The early cytokines production in response to live logarithmic and stationary phase promastigotes of Leishmania major was examined on the peripheral blood cells of the healthy individuals. Whole blood cultures were stimulated by either logarithmic or stationary phase promastigotes. IFN- and IL-10 productions were assessed by specific sandwich ELISA. The results showed that the logarithmic prom...

  Introduction: The process of discriminating among benign and malignant hyperplasia begun with subjective methods using light microscopy and is now being continued with computerized morphometrical analysis requiring some features. One of the main features called Volume Percentage of Stroma (VPS) is obtained by calculating the percentage of stroma texture. Currently, this feature is calculated ...

Homecare, i.e., supportive care provided at the patients’ homes, is established as a prevalent alternative to unnecessary hospitalization or institutional care (e.g., in a rest home or a nursing home). These activities are provided either by healthcare professional or by nonmedical caregivers, depending on the patient’s needs (e.g., medical care or just instrumental activities of daily living)....

This paper considers a constraint-based scheduling approach to the flexible jobshop, a generalization of the traditional jobshop scheduling where activities have a choice of machines. It studies both large neighborhood (LNS) and adaptive randomized decomposition (ARD) schemes, using random, temporal, and machine decompositions. Empirical results on standard benchmarks show that, within 5 minute...

This paper brings to light a method based on Multiphase algorithm for single variable equation using Newton's correction. Newton's method is derived through the logarithmic differentiation of polynomial equation. A correction term which enhances the high speed of convergence is hereby introduced. A translation of Newton's method to Total Step and Single Step Methods (T. S. M and S. S. M) re...

rise in temperature occurred after soil temperature was measured in different time series. in this article, ldf (logarithmic derivative filter) innovative method is applied to detect anomalies. this method tests soil temperature time series for 12 earthquakes in iran with magnitudes of either five or greater than five. results from this method were collected. based on the results of ldf method ...

This technical report describes an improved image mosaicking algorithm. It is based on Jain’s logarithmic search algorithm [Jain and Jain, 1981] which is coupled to the method of Kourogi et al. [1999] for matching images in a video sequence. Logarithmic search has a better invariance against illumination changes than the original optical-flow-based method of Kourogi.
