Background: A licensed vaccine against hepatitis C virus (HCV) has not become available to date. The stability and antigenicity of a targeted synthesized recombinant fusion protein consisting of a truncated core and NS3 (rC/N) of HCV had been predicted. Although safe antigens, recombinant proteins are not efficacious vaccines without adjuvants. The present study evaluated the immunogenicity of ...

First, this paper presents a new methodology for determining the comprehensive weights of attributes under the intervalvalued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) environment based on some method for determining the subject and objective attribute weights. Second, based on the concept of the grey relative closeness coefficients, a pair of fractional programming models is constructed. This model can be u...

The spectral closeness of a graph G is defined as the radius matrix , whose ( u v )-entry for vertex and 2 − d u,v ) if ≠ 0 otherwise, where distance between in . residual nontrivial minimum subgraphs with one deleted. We propose local grafting operations that decrease or increase determine those graphs uniquely minimize and/or maximize some families graphs. also discuss extremal properties clo...

Through theory and numerical simulations in an axisymmetric geometry, we examine evolution of a symmetric intrusion released from a cylindrical lock in stratified fluid as it depends upon the ambient interface thickness, h, and the lock aspect ratio Rc/H, in which Rc is the lock radius and H is the ambient depth. Whereas self-similarity and shallow-water theory predicts that intrusions, once es...

Combination of grammatical roles in relative clauses (RC) is determined by a multitude of factors (Fox and Thompson 1990, Pu 2007, Ming and Chen 2009). This study shows that four factors (discourse functions of RCs, grounding mechanism, information status, and animacy of head nouns) interact with one another to determine which combination is favored in a Chinese discourse. 1. Introduction The p...

in this paper, by introducing two virtual decision-making units (dmus) called ideal dmu (idmu) and anti-ideal dmu (admu) with fuzzy inputs-outputs, the efficiency evaluation of dmus are done by fuzzy data envelopment analysis (fdea). therefore, we evaluate dmus from the perspective of the best and worst possible relative efficiency. for each dmu two efficiencies are calculated while inputs and ...

This paper presents results from a production experiment in Hindi, showing that differences in attachment site of object relative clauses result in prosodic differences when the antecedent of the relative clause (RC) is part of a complex NP with the structure N1 of N2. In particular, based on duration and F0 data we argue that the phrasing in a matrix sentence encodes the attachment site of the...

1. RECAPITULATION Part I of this article treats tense in relative clauses (RCs) in English, Russian and Japanese. The temporal centre in RCs can always be Tproi, and sometimes it has to be Tproi. 1. In SOT languages such as English, the Tense in the RC is bound in RC\wollconfigurations, i.e., we find a Tproi bound by woll. The licensing of the morphological tense in the RC is non-local in these...
