Background: Interferons are some kind of natural cytokines which express in response to a variety of antigens including viral RNA, bacterial products, and tumor proteins. Interferon beta is used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Moreover, this drug inhibits cellular proliferation as well as angiogenesis and as a result, helps to cure cancer. In this research, i...

Background and Aims: DNA constructs containing HCV antigens have become one of the vaccine candidates for induction of anti-HCV cellular and humoral immunity. In this study, we constructed a novel expressing vector harboring a fusion sequence derived from an overlapping fragment in the middle of NS3 and a truncated core fragment to avoid troubles reported to be associated with full gene express...

As a first step towards realistic phenomenological description of vector and axial-vector mesons in nuclear matter, we calculate the spectral functions $\rho$ $a_1$ meson chiral baryon-meson model as low-energy effective realization QCD, taking into account effects fluctuations from scalar mesons, nucleons, within Functional Renormalization Group (FRG) approach. The phase diagram hadronic theor...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we introduce the structure of a groupoid associated to a vector field‎ ‎on a smooth manifold‎. ‎We show that in the case of the $1$-dimensional manifolds‎, ‎our‎ ‎groupoid has a‎ ‎smooth structure such that makes it into a Lie groupoid‎. ‎Using this approach‎, ‎we associated to‎ ‎every vector field an equivalence‎ ‎relation on the Lie algebra of all vector fields on the smooth...

This paper will examine the current chamfer and vector distance transforms for encoding objects as distance elds. A new vector distance transform is introduced which uses the city-block chamfer distance transform as a basis. Detailed error analysis using real CT data is presented demonstrating the improved accuracy the new approach gives over existing methods. The production of a sub-voxel accu...
