Extension of Structural Watermarks Based on Balanced Incomplete Block Designs
Large number of watermarks is crucial for some real watermarking applications, such as transaction tracking. The purpose of this paper is to enlarge the set of structured watermarks based on balanced incomplete block designs (BIBD). An approach is proposed to generate new structured watermarks by combining existing BIBD-based watermarks. The corresponding recognition rules for the new set of wa...
متن کاملP-244: Analysis of Genomic and Cell Free DNA of A let-7 microRNA Binding Site of KRAS Gene Polymorphisms in Endometriosis
Background: Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological diseases which is characterized by endometriallike tissue growing outside the uterine cavity. Although the pathology of endometriosis remains unknown, the genetic predisposition plays an apparent role. Several genes have been contributed to endometriosis, but it seems KRAS has a crucial role, because its activation results...
متن کاملThe frequency of CCR5 promoter polymorphisms and CCR5 32 mutation in Iranian populations
Evidence showed that chemokines serve as pro-migratory factors for immune cells. CCL3, CCL4 and CCL5, as the main CC chemokines subfamily members, activate immune cells through binding to CC chemokine receptor 5 or CCR5. Macrophages, NK cells and T lymphocytes express CCR5 and thus, affected CCR5 expression or functions could be associated with altered immune responses. Deletion of 32 base pai...
متن کاملVascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production is Regulated by Gene Polymorphisms
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a key role in angiogene-sis and in transplantation. The level of VEGF is related to the differences in the DNA sequence of its promoter region. Objectives: In this study, the association between the combination of VEGF –1154 G and –2578 C alleles and VEGF production by LPS-stimulated PBMCs was investigated. In addition; the relationship ...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity and Drug Resistance of Helicobacter pylori Strains in Isfahan, Iran
Objective(s) Resistance to antimicrobial agents, particularly metronidazole and clarithromycin, is frequently observed in Helicobacter pylori and may be associated with treatment failure. This resistance rate varies according to the population studied. The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of antimicrobial resistance of H. pylori isolates from dyspeptic patients in Isfahan. Material...
