Introduction Systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SoJIA) shows properties of autoinflammatory disease, and requires the presence of arthritis and fever for diagnosis. The proinflammatory proteins MRP8/14 (S100A8/9) and S100A12 are biomarkers which have been shown to detect ongoing subclinical disease activity in patients with clinical remission. We compared the MRP8/14 (S100A8/9) and S...

It is shown that spatial correlation functions measured for correlated photon pairs at the single-photon level correspond to speckle patterns visible at high intensities. This correspondence is observed for the first time in one experimental setup by using different acquisition modes of an intensified CCD camera in low and high intensity regimes. The behavior of intensity auto- and cross-correl...

A key application of clustering data obtained from sources such as microarray, protein mass spectroscopy, and phylogenetic profile is the detection of functionally related genes. Typically, only a small number of functionally related genes cluster into one or more groups, and the rest need to be pruned. For such situations, we present Automated Hierarchical Density Shaving (Auto-HDS), a framewo...

Objective: DM is a major medical problem in developing countries such as Iran. Blood sugar and lipids levels increase in diabetics exacerbates the onset of diabetes mellitus (DM) late complications. Researchers have focused on herbal medicines improve sugar and lipid levels against side decreasing effects and possible inefficacy of chemical drugs. This study has assessed the effect of curcumin ...

1 P.G. Student 1 A.D Patel Institute of Technology, Vallabh Vidhyanagar, India Abstract— The trochoidal drives are widely used in the industry for the constant flow requirements. The design of the lobe profile for positive displacement internal lobe pump (Gerotor) requires MATLAB, Auto-CAD, Solidworks and MasterCAM software. The main objective behind this development of epitrochoid lobe rotor i...

Service-oriented architectures (SOA) and, in particular, Web Services designs are widely adopted for the development of interoperable systems. In a dynamic scenario, a composed service may exploit component services in order to complete its task; composed services are variously distributed, and offered by different providers in different security domains and under different load conditions. So,...

OBJECTIVES Intra-uterine growth retardation is often of unknown origin, and is of great interest as a "Fetal Origin of Adult Disease" has been now well recognized. We built a benchmark based upon a previously analysed data set related to Intrauterine Growth Retardation with 46 subjects described by 14 variables, related with the insulin-like growth factor system and pro-inflammatory cytokines, ...
