Loss-of-function mutations in Patched (Ptch1) are implicated in constitutive activation of the Sonic hedgehog pathway in human basal cell carcinomas (BCCs), and inherited Ptch1 mutations underlie basal cell nevus syndrome in which a typical feature is multiple BCC occurring with greater incidence in portals of radiotherapy. Mice in which one copy of Ptch1 is inactivated show increased susceptib...

data envelopment analysis (dea) models with interval inputs and outputs have been rarely discussed in dea literature. this paper, using the enhanced russell measurement proposes an extended model which permits the presence of interval scale variables which can take both negative and positive values. the model is compared with most well-known dea models of which include the ccr model, the bcc mo...

BACKGROUND Arborizing vessels (AVs) are dermoscopically defined as telangiectasias with distinct treelike branching, and are a characteristic feature of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). However, AVs are observed in various conditions other than BCC. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate skin diseases showing AV and investigates dermoscopic differences between BCC and non-BCC. METHOD...

The concept of fuzzy multiply positive BCC-ideals of BCC-algebras is introduced, and then some related results are obtained. Moreover, we introduce the concept of T -fuzzy multiply positive implicative BCC-ideals of BCC-algebras and investigate T -product of T -fuzzy multiply positive implicative BCC-ideals of BCC-algebras, examining its properties. Using a t-norm T , the direct product and T -...

Members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) have emerged in recent decades as problematic pulmonary pathogens of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, with severe infections progressing to acute necrotizing pneumonia and sepsis. This study presents evidence that Lemna minor (Common duckweed) is useful as a plant model for the Bcc infectious process, and has potential as a model system for bacter...

We described previously a basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and medulloblastoma (MB) phenotype for CD1Ptch1(neo67/+) mice exposed to ionizing radiation. Ptch1 heterozygous mice mimic the predisposition to BCC and MB development of patients affected by nevoid BCC syndrome that inherit a mutant Patched (Ptch1) allele. To examine the impact of genetic background on development of BCCs and other tumors we...

In recent times, increased attention has been given to evaluating the efficacy of phage therapy, especially in scenarios where the bacterial infectious agent of interest is highly antibiotic resistant. In this regard, phage therapy is especially applicable to infections caused by the Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) since members of the BCC are antibiotic pan-resistant. Current studies in BCC...

This paper presents the application of unconditionally stable fundamental finite-difference time-domain (FADI-FDTD) method in modeling the interaction of terahertz pulse with healthy skin and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The healthy skin and BCC are modeled as Debye dispersive media and the model is incorporated into the FADIFDTD method. Numerical experiments on delineating the BCC margin from h...

In the theory of rings, the properties of derivations are important. In [15], Jun and Xin applied the notion of derivations in ring and near-ring theory to BCI-algebras, and they also introduced a new concept called a regular derivation in BCI-algebras. They investigated some properties of its .In this manuscript, the concept of fuzzy left (right) derivations BCCideals in BCC-algebras is introd...

The problem of quantizing a symplectic manifold (M,ω) can be formulated in terms of the A-model of a complexification of M . This leads to an interesting new perspective on quantization. From this point of view, the Hilbert space obtained by quantization of (M,ω) is the space of (Bcc,B) strings, where Bcc and B′ are two A-branes; B′ is an ordinary Lagrangian A-brane, and Bcc is a space-filling ...
