introduction: acinetobacter baumannii is associated with hospital-acquired infections. outer membrane protein a of a.baumannii (abompa) is a well-characterized virulence factor which has important roles in pathogenesis of this bacterium. methods: based on our pcr-sequencing of ompa gene in the clinical isolates, abompa protein can be categorized into two types, named here type-1 and type-2. we ...

In this paper power system model is represented in a new domain that relates to Multi-Resolution Analysis (MRA) space. By developing mathematical model of elements in this space using Galerkin method, a new alternative method for power system simulation in nonsinusoidal and periodic conditions is developed. The mathematical formulation and characteristics of new proposed space is expressed. Als...

Sampling rate conversion (SRC) is one of important issues in modern sampling theory. It can be realized by up-sampling, filtering, and down-sampling operations, which need large complexity. Although some efficient algorithms have been presented to do the sampling rate conversion, they all need to compute the N-point original signal to obtain the up-sampling or the down-sampling signal in the tim...

reflection seismic data consist of primary reflections, coherent and incoherent noises. one of the objectives of seismic data processing is to enhance the quality of the real signals by attenuating different kinds of noises. multiples constitute one of the most troublesome forms of coherent noises in exploration seismology. multiple reflections often destructively interfere with the desired pri...

in this paper, the boundary-based estimation of pressure distribution in the cardiovascular system is investigated using two dimensional flow images. the conventional methods of non-invasive estimation of pressure distribution in the cardiovascular flow domain use the differential form of governing equations. this study evaluates the advantages of using the integral form of the equations in the...

It is well known fact that binary relations are generalized mathematical functions. Contrary to functions from domain to range, binary relations may assign to each element of domain two or more elements of range. Some basic operations on functions such as the inverse and composition are applicable to binary relations as well. Depending on the domain or range or both are fuzzy value fuzzy set, i...

in this paper, gaussian and elliptic high pass filters are analyzed for image sharpening qualitatively and quantatively . the filters are implemented in frequency domain using matlab software. experiments are performed to compare the performance of both the filters ,processed images are presented. the results demonstrate that elliptic yields better results.

in this work, time domain analysis is used to solve adler’s equation in order to obtain the required time, for an oscillator under external injection, reaching the steady-state condition. mathematical approach has been applied to fully describe the transient of frequency acquisition in injection-locked lc and ring oscillators considering their time-varying nature. then, the analysis is verified...
