BACKGROUND Genomic grade (GG) is a 97-gene signature which improves the accuracy and prognostic value of histological grade (HG) in invasive breast carcinoma. Since most of the genes included in the GG are involved in cell proliferation, we performed a retrospective study to compare the prognostic value of GG, Mitotic Index and Ki67 score. METHODS A series of 163 consecutive breast cancers wa...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we obtain exact solutions involving parameters of some nonlinear PDEs in mathmatical physics; namely the one-‎dimensional modified complex Ginzburg-Landau equation by using the $ (G'/G) $ expansion method‎, homogeneous balance method, extended F-expansion method‎. ‎By ‎using homogeneous balance principle and the extended F-expansion, more periodic wave solutions expressed by j...

this paper presents a probabilistic confidence-interval based method for optimal placement of shunt capacitors in distribution networks by considering probabilistic characteristics of loads. the main objective function are reducing loss and improving the voltage profile. backward forward sweep method has been employed to obtain the power flow results in distribution system. in addition, integer...

in this paper, we present a new computational technique for solving nonlinear fredholm integral equations of the second kind. this proposed method is based on galerkin method and is computationally very attractive. moreover, for reducing the operations in comparing similar works, we design our algorithm based on transformations of orthogonal polynomials in approximation coefficients calculating...

Fragments of glycoprotein G (gG-2(281-594His)), comprising residues 281 to 594 of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), glycoprotein G of HSV-1 (gG-1(t26-189His)), and glycoprotein D of HSV-1 (gD-1(1-313)), were expressed in the baculovirus expression system to develop an assay for the detection of HSV-1 and HSV-2 type-specific antibodies. The expression of the gG-1(t26-189His) and gG-2(281-594H...

To gain knowledge on the precision of an in vitro method for characterisation of the fermentability of dietary fibres, this study aimed to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of such a method. Substrates used were citrus pectin (CP), fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), guar gum (GG), sugar beet pulp (SBP) and wheat middlings (WM). Each substrate was incubated with faecal inoculum from fiv...

In this paper, we present an approximate method to solve the solution of the second kind Volterra integral equations. This method is based on a previous scheme, applied by Maleknejad ‎et al., ‎‎[K. Maleknejad ‎and Aghazadeh, Numerical solution of Volterra integral equations of the second kind with convolution kernel by using Taylor-series expansion method, ‎Appl. Math. Comput.‎ (2005)]‎ to gain...
