Let G be a Carnot group. We study nonlocal diffusion equations in domain $$\Omega$$ of the form $$\begin{aligned} u_t^\epsilon (x,t)=\int _{G}\frac{1}{\epsilon ^2}K_{\epsilon }(x,y)(u^\epsilon (y,t)-u^\epsilon (x,t))\,dy, \qquad x\in \Omega \end{aligned}$$ with $$u^\epsilon =g(x,t)$$ for $$x\notin \Omega$$ . For an appropriated rescaled kernel $$K_\epsilon$$ , we apply Taylor series development...

Expression of the Fc receptor for IgE (Fc epsilon R) was analyzed on alveolar macrophages (AM) in 10 patients with extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) compared with 10 patients with sarcoidosis and to 6 apparently healthy controls. By using the anti-Fc epsilon RII mAb M-L25 in immunocytochemistry experiments, we found that greater than 60% of AM in 10 of 10 patients with EAA were strongly posit...

The human apolipoprotein (apo) E gene is polymorphic, with three common alleles (epsilon 2, epsilon 3, epsilon 4) coding for three isoforms (E2, E3, E4). The isoforms differ from each other by a single amino acid substitution, and also differ in their binding affinity for the four apo E receptors. Apo E polymorphism is an important determinant of risk for the development of cardiovascular and A...

Differential privacy is achieved by the introduction of Laplacian noise in the response to a query, establishing a precise trade-off between the level of differential privacy and the accuracy of the database response (via the amount of noise introduced). However, the amount of noise to add is typically defined through the scale parameter of the Laplace distribution, whose use may not be so intu...

The initiation of reverse transcription and nucleocapsid assembly in hepatitis B virus (HBV) depends on the specific recognition of an RNA signal (the packaging signal, epsilon) on the pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) by the viral reverse transcriptase (RT). RT-epsilon interaction in the duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) was recently shown to require the molecular chaperone complex, the heat shock protein 90...

BACKGROUND The apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon 4 allele is a marker of adverse outcome following head injury and intracerebral hemorrhage. Transgenic animal data in a focal cerebral ischemia model suggest that the epsilon 4 allele increases infarct size and functional impairment. OBJECTIVE To determine if APOE genotype is associated with functional recovery from ischemic stroke. DESIGN Pros...

the objective of this study is to examine the effect of mispricing on firm’s investment behavior and capital structure. it also tests the role of the level of financial constraints in the relationship between mispricing , investment and capital structure. using data of 110 firms of tehran stock exchang from 1384-1389, results indicated that mispricing has negative impact to firms investment. ho...

This paper considers the problem of minimizing make-span and maximum tardiness simultaneously for scheduling jobs under non-identical job sizes, dynamic job arrivals, incompatible job families,and sequence-dependentfamily setup time on the single batch- processor, where split size of jobs is allowed between batches. At first, a new Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model is proposed for t...

In 2005, Exoo posed the following question. Fix $\epsilon$ with $0\leq\epsilon<1$. Let $G_\epsilon$ be graph whose vertex set is Euclidean plane, where two vertices are adjacent iff distance between them lies in closed interval $[1-\epsilon,1+\epsilon]$. What chromatic number $\chi(G_\epsilon)$ of this graph? The case $\epsilon=0$ precisely classical ``chromatic plane'' problem. a 2018 p...

PURPOSE To investigate the concentrations of Fc epsilon receptor I (Fc epsilon RI)-bindable immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the tear fluid and the proportion of IgE-saturated cells among Fc epsilon RI-positive cells in giant papillae from vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) patients. METHODS The tear fluids and giant papillae were obtained from 8 VKC patients with their informed consent. To detect th...
