introduction:  breast  cancer  is  a  leading  cause  of  death  among  females  throughout  the  world.  currently,  radiologists are able to detect only 75% of breast cancer cases. making use of computer-aided design (cad)  can play an important role in helping radiologists perform more accurate diagnoses.   material and methods: using our hybrid method, the background and the pectoral muscle...

We identified and cloned a cellular mediator of herpes simplex virus (HSV) entry. Hamster and swine cells resistant to viral entry became susceptible upon expression of a human cDNA encoding this protein, designated HVEM (for herpesvirus entry mediator). HVEM was shown to mediate the entry of several wild-type HSV strains of both serotypes. Anti-HVEM antibodies and a soluble hybrid protein cont...

as compared to ksc 704 hybrid with 9.844 t/ha, the maize hybrid, ksc 705(k3640/3 × mo17) produced an average grain yield of 11.120 t/ha over seven locations evaluated in final trials for two consecutive years (2007-8). in advanced yield trials done in 2011, across seven locations, this hybrid performed the highest grain yield, 10.450 t/ha, while ksc 704 produced 8.513 t/ha. in addition to the g...

A cDNA encoding the murine homolog of human nectin-1alpha (also known as poliovirus receptor-related protein 1 [Prr1] and herpesvirus entry protein C [HveC]) was isolated. The protein encoded by this cDNA proved to be 95% identical in sequence to the human protein and to have similar herpesvirus entry activity. Upon expression of the murine cDNA in hamster cells resistant to alphaherpesvirus en...

In order to obtain an adequate description of risk aversion for insuring critical path problem, this paper develops a new class of two-stage minimum risk problems. The first-stage objective function is to minimize the probability of total costs exceeding a predetermined threshold value, while the secondstage objective function is to maximize the insured task durations. For general task duration...

This paper presents a hybrid model for restoring an elided entry word for encyclopedia QA system. In Korean encyclopedia, an entry word is frequently omitted in a sentence. If the QA system uses a sentence without an entry word, it cannot provide a right answer. For resolving this problem, we combine a rule-based approach with Maximum Entropy model to use the merit of each approach. A rule-base...

Hybrid flow-shop or flexible flow shop problems have remained subject of intensive research over several years. Hybrid flow-shop problems overcome one of the limitations of the classical flow-shop model by allowing parallel processors at each stage of task processing. In many papers the assumptions are generally made that there is unlimited storage available between stages and the setup times a...
