
