Rhizobia establish symbiosis with legumes. Bacteroids in indeterminate nodules of Inverted Repeat Lacking Clade (IRLC) legumes undergo terminal differentiation caused by Nodule-specific Cysteine-Rich peptides (NCRs). Microscopic observations of bacteroids and the detection of NCRs in indeterminate nodules of the non-IRLC legume Leucaena glauca were performed. A portion of the bacteroids showed ...

There is described a class of the encryption functions based on data-dependent selection of subkeys. Such functions are proposed for elaboration of the indeterminate ciphers with very large number of different modifications of the cryptalgorithm. A 128bit undetermined cipher is described. The number of possible modifications is ≈ 10, where 2 ≤ R ≤ 7, R is the number of rounds. It is proved that...

The AIDS epidemic is spreading rapidly among women worldwide, offering increasing opportunities for vertical transmission of HIV. In Brazil, the prevalence of HIV infection among pregnant women is less than 1%. Therefore, the positive predictive value of an HIV EIA test tends to be lower than the more frequent indeterminate Western blot result. Pregnant women receiving antenatal care, from 2000...

Thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy results are cytologically indeterminate in 15-30% of cases. When these nodules undergo diagnostic surgery, approximately three-quarters are histologically benign. These unnecessary surgeries diminish quality of life, generate complications, and increase healthcare costs. The Afirma gene expression classifier (GEC) is validated to pre-operatively identify cy...

The main limit of thyroid fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is represented by indeterminate report. Recently, real-time elastography (RTE) has been described in the management of these cases. Here, we performed a meta-analysis of published studies specifically focused on the use of RTE in indeterminate thyroid nodules. A comprehensive literature search of PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar ...

Background: Indeterminate colitis is one of the inflammatory bowel diseases that cannot be classified over time as having ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. Dysregulated immunity has been implicated in indeterminate colitis.Aim: to measure serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and IL-6 and anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 in inde...

abstract. suppose g is an nvertex and medge simple graph with edge set e(g). an integervalued function f: e(g) → z is called a flow. tutte was introduced the flow polynomial f(g, λ) as a polynomial in an indeterminate λ with integer coefficients by f(g,λ) in this paper the flow polynomial of some dendrimers are computed.

BACKGROUND indeterminate Western blot (WB) patterns are a major concern for diagnosis of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection, even in non-endemic areas. OBJECTIVES (a) to define the prevalence of indeterminate WB among different populations from Argentina; (b) to evaluate if low proviral load (PVL) is associated with indeterminate WB profiles; and (c) to describe mutatio...

Let Yl, , Yp be monomials over the indeterminates Xl, , xq. For every y (yl, , yp) there is some minimum number L(y) of multiplications sufficient to compute y 1, , Yo from x 1, , xq and the identity 1. Let L(p, q, N) denote the maximum of L(y) over all y for which the exponent of any indeterminate in any monomial is at most N. We show that if p (N+ 1) () and q (N+ 1)(), then L(p, q, N) min {p,...
