Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is currently the method of choice for malignancy prediction in thyroid nodules. Nevertheless, in some cases the interpretation of FNAC results may be problematic due to limitations of the method. The expression level of some microRNAs changes with the development of thyroid tumors, and its quantitation can be used to refine the FNAC results. For this quant...

The concept of a framed vertex operator algebra (FVOA) is new (cf. [DGH]). This article contributes to this theory with a full analysis of all Virasoro frame stabilizers in V , the important example of the E8 level 1 affine Kac-Moody VOA, which is isomorphic to the lattice VOA for the root lattice of E8(C). We analyze the frame stabilizers, both as abstract groups and as subgroups of Aut(V ) ∼=...

Background: The evolving paradigm shift towards the molecular characterization of melanoma has expanded to include studies of microRNA (miRNA) expression. As miR-16 has been utilized as a normalizer in serum-based miRNA studies in several cancers, we evaluated miR-16 expression as a potential reference for normalization of serum miRNA expression in melanoma patients. Methods: 143 primary cutane...

INTRODUCTION Canines are the principal domestic reservoirs of visceral leishmaniasis in both the Old and New World. The development of highly sensitive and quantitative methods, such as real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for measurement of canine cytokines has not been exploited in studies of visceral leishmaniasis. OBJECTIVE To standardize the relative quantification o...

This paper presents the task of normalizing Vietnamese transcribed texts in Speech-to-Text (STT) systems. The main purpose is to develop a text normalizer that automatically converts proper nouns and other context-specific formatting transcription such as dates, time, numbers into their appropriate expressions. To this end, we propose solution exploits deep neural networks with rich features fo...

In 1963 Gasch utz proved the existence in nite solvable groups of certain characteristic conjugacy classes of subgroups associated with formations. His initial work in 6] has developed into an extensive theory. In this paper we introduce a new approach to this theory and theoretical results that yield practical methods to compute formation theoretic subgroups such as F-normalizers and F-coverin...
