odontogenic tumors constitute a group of heterogeneous lesions of benign and malignant neoplasms with variable aggressiveness. ameloblastomas are a group of benign but locally invasive neoplasms that occur in the jaws and are derived from epithelial elements of the tooth-forming apparatus. we previously described orosomucoid-1 protein expression in odontogenic myxomas. however, whether orosomuc...

background: in order to obtain an anti-cd20 conjugate to be used in future therapeutic studies with therapeutic radioisotopes, 67ga-labeled antibody was prepared as a model of metal chelated immunoconjugate for preliminary dosimetric and biodistribution studies. materials and methods: rituximab was labeled with [67ga]-gallium chloride after residulation with freshly prepared cyclic dtpadianhydr...

introduction: bleomycins are dna-binding biomolecules, which can be used as targeted therapy carriers when labeled with particle-emitters such as yb-175. in this work the development of yb-175 bleomycin (175yb-blm) has been reported. methods: yb-175 chloride was obtained by thermal neutron irradiation (3 × 1013 n.cm-2.s-1) of natural yb2o3 samples at various neutron fluxes and irradiation time...

A parallel algorithm for generating t-ary tree sequences in reverse B-order is presented. The algorithm generates t-ary trees by 0-1 sequences, and each 0-1 sequences is generated in constant average time O(1). The algorithm is executed on a CREW SM SIMD model, and is adaptive and cost-optimal. Prior to the discussion of the parallel algorithm a new sequential generation with O(1) average time ...
