The effects of varying doses of three polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 3-methylcholanthrene (MCA), benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), and benzo(e)pyrene (BeP), on cell-mediated immune func tions of in vivo mitogen-activated splenic lymphocytes were measured. Inbred mice (C57, C3H, and DBA) were given injec tions i.p. with phytohemagglutinin to activate splenic lympho cytes and were subsequently treated, vi...

AB STRACT: The pur pose of this study was to eval u ate, in vi tro, the prop er ties (wear and rough ness) of glass ionomer ce ments that could in flu ence their in di ca tion as pit and fis sure seal ants. The uti lized ma te ri als were Fuji Plus, Ketac-Mo lar and Vitremer (in two dif fer ent pro por tions: 1:1 and 1⁄4:1). The resin-based seal ant Delton was used as con trol. By means of an e...

Korean Combinatory Categorial Grammar(K-CCG) is an extended combinatory categorial formalism that can capture the syntax and interpretation of \relative free" word order in Korean. The approach we develop takes the advantages of CCG ability of type raising and composition along with our previous ECGG1]]2] ability of variable categories and unordered argument modeling for relatively free word or...

The research re ected in this dissertation is a study of computational pseudo randomness More speci cally the main objective of this research is the e cient and simple construction of pseudo random functions and permutations where e ciency refers both to the sequential and parallel time complexity of the computation Pseudo random functions and permutations are fundamental cryptographic primitiv...

omotopy analysis method (HAM) is a promising method for handling func-tional equations. Recent publications proved the eectiveness of HAM in solvingwide variety of problems in dierent elds. HAM has a unique property whichmakes it superior to other analytic methods, this property is its ability to con-trol the convergence region of the solution series. In this work, we claried theadvantages and ...

BD-Func (BiDirectional FUNCtional enrichment) is an algorithm that calculates functional enrichment by comparing lists of pre-defined genes that are known to be activated versus inhibited in a pathway or by a regulatory molecule. This paper shows that BD-Func can correctly predict cell line alternations and patient characteristics with accuracy comparable to popular algorithms, with a significa...

there are several theorical results about order statistics and copulas in the literature that have  been mentioned also by nelsen cite{p20}. the present study after reviewing some of these results, relies on  simulation technique to investigate the mentioned results about order statistics and copulas. the study concentrates on two well known archimedean gumbel and frank families in the case tha...
