in this study, we report a mutation in cybb gene in a patient with x-cgd (diagnosed on the base of family history, ndt test, dhr 123 assay). mutation in cybb gene was detected using sscp analysis (single-strand conformation polymorphism) followed by sequencing. during screening for mutations in the cybb gene we observed 880 c t in exon 8. this mutation resulted in 290 arg stop. we also observed...

Fullerene-C60 (C60) is mainly applied in the aqueous phase by wrapping with water-soluble polymer or by water-solublizing chemical-modification, whereas C60 dissolved in oil is scarcely applied; still less explicable is its toxicity.We dissolved C60 in squalane at near-saturated or higher concentrations (220-500 ppm), named LipoFullerene (LF-SQ),and examined its biological safety. LF-SQ was adm...

knowledge about the clinical significance of v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog b1 ( braf ) mutations in colorectal cancer (crc) is growing. braf encodes a protein kinase involved with intracellular signaling and cell division. the gene product is a downstream effector of kirsten ras 1( kras ) within the ras/raf/mapk cellular signaling pathway. evidence suggests that braf mutations, li...

Smartphones play an important role in the information-communication society and accesses from smartphones to the Internet services increase more and more with the advent of cloud computing. Smartphones have comparatively small displays and it is possible for users to input data through touchscreens. The techniques such as a CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and ...

The Bacterial Evolutionary Algorithm (BEA) is a relatively new type of evolutionary algorithm and shows the typical phenomena of stochastic optimization methods. Two of these phenomena: premature convergence and low convergence speed near the optimum are often in connection with the low genetic diversity of the population. Variation of genetic diversity in the original BEA and in its three para...

“Hackers” have written malicious programs to exploit online services intended for human users. As a result, service providers need a method to tell whether a web site is being accessed by a human or a machine. We expect a parallel scenario as spoken language interfaces become common. In this paper, we describe a Reverse Turing Test (i.e., an algorithm that can distinguish between humans and com...
