A rapid, inexpensive, simple, and accurate multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed in a single tube for identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Assessment of sensitivity and specificity of simple PCR was performed with 116 strains of M. tuberculosis complex (MTC) and 144 strains of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) compared with the biochemical method. Specific amplificati...

The hardness of the integer factorization problem assures the security of some public-key cryptosystems including RSA, and the number field sieve method (NFS), the most efficient algorithm for factoring large integers currently, is a threat for such cryptosystems. Recently, Izu et al. developed a dedicated sieving device “CAIRN 2” with Xilinx’s FPGA which is designed to handle up to 768-bit int...

we describe, the first case of phenobarbital-induced dress syndrome presenting as a lichenoïd eruption. a 49-year-old man had received phenobarbital for a cerebral metastasis. twenty-five days later, he developed a purplish skin eruption, odynophagia, oral mucosal erosion and fever. physical examination revealed a cervical lymphadenopathy and facial edema associated to a diffuse violaceous macu...

Neospora caninum is an Apicomplexan parasite which may cause abortion in cattle. This study investigated occurrences of antibodies against N. caninum in Iranian native cattle. From September 2010 to September 2011, blood samples (n=768) of native cows were collected randomly from different rural regions of Hamedan (n=400) and Kurdistan provinces (n=368) located to the western part of Iran. All ...

A compact mesh architecture for supporting the relation collection step of the number field sieve is described. Differing from TWIRL, only isolated chips without inter-chip communication are used. According to a preliminary analysis for 768-bit numbers, with a 0.13 μm process one mesh-based device fits on a single chip of ≈(4.9 cm)—the largest proposed chips in the TWIRL cluster for 768-bit occ...
