Modular exponentiation is a cornerstone operation to several public-key cryptography systems such as the RSA. It is performed using successive modular multiplications. The latter is time consuming for large operands. Accelerating public-key cryptography software or hardware needs reducing the total number of modular multiplication needed. This paper introduces a novel idea based on genetic algo...

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is the most frequent cause of drug-induced acute liver failure. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether paeonol protected against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity. Mice treated with paeonol (25, 50, 100 mg/kg) received 400 mg/kg acetaminophen intraperitoneally (i.p.) and hepatotoxicity was assessed. Pre-treatment with paeonol for 6 and 24 h ameliorated APAP...

The T-cell receptor (TCR) and immunoglobulin (Ig) genes are unique among vertebrate genes in that they undergo programmed rearrangement, a process that allows them to generate an enormous array of receptors with different antigen specificities. While crucial for immune function, this rearrangement mechanism is highly error prone, often generating frameshift or nonsense mutations that render the...

OBJECTIVE Obesity is associated with metabolic dysfunction with sex differences and chronic, low-grade inflammation.We proposed that hepatic expression of immune complement C3 related receptors (C3aR, C5aR, and C5L2) would be associated with pre- or postmenopausal status and metabolic profile in severely obese women. We hypothesized that C5L2/C5aR ratio, potentially influencing the ASP/C5L2 met...

We study quantum automorphism groups of graph $C^{\ast }$-algebras without sinks at critical inverse temperature. This is naturally defined to be the universal object in category compact having a linear action sense our pre
