molecular evidence on the heterogeneity present in the ole e 1 allergen of the olive pollen is emerging. such polymorphism is dependent on the cultivar origin of pollen, which also determines wide differences in the expression of this protein. determination of biochemical and molecular characteristics of ole e 1 pollen allergen in two iranian olive cultivars, namely 'rowghani' and 'zard' is nec...

conclusions: premature stop codon in the s gene was observed in all countries with evaluable hbv genome sequences. co-existence of detectable hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag) and s gene premature stop codon was inconsistent with other studies. investigations on yield truncated hbsag are suggested to determine if they can affect elisa hbsag results. background: we have previously reported on ...

the aim of this study is to evaluate how far lempel-ziv complexity (lzc) of the binary symbolic sequences resulting from static or dynamic transformation (partitioning first-order difference) of the short-term electrocardiogram (ecg) signals (only 2 seconds duration) has the  potential in discriminating normal and ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (vt/vf) subjects. the statistica...

cyclotides are small disulfide-rich proteins that have the unusual feature of a cyclic backbone. cyclotides have a range of interesting biological activities and are found in a variety of tropical plants from the rubiaceae, violaceae, cucurbitaceae and fabaceae families. we have cloned and characterized cyclotides in viola modesta, a viola species native to western asia, which was collected fro...

abstractthis study aimed to shed light on young iranian efl students’ oral proficiency improvement through explicit instruction of formulaic sequences (fss). this pretest-posttest quasi experimental study was conducted in a bilingual school in shahrekord, iran. accordingly, based on actfl opi test, two groups of low intermediate students with age range of 11 to 12 were chosen to be assigned as ...

Digital transcript subtraction (DTS) was developed to subtract in silico known human sequences from expression library data sets, leaving candidate nonhuman sequences for further analysis. This approach requires precise discrimination between human and nonhuman cDNA sequences. Database comparisons show high likelihood that small viral sequences can be successfully distinguished from human seque...

This paper presents a scheme for rapid measurement of frequency characteristics of electronic products using DSP techniques. The use of Complementary sequences instead of the Barker sequences completely removes the sidelobe error and provides exact measurement of the product characteristics in the absence of noise. DSP based testing allows us to send all the test frequencies through the device ...

Previous single-unit recordings in monkeys showed that essential information regarding a decision is available earlier to posterior parietal cortex than expected based on simultaneously measured behavioral response times (RTs). We propose that this observation reflects a tendency of the brain to reduce RT variability in repetitive response sequences. To test this, we studied the effects of expe...
