BACKGROUND The issue of a possible malignant transformation in the lesions like epithelial dysplasia and oral lichen planus (OLP) is a matter of serious controversy. The purpose of this study was to suggest the malignant transformation rate in OLP and oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) by using immunohistochemical expression of the tumor markers Ki-67, p53, BCL-2, and BAX. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are widely recognized for their environmentally friendly attributes and superior performance. They offer considerable potential managing energy in low-voltage distribution networks through the use of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) grid-to-vehicle (G2V) technologies. This article provides a detailed investigation into management using combination EVs, solar photovoltaic (PV), dies...

background:   materials and methods: this was a cross-sectional study carried out among 70 samples, including 10 samples from normal healthy mucosa categorized into group 1, group 2 (30 olp), and group 3 (30 oed) samples. five sections (4 μm thick) were obtained and stained with monoclonal antibodies such as ki-67, p53, bcl-2, and bax and analyzed for number of positive cells and also for inten...

We address the solution of large-scale Bayesian optimal experimental design (OED) problems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) with infinite-dimensional parameter fields. The OED problem seeks to find sensor locations that maximize expected information gain (EIG) in underlying inverse problem. Computation EIG is usually prohibitive for PDE-based problems. To make evaluation tracta...

With the wide-spread application of process models and simulators, estimation of model parameters becomes a crucial project. In chemical industry the processes are mostly highly non-linear which makes the identification of model parameters difficult. In the practice the process simulators are not just for design but optimization of operating plants in numerous cases various sets of process data...

SUMMARY SensSB (Sensitivity Analysis for Systems Biology) is an easy to use, MATLAB-based software toolbox, which integrates several local and global sensitivity methods that can be applied to a wide variety of biological models. In addition to addressing the sensitivity analysis problem, SensSB aims to cover all the steps involved during the modeling process. The main features of SensSB are: (...

Recent advances in objective-based uncertainty quantification (objective-UQ) have shown that such a goal-driven approach for quantifying model is extremely useful real-world problems aim at achieving specific objectives based on complex uncertain systems. Central to this objective-UQ the concept of mean objective cost (MOCU), which provides effective means impact operational goals hand. MOCU es...

The interaction of implantation-induced dislocation loops and interstitials in silicon is studied. Experiments under dry oxidation conditions consistently show a significant reduction of OED (oxidation enhanced diffusion) of boron in a buried layer due to very efficient interstitial capturing action of dislocation loops, suggesting diffusion-limited dislocation loop growth. Simple analytic solu...

In this letter, we show the ability, through introduction of a thin Si12x2yGexCy layer, to eliminate the enhancement of enhanced boron diffusion in silicon due to an oxidizing surface or ion implant damage. This reduction of diffusion is accomplished through a low-temperature-grown thin epitaxial Si12x2yGexCy layer which completely filters out excess interstitials introduced by oxidation or ion...
