Brucellosis is primarily a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by Brucella species. The genus Brucella contains highly infectious species that are classified as biological threat agents. In this regard, the identification of Brucella can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process posing a real risk of laboratory-acquired infection to the laboratory staff. This stud...

Fix a∈Z, a∉{0,±1}. A simple argument shows that for each ϵ>0, and almost all (asymptotically 100% of) primes p, the multiplicative order of a modulo p exceeds p12−ϵ. It is an open problem to show same result with 12 replaced by any larger constant. We if a,b are multiplicatively independent, then one a,b,ab,a2b,ab2 has exceeding p12+130. The method allows produce, explicit finite sets property ...

The effective detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is considerably important for the clinical diagnosis both early pregnancy and nonpregnancy-related diseases. In this work, a simple sensitive electrochemical sandwich-type immunosensing platform was designed by synthesizing b-cyclodextrin (CD) functionalized graphene (CD/GN) hybrid as simultaneously sensing signal transducer coupled ...

A novel well-defined linear poly(ε-caprolactone) (P1) containing terminal azobenzene and ethyne groups was successfully synthesized through tin-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone in the presence of N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-(3ethynylphenylazo)aniline (BHA) in bulk. Subsequent reactions allowed the synthesis of the corresponding bromoester end-functionalized polymer (P2), w...

A sensitive and specific immunoassay method for detecting α-fetoprotein (AFP) based on electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) was described. ECL could perform detection for a series of different concentrations of AFP. CdSe quantum dots (QDs) were used as labels and were linked to AFP antibody (anti-AFP, the secondary antibody, Ab2*). Immunoassay was carried out on a modified electrode using a...

AB multiplication over GF(2) is an essential operation in modular exponentiation, which is the basic computation for most public key crypto systems. The current paper presents a new architecture that can perform AB multiplication over GF(2) in m clock cycles using a cellular automata. Since cellular automata architecture is simple, regular, modular, and cascadable, it can be utilized efficientl...
