Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are lifelong developmental disabilities. This group of disorders includes autistic disorder, Asperger syndrome, and pervasive developmental delay not otherwise specified. These disorders are presented from birth or very early during development and affect essential human behaviors such as social interaction, the ability to communicate ideas and feelings, imagina...

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a fatal malignancy that accounts for 10-25% of primary hepatobiliary cancers (Anderson et al., 2012). Although the incidence was only 0.58-0.88 per 100,000 people in the USA, some particular endemic areas in Southeast Asia, especially northeastern Thailand, reported incidences as high as 39.4 and 94.8 per 100,000 people for females and males, respectively (Ruys et al...

motivated by samet et al. [nonlinear anal., 75(4) (2012), 2154-2165], we introduce the notions of $alpha$-$phi$-fuzzy contractive mapping and $beta$-$psi$-fuzzy contractive mapping and prove two theorems which ensure the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point for these two types of mappings. the presented theorems extend, generalize and improve the corresponding results given in the literature.

Dynamic microtubule plus ends interact with various intracellular target regions such as the cell cortex and the kinetochore. Two conserved families of microtubule plus-end tracking proteins, XMAP215/TOG and EB1, play pivotal roles in regulating microtubule dynamics. Here we study the functional interplay between fission yeast Dis1/XMAP215 and Mal3/EB1. Using an in vitro microscopy assay, we fi...

I enjoyed reading the manuscript titled “Hooch blindness: a community study report on a few indoor patients of toxic optic neuropathy following consumption of adulterated alcohol in West Bengal” that has been published in your journal (Samanta et al, 2012). The authors reported ten cases of blindness due to methanol intoxication in West Bengal, India. After presentation of their patients’ histo...

lineage-specific properties among expanded sea urchin TLRs. Their findings indicate that: (1) some antigen binding sites may be coevolving with variable ligands, (2) TLR subfamilies are utilized differently between larval and adult coelomocytes, and (3) sea urchin TLRs most likely represent immune surveillance molecules. Satake and Sekiguchi (2012) review the evolution and functional diversific...

Papillary thyroid cancer or papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer that is account for 80-90% of all thyroid cancer cases (Kimura et al., 2003; Xing et al., 2005; Yoon et al., 2013). This thyroid cancer is occasionally occurs in women aged 30-40 years old and it is also prevalent in children and patients whose exposed to radiation in head and neck area. These types ...

In this paper we prove an analogue of Banach and Kannan fixed point theorems by generalizing the Lipschitz constat $k$, in generalized Lipschitz mapping on cone metric space over Banach algebra, which are answers for the open problems proposed by Sastry et al, [K. P. R. Sastry, G. A. Naidu, T. Bakeshie, Fixed point theorems in cone metric spaces with Banach algebra cones, Int. J. of Math. Sci. ...
