In this work, a problem of DNA sequencing by hybridization (SBH) with isothermic libraries, is considered. The classical approach to SBH uses sets of oligonucleotides of equal lengths [1, 2, 8, 10, 6, 9, 7]. In isothermic SBH approach new sets of oligonucleotides are used. The library cosists of oligonucleotides with the same melting temperature but different lengths [3, 4]. Every nucleotide ad...

Hawking radiation is viewed as a tunnelling process. In this way the effect of selfgravitation gives rise to semiclassical corrections to the entropy of the (2 + 1) BTZ black hole. The modified entropy, due to specific modelling of the self-gravitation effect, of the (2 + 1) BTZ black hole is evaluated. To first order in ω which is a shell of energy radiated outwards the event horizon of the BT...

We report a case of a girl who presented with typical absence seizures at age of 4.5 years. EEG showed absence seizures of sudden onset with 3 Hz spike-and-waves that also correlated with the clinical absences. The seizure semiology included subtle deviation of the eyes which prompted MRI investigation of the brain. This showed a periventricular nodular heterotopia in the mid to anterior horn o...

brain-computer interfaces (bci) record brain signals, analyze and translate them into control commands which are relayed to output devices that carry out desired actions. these systems do not use normal neuromuscular output pathways. actually, the principal goal of bci systems is to provide better life style for physically-challenged people which are suffered from cerebral palsy, amyotrophic la...

Gray matter heterotopia can be divided into three categories based on the neuroanatomic distribution of misplaced neuronal precursor cells: periventricular (subependymal), subcortical, and band heterotopia (double cortex syndrome).1 In subcortical heterotopia, ectopic tissue extends in a curvilinear course from the ventricle wall to the cerebral cortex; in band heterotopia, the ectopic neurons ...

X linked lissencephaly and subcortical band heterotopia (XLIS/SBH) is a disorder of cortical development, which causes classical lissencephaly with severe mental retardation and epilepsy in hemizygous males and SBH associated with milder mental retardation and epilepsy in heterozygous females. Here we report the fine mapping of a breakpoint involved in a de novo X;autosomal balanced translocati...

Background Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder of the brain characterized by periods of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. We aimed to evaluate the role of MRI of the brain in children with ADHD. Materials and Methods This prospective study included 100 children with clinical diagnosis of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder according to the...

This paper introduces the functioning principle as well as dimensioning elements of a new active solar heating system using air as heat carrier. The air is heated in flat-plate collectors and then circulated through the building walls having circulation “hollows”. The heat storage function is performed by a rockbed storage unit. The solar collectors have water-air double service and supply the ...
