introduction: busulfan as a chemotherapeutic agent causes testicular germinal epithelium depletion and cytotoxicity in germ cells. the aim of this study was to assess antioxidant status, reactive oxygen species (ros) generation and apoptosis-related genetic markers of adult male mouse sperm following busulfan treatment. materials and methods: forty adult nmri mice (30 ± 5 g) were divided into t...

The Beam-Based Feedback System (BBFS) was primarily responsible for correcting the beam energy, orbit and tune in CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A major code renovation of BBFS planned carried out during LHC Long Shutdown 2 (LS2). This work consists an explorative study to solve a beam-based control problem, feedback (QFB), utilising state-of-the-art Reinforcement Learning (RL). simulation e...

This research proposes a new model for analyzing and correcting non-schedulable partitions in real-time multiprocessor systems, specifically the context of fault tolerance distributed networks. The need such arises from current techniques that must be revised repartitioning all tasks across processors. proposed is based on intelligent agents implemented using JADE platform. consists (1) supervi...

The cationic amphiphilic lipid type compound 1,1’-{[3,5-bis(dodecyloxycarbonyl)-4-phenyl-1,4dihydropyridin-2,6-diyl]dimethylene} bispyridinium dibromide (1,4-DHP lipid) (charge +2), is a gene transfection agent. The electronic structure of 1,4-DHP lipid molecule was investigated by ab initio quantum mechanics, the charges were derived, and the supramolecular structure formed by 1,4-DHP lipid mo...

This paper generalizes parallel error correcting codes proposed by Ahlswede et al. over a new type of multiple access channel called parallel error channel. The generalized parallel error correcting codes can handle with more errors compared with the original ones. We show construction methods of independent and non-independent parallel error correcting codes and decoding methods. We derive som...

Cereal Chem. 84(1):88–91 Head rice yield (HRY) is the primary parameter used to quantify rice milling quality. However, HRY is affected by the degree of milling (DOM) and thus HRY may not be comparable between different lots if the DOM is different. The objective of this study was to develop a method by which HRY values can be adjusted for varying DOM values when measured by surface lipid conte...

: In this paper, we address the problem of detecting and correcting hidden spelling errors in Arabic texts. Hidden spelling errors are morphologically valid words and therefore they cannot be detected or corrected by conventional spell checking programs. In the work presented here, we investigate this kind of errors as they relate to the Arabic language. We start by proposing a classification o...

We consider the problem of designing error correcting codes (ECC), a hard combinatorial optimization problem of relevance in the field of telecommunications. This problem is firstly approached via a battery of local search (LS) methods that are compared and analyzed. Then, we study how to tackle this problem by having a society of interacting autonomous agents where each agent is endowed with a...
