We propose a model of TeV-scale resonant leptogenesis based upon recent models of the generation of light neutrino masses from supersymmetry-breaking effects with TeV-scale right-handed (rhd) neutrinos, Ni. The model leads to large cosmological lepton asymmetries via the resonant behaviour of the one-loop self-energy contribution to Ni decay. Our model addresses the primary problems of previous...

In this paper, we are going to have a survey on one of data hiding techniques called "Reversible Data Hiding (RDH)". Due to this, basic principles and notions of RHD are introduced. Also, primary techniques as the principles of RHD are talked. They are: Pair-Wise Logical Computation (PWLC) data hiding technique and Data Hiding by Template ranking with symmetrical Central pixels (DHTC) technique...

The incidence of rheumatic fever (RF) has markedly increased in the last 10 years in Kyrgyzstan. Therefore, investigating the prevalence of group A β-hemolytic streptococcus (GABHS), which is the cause of RF, in the Kyrgyzstan population is crucial. We studied 189 subjects: 59 children [29 with RF and/or rheumatic heart disease (RHD)] and 130 adults (15 with RHD). The average age of the subject...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES There are no active surveillance studies reported from South East Asian Region to document the impact of change in socio-economic state on the prevalence of rheumatic fever/rheumatic heart disease (RF/RHD) in children. Therefore, we conducted a study to determine the epidemiological trends of RF/RHD in school children of Shimla city and adjoining suburbs in north India a...

BACKGROUND: Various investigators suggest that some discourse-level comprehension difficulties in adults with right hemisphere brain damage (RHD) have a lexical-semantic basis. As words are processed, the intact right hemisphere arouses and sustains activation of a wide-ranging network of secondary or peripheral meanings and features-a phenomenon dubbed "coarse coding". Coarse coding impairment...

The static random-access memory (SRAM) cells used in the high radiation environment of aerospace have become highly vulnerable to single-event effects (SEE). Therefore, a 12T SRAM-hardened circuit (RHB-12T cell) for soft error recovery is proposed using hardening design (RHBD) concept. To verify performance RHB-12T, cell simulated by 28 nm CMOS process and compared with other hardened (Quatro-1...

The offspring from pregnancies of women who have developed anti-D blood group antibodies are at risk of hemolytic disease of the newborn. We have previously mapped four peptides containing immunodominant T-helper cell epitopes from the RhD protein and the purpose of the work was to develop these into a product for suppression of established anti-D responses. A panel of each of the four immunodo...

OBJECTIVE To determine the accuracy of the non-invasive pre-natal real-time polymerase chain reaction based fetal RhD genotyping from maternal plasma. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Juma Health Sciences Research Laboratory, The Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from July to December 2008. METHODOLOGY Cell-free plasma DNA from 21 D-negative women with ...

BACKGROUND Pragmatics is appropriate use of language across a variety of social contexts that provides accurate interpretation of intentions. The occurrence of the right hemisphere lesions can interfere with pragmatic abilities, and particularly with the processing of nonliteral speech acts. METHODS Since the objective of this study was to assess different aspects of pragmatic competence in t...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the hemispheric contributions to prosody recognitions and interference effects of semantic processing on prosody for stroke patients by using the Korean language. METHODS Ten right hemisphere damaged patients (RHD), nine left hemisphere damaged patients (LHD), and eleven healthy controls (HC) participated. In pure prosody recognition task, four semantically neutral se...
