human interferon β (inf-β) is a member of cytokines family which different studies have shown its immunomodulatory and antiviral activities. in this study an expression vector was designed and constructed for expression of human inf-β-1b either in shake flasks and bench top bioreactor. the designed vector was constructed based upon pet-25b(+) with t7 promoter. recombinant human beta interferon ...

This thesis introduces a new approach to program representation in genetic programming in which interactions between program components are expressed in terms of a component’s behaviour rather through its relative position within a representation or through other non-behavioural systems of reference. This approach has the advantage that a component’s behaviour is expressed in a way that is inde...

MOTIVATION Regulatory gene networks contain generic modules such as feedback loops that are essential for the regulation of many biological functions. The study of the stochastic mechanisms of gene regulation is instrumental for the understanding of how cells maintain their expression at levels commensurate with their biological role, as well as to engineer gene expression switches of appropria...

Self-ascriptions of mental states, whether in speech or thought, seem to have a unique status. Suppose I make an utterance of the form “I have a terrible headache”. This is a self-ascription of a mental state. It is true or false, depending on whether I am indeed having a terrible headache or not, which is a contingent matter. However, when self-ascriptions like this are made from a first perso...

vicia sativa l., an annual winter growing leguminous plant, is a valuable source of protein and minerals for cattle. drought is one of the key stress factors that influence plant growth and development. in order to investigate common vetch physiological and molecular responses under normal irrigation (n) and two levels of drought stress [s1= 30% and s2= 10% field capacity (fc)], a greenhouse exp...

In this paper, we examine the educative significance of YouTube as a space self-expression for transgender and non-binary youth without being hindered by pervasive cisnormative cisgenderist ...

graffiti as one of the social phenomenon has a very long record. however, the graffiti in modern civilization has been put forth as a media. in this article, efforts have been made to study the graffiti from the linguistic perspective. in this research, 2929 graffiti from different districts in the north, south, east, west and center of tehran have been registered and then extracted and analyze...

miRNAs play critical roles in the regulation of gene expression with two major functions: degrading mRNA in a sequence specific manner or repressing its translation. Publicly available data sets on miRNA and mRNA expression in embryonal and induced stem cells, human tissues and solid tumors are analyzed in this case study using self organizing maps (SOM) to characterize miRNA expression landsca...

Brands provide a means for consumers to present the self, expressing their inner selves (the ‘real me’), or social (how others see me). With rise in media use, academics and practitioners seek understand how consumers’ self-expression through following brands online leads brand outcomes. This study investigates self-expressiveness of as separate antecedents two outcomes: intention co-create val...

PRIMe (http://prime.psc.riken.jp/), the Platform for RIKEN Metabolomics, is a Web site that has been designed and implemented to support research and analysis workflows ranging from metabolome to transcriptome analysis. The site provides access to a growing collection of standardized measurements of metabolites obtained by using NMR, GC-MS, LC-MS, and CE-MS, and metabolomics tools that support ...
