In this paper we present a novel extended formulation for the line planning problem that is based on what we call “configurations” of lines and frequencies. Configurations account for all possible options to provide a required transportation capacity on an infrastructure edge. The proposed configuration model is strong in the sense that it implies several facet-defining inequalities for the sta...

Determining that miRNAs play a role in breast cancer pathogenesis suggests it may be useful the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In this study, 39 patients with invasive were diagnosed serum levels 20 miRNAs(miR-105, miR-21, miR-141, miR-200a, miR-200b, miR-200c, miR-203, miR-210, miR-375, miR-34a, miR-133a, miR-155, miR-139-5p, miR-143, miR-145, miR-365, miR-299-5p, miR-411, miR-452, miR-17)...

The continued growth of MIR is motivating more complex annotation data, consisting of richer information, multiple annotations for a given task, and multiple tasks for a given music signal. In this work, we propose JAMS, a JSON-based music annotation format capable of addressing the evolving research requirements of the community, based on the three core principles of simplicity, structure and ...

Microblogging services, such as Twitter, have risen enormously in popularity during the past years. Despite their popularity, such services have never been analyzed for MIR purposes, to the best of our knowledge. We hence present first investigations of the usability of music artist-related microblogging posts to perform artist labeling and similarity estimation tasks. To this end, we look into...

background: early detection is a key to survival for gastric cancer. molecular markers such as mirna (microrna) can have great importance in the early diagnosis of gastric cancer. expression of mir-21 and mir-221 are deregulated in many types of human cancers. this study aimed to investigate the differences in mirna expression patterns within the iranian population. methods: total rna was extra...

conclusions the identified expression profiles of some examined mirnas might offer important points to consider for the treatment of naive patients and the management of chronically infected hcv patients in egypt and around the world. results our results revealed differential expression levels of the analyzed mirnas compared to the normal controls. twenty-seven mirnas (including mir-105, mir-14...

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most prevalent cancers with a high rate of mortality in the world. In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been proposed to be involved in GC development. In this study, we aimed at investigating differential expression level of miR-155-5p, miR-15a, miR-15b, and miR-186 in GC. Methods: For this research, we used qPCR to investigate miR-15b, miR-155...
