the objective of the study was to evaluate thecytotoxic effects of aqueous fruit extract of cucumis melo in human prostate cancer cell line (pc-3) using mttand neutral red assays. the crude aqueous extract of c.melo was prepared by cold maceration method, filtered,concentrated and tested on pc-3 cell line. dose-dependent cytotoxic activitieswere exhibited by human prostate carcinoma pc-3 cell l...

the association of hla and disease varies in different populations. we have . studied the association of hla class i in iranian psoriatic patients, in order to compare this association with other reports. fifty-one iranian patients with psoriasis were hla typed. the frequency of hla antigens in patients and patient subgroups, based on clinical patterns, age of onset, family history and provocat...

We consider coordination in cascade networks and construct sequences of polar codes that achieve any point in a special region of the empirical coordination capacity region. Our design combines elements of source coding to generate actions with the desired type with elements of channel coding to minimize the communication rate. Moreover, we bound the probability of malfunction of a polar code f...

As the rst step in an automated text sum-marization algorithm, this work presents a new method for automatically identifying the central ideas in a text based on a knowledge-based concept counting paradigm. To represent and generalize concepts, we use the hierarchical concept taxonomy WordNet. By setting appropriate cutoo values for such parameters as concept generality and child-to-parent freq...

The dinuclear bis(2,2’-bipyridine)ruthenium complex of 4,5-di(2-pyridyl)imidazolate has been prepared and separated into its (meso and rac) diastereoisomers. The 2-phenyl substituted analogue forms the meso isomer selectively. All three complexes have been characterised by H NMR and X-ray crystallography. Electrochemical measurements and spectroelectrochemistry of the mixedvalence states reveal...
