The common causes of 18p deletion syndrome are spontaneous errors in the chromosomal structure in the early stages of human embryonic development. In this study, a 29-year-old girl was introduced with the features of deletion of chromosome 18. In addition, GTG banding karyotype revealed that this case had a deletion involving the short arm of chromosome 18. In comparison with the usual phenotyp...

objective: interaction between genetic and environmental factors is considered as major factors in schizophrenia (scz). it has been shown that dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission dysfunction play an essential role in the scz pathogenesis. this study aimed to find the impact of functional 19-bp insertion/deletion (ins/del) polymorphism in dopamine beta-hydroxylase (dbh) gene on scz ...

Multicast and broadcast are efficient ways to deliver messages to a group of recipients in a network. Due to the growing security concerns in various applications, messages are often encrypted with a secret group key. The key tree model which has been widely adopted maintains a set of keys in a tree structure so that in case of groupmember change, the group key can be updated in a secure and ef...

Key management represents a major and the most sensitive part of cryptographic systems. It includes key generation, key distribution, key storage, and key deletion. It is also considered the hardest part of cryptography. Designing secure cryptographic algorithms is hard, and keeping the keys secret is much harder. Cryptanalysts usually attack both symmetric and public key cryptosystems through ...

the myelodysplastic syndrome (mds) is a highly heterogenous disorder and karyotype analysis is helpful for diagnostic and prognostic estimation. deletion in long arm chromosome 6 (6q del) as a sole abnormality is a rare event in mds. this is the first case report of del (6q) as the only observed diagnostic change in iran. we also reviewed the literature of this cytogenetic lesion.

Levenshtein introduced the problem of constructing k-deletion correcting codes in 1966, proved that optimal redundancy those is O(k log N) for constant k, and proposed an single-deletion code (using so-called VT construction). However, remained open. Our key contribution a major step towards complete solution to this longstanding open k. We present has 8 klog N + o(log when k = o(?{loglog N}) e...

Broadbent and Islam (TCC '20) proposed a quantum cryptographic primitive called encryption with certified deletion. In this primitive, receiver in possession of ciphertext can generate classical certificate that the encrypted message is deleted. Although their construction information-theoretically secure, it limited to setting one-time symmetric key (SKE), where sender have share common advanc...

Introduction: Gaseous air pollutants can cause oxidative stress, which can lead to lung damage by inducing inflammation. Polymorphisms in the glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including lung disease. Two glutathione S-transferase Mu 1 (GSTM1) and glutathione S-transferase theta 1 (GSTT1) genes belong to this family, in which deletions occur ...
