Human detection in videos plays an important role in various real life applications. Most of traditional approaches depend on utilizing handcrafted features which are problem-dependent and optimal for specific tasks. Moreover, they are highly susceptible to dynamical events such as illumination changes, camera jitter, and variations in object sizes. On the other hand, the proposed feature learn...

A large body of exper imental data indicates that T cell growth factor, interleukin 2 (IL-2), j participates in a n u m b er o f in vitro assays for immune responses. For example, IL-2 has been shown to maintain the in vitro proliferat ion of antigen-specific, cytolytic, and helper T cell lines (1, 2); to contr ibute to the format ion of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in cultures stimulated with alloa...

A novel method with quaternary ammonium salts as internal additives has been applied to the mass scale calibration of time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). Five kinds of quaternary ammonium salts, octyltrimethylammonium bromide (C8TMA), tetradecyltrimethylammonium chloride (C14TMA), octadecytrimethylammonium chloride (C18TMA), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and benzyldimeth...

Cis-elements (-933 to -641) upstream of the human M creatine kinase gene cap site contain an enhancer that confers developmental and tissue-specific expression to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene in C2C12 myogenic cells transfected in culture. Division of the enhancer at -770 into a 5' fragment that includes the MyoD binding sites (-933 to -770) and a 3' fragment that includes the MEF...

The influence of metallothionein (MT)(2) on Zn absorption was investigated in MT-null (MT-/-) and normal (MT+/+) mice fed Zn-depleted (ZnD) diets for 7 d and compared with those fed Zn-replete (ZnR) diets in a previous study. Mice were starved for 20 h, then administered an oral gavage of aqueous (65)ZnSO(4) solution at doses of 154, 770 or 1540 nmol of Zn, and the amount transferred into nongu...

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a pathogen that causes an AIDS-like syndrome in domestic cats and is extensively used as a model system by which criteria for anti-lentiviral vaccines and drugs development can be tested. Despite little homology sequence, the surface and TM gp of FIV and HIV-1 exhibit a common structural framework and appear to play similar roles in Initiation of cell infe...

background and objective : poor sleep, poor quality of sleep and sleepiness are among the common problems as-sociated with learning, memory and educational performance in children and adolescents. considering the lack of pre-vious literature in this field, especially in the city of yazd, iran, a number of high-school students of the city participat-ed in a study to assess sleep problems and inf...
