after hair cells have been killed, but the response is In nearly every waking moment, our brains respond to much weaker than in nonmammals. All those epithelia signals that originate from hair cells. These cells reside contain relatively undifferentiated supporting cells that in six separate epithelia in our internal ears and are cannot be reliably subdivided on thebasis of histological detecto...

Cancer is widely seen as a problem of industrialized countries, reflecting the consequences of affluent lifestyles and exposure to chemical carcinogens, such as those in tobacco smoke. In lowand middle-income countries, where infectious diseases and child survival are dominant concerns, cancer tends to receive relatively little attention. However, at least half of the roughly seven million deat...

Purpose: Up-regulation of caveolin-1 (cav-1) is associated with virulent prostate cancer, and serum cav-1levels are elevated in prostate cancer patients but not in benign prostatic hyperplasia. In this study, we evaluated the potential of high preoperative serum cav-1 levels to predict biochemical progression of prostate cancer. The value of the combined preoperative markers, prostate-specific ...

In this paper a new method is introduced to increase the resiliency of a distribution grid by forming robust microgrids after extreme contingencies following disasters. The method tries to serve as much load as possible by forming microgrids with alleviated vulnerability based on the Manchester model and optimal AC power flow. The main feature of the proposed method is that the formed microgrid...

Purpose: It has been shown that the expression of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is closely associated with invasion andmetastasis in gastric cancer. AGlySer polymorphism in exon 3 of RAGE gene was identified and thought to have an effect on the functions of its protein. Therefore, the goal of the present study was to investigate whether the polymorphism is involved in ...

This paper discusses the extraction of cylindrical based features from a neutral data format, namely STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data) file produced by any Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems. The cylindrical features can be modelled using feature-based design or Constructive Solid Geometry methods. A rule-based algorithm was developed for the extraction of the cylindrical ...

In this paper we present some personal experiences with Computer Algebra applications to industrial problems. In many cases the involved Computer Algebra problems seem as challenging as climbing up a difficult peak. Then one finds out that the trail leads up to a quite rugged hill . . . This point of view will be illustrated with “real” examples coming from robot kinematics and path planning, p...

In this document we describe the scheme used for labelling the open-source Ukwabelana Zulu corpus as well as the rules employed for the Part-of-speech (POS) tagger used to assign POS to morphologically analysed words. A detailed description of the Zulu morphology, the corpus itself and its generation is given in [2]. All resources can be downloaded from http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/Research/Machine...

A bi-Cayley graph is a graph which admits a semiregular group of automorphisms with two orbits (of equal size), and is a onematching bi-Cayley graph if the bipartite graph induced by the edges joining these two orbits is a perfect matching. Typical examples of such graphs are the generalized Petersen graphs. A classification of connected arc-transitive one-matching bi-Cayley graphs over abelian...
