Our special fuzzy classifier operates on the set of eight features extracted from the 3x3 neighborhood of each pixel. These features are the magnitudes of differences between that pixel and the eight neighboring pixels. They are input into the fuzzy classifier inputs that connect to two fuzzy set membership functions that represent “white background” or “black edge.” The paradigm is simple, com...

The p5 promoter region of adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV-2) is a multifunctional element involved in rep gene expression, Rep-dependent replication, and site-specific integration. We initially characterized a 350-bp p5 region by its ability to behave like a cis-acting replication element in the presence of Rep proteins and adenoviral factors. The objective of this study was to define the mi...

The Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project, or P5, is a cross-discipline project based on problems in the education sector. Since 2021/2022 academic year, there have been 4 themes for early childhood (Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini PAUD), and 7 elementary schools (Sekolah Dasar SD), middle Menengah Pertama SMP), high Atas SMA). P5 makes up around 20-30% of total credits year. However, teach...

Francisella tularensis subspecies tularensis, the etiological agent of tularemia, is highly pathogenic to humans and animals. However, the SCHU strain of F. tularensis SCHU P0 maintained by passaging in artificial media has been found to be attenuated. To better understand the molecular mechanisms behind the pathogenicity of F. tularensis SCHU, we attempted to isolate virulent bacteria by seria...

To investigate the relative importance of each of the ribose 3'-hydroxyl groups of 2-5A (ppp5' A2'p5'A2'-p5' A) in determining binding to and activation of the 2-5A-dependent endonuclease (RNase L), the 3'-hydroxyl functionality of each adenosine moiety of 2-5A trimer triphosphate was sequentially replaced by hydrogen. The analog in which the 5'-terminal adenosine was replaced by 3'-deoxyadenos...

Seven secretory mammalian kexin-like subtilases have been identified that cleave a variety of precursor proteins at monobasic and dibasic residues. The recently characterized pyrolysin-like subtilase SKI-1 cleaves proproteins at nonbasic residues. In this work we describe the properties of a proteinase K-like subtilase, neural apoptosis-regulated convertase 1 (NARC-1), representing the ninth me...

Let G1, G2, . . . , Gt be graphs. The multicolor Ramsey number R(G1, G2, . . . , Gt) is the smallest positive integer n such that if the edges of a complete graph Kn are partitioned into t disjoint color classes giving t graphs H1,H2, . . . ,Ht, then at least one Hi has a subgraph isomorphic to Gi. In this paper, we provide the exact value of R(Pn1 , Pn2 , . . . , Pnt , Ck) for certain values o...

Hoàng defined the P4-sparse graphs as the graphs where every set of five vertices induces at most one P4. These graphs attracted considerable attention in connection with the P4-structure of graphs and the fact that P4-sparse graphs have bounded clique-width. Fouquet and Giakoumakis generalized this class to the nicely structured semi-P4-sparse graphs being the (P5, co-P5, co-chair)-free graphs...
