Based on an early diagnosis and reversal of the underlying predisposing condition, this patient with subacute presentation of mediastinal zygomycosis was treated successfully with AMB and L-AMB. Along with histoplasmosis and tuberculosis, zygomycosis should be considered in patients with clinical manifestations of chronic mediastinitis and bronchial perforations. H-C. Liu*, M-S. Jan, Y-C. Lin, ...

Chung and Graham began the systematic study of hypergraph quasirandom properties soon after the foundational results of Thomason and Chung-Graham-Wilson on quasirandom graphs. One feature that became apparent in the early work on hypergraph quasirandomness is that properties that are equivalent for graphs are not equivalent for hypergraphs, and thus hypergraphs enjoy a variety of inequivalent q...

METCAM/MUC18, an integral membrane Cell Adhesion Molecule (CAM) in the Ig-like gene super-family, is capable of performing typical functions of CAMs, such as mediating cellcell and cell-extracellular interactions, crosstalk with intracellular signaling pathways, and modulating social behaviors of cells. METCAM/MUC18 is expressed in about nine normal cells/ tissues. Aberrant expression of METCAM...

Ring signcryption is a cryptographic primitive, that allows an user to send a message in confidential, authentic and anonymous way, i.e. the recipient of the message is convinced that the message is valid and it comes from one of the ring member, but does not know the actual sender. In this paper, we show attacks on ring signcryption schemes by Li et al. (Li et al., 2008b) and Chung et al. (Chu...

Recently, Chung published a paper in Expert Systems with Applications providing a correct solution procedure to the inventory system for the replenishment run time problem with machine breakdown and failure in rework in Lin and Chiu 〔2〕. In this short note, we provide a detailed discussion for the convex property in Chiu et al. 〔1〕, Lin and Chiu〔2〕and Chung〔3〕. Moreover, we will put forth an ex...

varieties of st. john’s wort (hypericum perforatum l.) native to iran possess the largest percentage of hypercin in their leaves and flowers. isotherm curves show the relationship between the relative humidity and moisture content of the plant at a constant temperature. it is essential to understand the isotherms curves for successful storage and drying of the plant. this study used adsorption ...
