Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a heterogeneous group of diseases that is progressive and involves multiple tissues. Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats are a polygenic model with elevated blood glucose, peripheral insulin resistance, a non-obese phenotype, and exhibit many degenerative changes observed in human T2DM. As part of a systems analysis of disease progression in this animal model, this study character...

Recent advances in array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) technology are revolutionizing our understanding of tumor genomes. Marker-based arrays enable rapid survey at megabase intervals, while tiling path arrays examine the entire genome in unprecedented detail. Tumor biopsies are typically small and contain infiltrating stromal cells, requiring tedious microdissection. Tissue het...

Let $A_1$, $A_2$ be unital Banach algebras and $X$ be an $A_1$-$A_2$- module. Applying the concept of module maps, (inner) modulegeneralized derivations and  generalized first cohomology groups, wepresent several results concerning the relations between modulegeneralized derivations from $A_i$ into the dual space $A^*_i$ (for$i=1,2$) and such derivations  from  the triangular Banach algebraof t...

Abstract Background As a large capillary network, the human placenta plays an important role throughout pregnancy. Placental vascular development is complex and delicate involves many types of placental cells, such as trophoblasts, mesenchymal stem cells. There has been no systematic, comparative study on roles these two groups cells whole tissue in angiogenesis. In this study, primary cytotrop...

this paper presents a low-cost compact planar microstrip-fed monopole antenna and its four-element array design for ultra-wideband (uwb) wireless communication and target detection applications, respectively, operating in the frequency span of 3 ghz to 11 ghz. a prototype was fabricated and then measured based on optimal parameters. the results of reflection coefficient (s11) and radiation patt...

detection of stealth targets calls for employment of high-power radars which itself relies on usage of high-gain antennas like large parabolic reflectors. in the past few years, using of an array with many small reflectors instead of a large reflector antenna has been considered. this method provides enhanced eirp by a factor of n2 where n is the number of array antennas. regarding improvement ...

A null steering GPS antenna array is designed in this paper. In the proposed method, the exact full wave antenna radiation properties with the effect of mutual couplings and nearby scatterers are considered to calculate the array steering vector, precisely. Although the proposed method is not constrained by the array geometry and the antenna element specifications, a five patch antenna elements...
