چکیده
The standard method to purify sperm DNA from vaginal swabs taken from rape victims is to selectively digest the victim’s epithelial cells to solubilize the victim’s DNA, and then separate the soluble DNA from the intact sperm by centrifugation. A different approach to removing the soluble victim’s DNA is to selectively degrade it using a nuclease, DNase I. DNase I reduces the amount of soluble DNA by over 1000-fold, while having virtually no effect on the sperm DNA remaining in the sperm head and inaccessible to the enzyme. Nuclease inactivation and sperm lysis then yield a soluble, pure male DNA fraction. An aliquot of soluble DNA is removed prior to nuclease addition to provide the victim’s fraction. Vaginal swabs taken at defined time points following consensual sex and taken from rape victims were processed using the nuclease method or the standard method and the nuclease method gave superior short tandem repeat profiles.

An Efficient Algorithm for Output Coding in Pal Based Cplds (TECHNICAL NOTE)
One of the approaches used to partition inputs consists in modifying and limiting the input set using an external transcoder. This method is strictly related to output coding. This paper presents an optimal output coding in PAL-based programmable transcoders. The algorithm can be used to implement circuits in PAL-based CPLDs.
متن کاملA Study of Dynamic Characteristics of a Multistory Building Using Ambient Vibration Tests (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Dynamic characteristics of a typical multistory building in Iran have been studied in two different stages of building construction, using ambient vibration tests. Finite element models have also been used to determine these characteristics and to verify test results. The results indicated the agreements and also differences between conventional theoretical models and the behaviour of real stru...

Medial collateral ligament tears usually will be treated through non-surgical methods, but, in some cases such as thosewith tears at the distal insertion where the reduction could be blocked by the pes anserine tendons (Stener-like lesion), surgerywill be performed. Here, we present a surgical technique in such cases. In this retrospective case series, we describesix patients diagnosed with Ste...
