Background: White birch and hazel allergens, namely Bet v1 Cor a1 are known but their allergen specificity is not yet characterized.
 Objective: To map the antigenic determinants responsible for IgE binding utilizing in silico modelling docking of peptides against antibody.
 Methods: The antigen sequences were cut into docked antibody those with highest scores further studied bond int...

The dependence of vegetation attenuation on propagation geometry has been experimentally investigated at SHF band for isolated single trees. Two measurement heights (Trunk and Canopy) have been used in these experiments that involve three fully foliated trees, Common Whitebeam (Sorbus aria), Silver Maple (Acer Saccharinum) and Common Hazel (Corylus Avellana). Result shows that apart from freque...

We consider the problem of similarity searches on protein databases based on both sequence and structure information simultaneously. Our program extracts feature vectors from both the sequence and structure components of the proteins. These feature vectors are then combined and indexed using a novel multi-dimensional index structure. For a given query, we employ this index structure to find can...

 From the birth of geography, life quality domain has been gained attention by geographers and it has been emphasized by geographers like Smith and Harvey and this issue has got so much significance recently.Present paper is descriptive-analytical and it is aimed at assessing life quality indices in thirteen districts of zahedan by examining 25 factors in three groups. The most part of...

A Generalized Minimum Variance control law is derived for the control of nonlinear, possibly time-varying multivariable systems. The solution for the control law is original and was obtained in the time-domain using a simple operator representation of the process. The quadratic cost index involves both error and control signal costing terms. The controller obtained is simple to implement and in...

In a previous paper, Smith and Weissman have considered estimators of the extremal index of a stationary stochastic process, and have shown that the theoretical properties of these estimators depend on an approximation formula for the extremal index. However, the derivation of this formula was entirely heuristic except for one very special case. In this paper, it is argued that the formula is v...
