Following shock breakout, the emission from an astrophysical explosion is dominated by radiation of heated material as it expands and cools, known cooling (SCE). The luminosity SCE proportional to initial radius emitting material, which makes its measurement useful for investigating progenitors these explosions. Recent observations have shown some transient events especially prominent SCE, indi...

Skin cancer has been reported as a contemporary malignant cancer. Here, anti-cancer effects of sea cucumber extract (SCE) from Holothuria arenicola have been examined on melanoma cells and compared with imidazole carboxamide (Dacarbazine) as a chemotherapy medication against melanoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma. MTT assay and morphological analysis were performed to evaluate cytotoxic effects of H. ...

Conserved intervals were introduced as a measure of similarity between genomes whose genes have been shuffled during evolution by genomic rearrangements. In a recent work, we showed how this concept can be integrated to the computation of ancestral gene orders in the context of phylogenetic reconstruction. This report presents the technical details of the related algorithms.

Software cost estimation (SCE) of a project is pivotal to the acceptance or rejection of the development of software project. Various SCE techniques have been in practice with their own strengths and limitations. The latest of these is object-oriented one. Currently object-oriented approach for SCE is based on Line of Code (LOC), function points, functions and classes etc. Relatively less atten...

BLM, the helicase mutated in Bloom syndrome, associates with topoisomerase 3alpha, RMI1 (RecQ-mediated genome instability), and RPA, to form a complex essential for the maintenance of genome stability. Here we report a novel component of the BLM complex, RMI2, which interacts with RMI1 through two oligonucleotide-binding (OB)-fold domains similar to those in RPA. The resulting complex, named RM...

Melanoma has been reported a contemporary malignant cancer. Here, anti-cancer effects of sea cucumber extract (SCE) have been examined on melanoma cells and compared with dacarbazine. MTT assay and morphological analysis were performed to evaluate cytotoxic effects of methanolic SCE Also, several methods were exerted to detect cell dying by SCE and dacarbazine. The MTT assay showed that B16F10 ...

Software Cost Estimation (SCE) is considered one of the most important sections in software engineering that results in capabilities and well-deserved influence on the processes of cost and effort. Two factors of cost and effort in software projects determine the success and failure of projects. The project that will be completed in a certain time and manpower is a successful one and will have ...

[1] An innovative algorithm, shuffled complexes with principal components analysis (SP‐UCI), is developed to overcome a critical deficiency of the shuffled complex evolution scheme: population degeneration. Population degeneration means that, during the evolutionary search process, the population of search particles may degenerate into a subspace of the full parameter space, thereby missing the...

In vitro recombination of homologous genes (family shuffling) has been proposed as an effective search strategy for laboratory evolution of genes and proteins. Few data are available, however, on the composition of shuffled gene libraries, from which one could assess the efficiency of recombination and optimize protocols. Here, probe hybridization is used in a macroarray format to analyze chime...
