Number of Papers published in peer-reviewed journals: Final Report: Modeling and Theoretical Analysis of On-Chip Phase-Sensitive Amplifiers Report Title We performed a theoretical study of phase-sentisitive amplification in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), so as to support and orient the experimental activity lead by other project partners. A major outcome of our research is the develop...

background: in spite of sufficient knowledge about phenotypic variation of trichomonas vaginalis , its genetic characteristics are poorly understood. we carried out a molecular epidemiology study in which in vitro metronidazole susceptibility of t. vaginalis isolates was considered. methods : this study was conducted on 862 women admitted to gynecology clinics in hamadan, west of iran, during 2...

The p-adic Simpson correspondence due to Faltings (Adv Math 198(2):847–862, 2005) is a analogue of non-abelian Hodge theory. following the main result this article: for line bundles can be enhanced rigid analytic morphism moduli spaces under certain smallness conditions. In complex setting, shows that there from space vector with integrable connection representations finitely generated group as...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a recently discovered set of regulatory genes that constitute up to an estimated 1% of the total number of genes in animal genomes, including Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila, mouse, and humans [Lagos-Quintana, M., Rauhut, R., Lendeckel, W. & Tuschl, T. (2001) Science 294, 853-858; Lai, E. C., Tomancak, P., Williams, R. W. & Rubin, G.M. (2003) Genome Biol. 4, R42; Lau, ...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and disease-specific antimicrobial susceptibility of Escherichia coli in urinary tract infections (UTIs). Materials and Methods: A total of 862 patients older than 18 years of age, who were diagnosed with UTI between January 2013 and December 2015, were included. The results of urine culture, prevalence of extended-spectrum beta lac...

BACKGROUND Prospective external validation of the Vulnerable Elder's Survey (VES-13) in primary care remains limited. The aim of this study is to externally validate the VES-13 in predicting mortality and emergency admission in older community-dwelling adults. METHODS Design: Prospective cohort study with 2 years follow-up (2010-2012). SETTING 15 General Practices (GPs) in the Republic of I...

We investigated the suppressive effects of Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.) on the hyper-production of mucins in NCI-H292 human lung cancer cells. Periodic acid-Schiff staining showed that the 50% (v/v) ethanol extract of Welsh onion suppressed mucus glycoprotein production in cells, whereas the water and ethanol extracts did not. A real-time RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that the 50% ethanol ...

The relationship between acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and refractory anemia with excess of blasts (RAEB) and antibodies to human T-cell lymphotropic virus types I and II (HTLV-I and HTLV-II), and hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus (HCV) was investigated in a multicenter case-control study. There were 431 cases enrolled in the stu...
