a method based on electrical capacitance tomography (ect) and an improved least squares support vector machine (ls-svm) is proposed for void fraction measurement of oil-gas two-phase flow. in the modeling stage, to solve the two problems in ls-svm, pruning skills are employed to make ls-svm sparse and robust; then the real-coded genetic algorithm is introduced to solve the difficult problem of ...

Based on the well-known k-mer model, we propose a k-mer natural vector model for representing a genetic sequence based on the numbers and distributions of k-mers in the sequence. We show that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between a genetic sequence and its associated k-mer natural vector. The k-mer natural vector method can be easily and quickly used to perform phylogenetic analysis ...

objective: autoimmune diseases precede a complex dysregulation of the immune system. t helper17 (th17) and interleukin (il)-17 have central roles in initiation of inflammation and subsequent autoimmune diseases. il-27 significantly controls autoimmune diseases by th17 and il-17 suppression. in the present study we have created genetic engineered mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) that mediate with l...

background genetic manipulation of chloroplast in higher plants offers a number of unique prerogatives, including; undesirable of pleiotropic genome and gene silencing effects and also use as an important agronomic trait for producing essential biomaterials and industrial enzymes. in order to manipulate chloroplast genome, specific vectors are required. these vectors can be transformed and expr...

Brain-Computer interface systems are a new mode of communication which provides a new path between brain and its surrounding by processing EEG signals measured in different mental states.  Therefore, choosing suitable features is demanded for a good BCI communication. In this regard, one of the points to be considered is feature vector dimensionality. We present a method of feature reduction us...

  Genetic typing methods of T. gondii strains have been extensively perfected in recent years. From a technical point of view, many tools usable for genetic studied on single-copy loci have been used: RFLP, PCR-RFLP, sequencing, RAPD-PCR and isoenzyme analysis. We described the cloning and sequence analysis of the gene which encodes the major surface antigen (SAG1 or P30) of T. gondii. SAG1 is ...
