background: metastasis is one the most leading cause of death from cancer. the chemokine receptor of cxcr4 has an important role in cell migration and cancer metastasis. additionally, metastasis is always associated with the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (emt). in this study the correlation between expression of cxcr4 and emt-tfs has been examined. methods: the expression of cxcr...

Tao Huang1,2∗ and Xing-Gang Wu2† CCAST(World Laboratory), P.O.Box 8730, Beijing 100080, P.R.China, Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, P.O.Box 918(4), Beijing 100049, China.‡ Abstract A model for the twist-3 wave function ψp(x,k⊥) of the pion has been constructed based on the moment calculation by applying the QCD sum rules, whose distribution amplitude has a better e...

Documents go through numerous transformations and intermediate formats as they are processed from abstract markup into final printable form. This notion of a document workflow is well established but it is common to find that ideas about document components, which might exist in the source code for the document, become completely lost within an amorphous, unstructured, page of PDF prior to bein...

background: proper rotation of components in total knee arthroplasty (tka) will largely affect the postoperative outcome. ethnical variation may affect rotational profile. we aimed to evaluate distal femur rotation in iranian population using transepicondylar axes.   methods : from a total of 450 knee ct scans and via consecutive sampling, 150 qualified subjects with normal lower extremities al...

Ab initio calculation at HF/6-31G* level of theory for geometry optimization and MP2/6-31G*//HF/6-31G* for a single point total energy calculation are reported for the important energyminimumconformations and transition-state geometries of of cyclodeca-1,2,3-triene (1). The mostfavorable conformation of 1 is a unsymmetrical twist-chair (1-TC) structure. Degenerateinterconversion of 1-TC with it...

This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of Tricept parallel manipulator. Observing that cuboid workspaces are desirable for most machines, we use the concept of effective inscribed cuboid workspace, which reflects requirements on the workspace shape, volume and quality, simultaneously. The effectiveness of a workspace is characterized by the dexterity of the manip...

This paper presents, a hybrid method, low-resolution and high-resolution, for Persian page segmentation. In the low-resolution page segmentation, a pyramidal image structure is constructed for multiscale analysis and segments document image to a set of regions. By high-resolution page segmentation, by connected components analysis, each region is segmented to homogeneous regions and identifyi...
