HIV resistance to antiretroviral agents is a major contributory cause of treatment failure. The dynamics of HIV replication, together with patient-, physician-, and drug-related factors, lead to emergence of HIV resistant strains in most of the patients. Phenotypic assays look for an increase in the antiretroviral drug (ARV) concentration that inhibits 50% of the growth of the tested HIV strain...

Errors and noise in quantum computing arise from the coupling of our computing system (e.g., a collection of qubits) to an " environment " that we cannot fully control or observe. This coupling leads to open quantum system dynamics and in the last couple of lectures you've seen three different ways in which we model such dynamics: 1. Specify the Hamiltonian for the entire setup including system...

objective(s): to explore the correlation between expression patterns and functions of mir-383 and ldha in hepatocellular cancer (hcc). materials and methods: we detected the expression of mir-383 and ldha in 30 hcc tissues and their matched adjacent normal tissues using qrt-pcr. then we performed mtt assay, foci formation assay, transwell migration assay, glucose uptake assay and lactate produc...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein-coding genes by partially binding to specific target sites of mRNAs. miRNAs perform important functions in complicated cellular biological processes and their abnormal expression is involved in various disorders, including cancer. Among the miRNAs, differential expression of miR-139-5p serves a significant role...

We describe a large-scale and complete experiment aiming at validating the hypothesis that the popularity of music titles can be learnt using global acoustic or human features. We use a 32.000 title database with 632 manually-entered attributes per titles including 3 related to the popularity of the title. We design an experiment with two different audio feature sets, as well as the set of all ...
