The primate visual system is broadly organized into two segregated processing pathways, a ventral stream for object vision and a dorsal stream for space vision. Here, evidence from functional brain imaging in humans demonstrates that object representations are not confined to the ventral pathway, but can also be found in several areas along the dorsal pathway. In both streams, areas at intermed...

Fuzzy C-means (FCM) is an unsupervised clustering technique that is often used for the unsuper-vised segmentation of multivariate images. In traditional FCM the clustering is based on spectral information only and the geometrical relationship between neighbouring pixels is not used in the clustering procedure. In this paper, the spatially guided FCM (SG-FCM) algorithm is presented which segment...

A bstract In this paper, we initiate the study of 2d F-theory landscape based on compact elliptic Calabi-Yau fivefolds. particular, determine boundary models using fivefolds with largest known Hodge numbers h 1 , and 4 . The former gives rise to geometric gauge group in currently (0,2) supergravity landscape, which is $$ {E}_8^{482\;632\;421}\times {F}_4^{3\;224\;195\;728}\times {G}_2^{11\;927\...

In this paper, we present a near-collision attack on the compression functions of Dynamic SHA2 for all the output sizes. For the Dynamic SHA2-224/256, the complexity is about 2 operations and for the Dynamic SHA2-384/512, the complexity is about 2. 1 Description of Dynamic SHA2 The Dynamic SHA-2 [1] is an iteration cryptographic hash function family which is built with the design components fro...

Cervical cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women from developing countries. Identification of novel prognostic predictors or therapeutic targets may improve patient prognosis. In the current study, we demonstrated by real-time PCR that miR-224 expression was significantly upregulated (1.82-fold, P = 0.0025) in cervical cancer tissues (n = 126) compared with in normal c...

The following abbreviations have been used: UDPG, uridine diphosphate glucose; ATP, adenosine triphosphate; DPN, diphosphopyridine nucleotide; TPN, triphosphopyridine nucleotide; CoA, coenzyme A; EDTA, ...

The metastatic spread of tumor cells is the major risk factor affecting the clinical prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. The metastatic phenotype can be modulated by dysregulating the synthesis of different structural and functional proteins of tumor cells. Micro(mi)RNAs are noncoding RNAs that recognize their cognate messenger (m)RNA targets by sequence-specific interactions with th...

To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of vitexicarpin on biological behavior colorectal cancer cells is objective study. The human epithelial cell line Caco-2 were divided into control group, low, middle high dose groups vitexicarpin, plasmid cloning DNA-circ_0000419 DNA anti-microRNA-224 anti-microRNA-224-negative vitexicarpin+small interfering-circ_0000419 group vitexicarpin+micro...
