White-box cryptography is an obfuscation technique to protect the secret key in the software implementations even if an adversary has full access to the implementation of the encryption algorithm and full control over its execution platforms. This concept was presented in 2002 by Chow et al., and since then there have been many proposals to give solutions for the white-box cryptography. However...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to investigate the methylation status and mrna expression levels of p15, death-associated protein kinase (dapk), and suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (socs1) genes in multiple myeloma (mm). materials and methods: the bone marrow samples of 54 mm patients were collected and the methylation status of the p15, dapk, and socs1 gene promoter regions was dete...

conclusions some results of the correlation coefficients are not the same with visualization. the reason may be due to the small number of data. materials and methods in the foundation-application study, we constructed two-way gene networks using nonparametric methods, such as spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and blomqvist’s measure, and compared them with pearson’s correlation coefficie...

To the Editor: Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAggEC) heat-stable enterotoxin 1 (EAST1) was originally found as an enterotoxin of EaggEC (1). Recently, Yamamoto et al. (2) reported that the EAST1 gene, or its variants, were present not only in EAggEC but in other diarrheagenic E. coli, including some entero-pathogenic E. coli (EPEC) and enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC). Hedberg et al. (3) fo...

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is responsible for several food-borne outbreaks worldwide. In this study, tissue samples of finfish (tilapia, n = 100) and (mullet, 100), twenty human hand swabs from fish sellers fishermen were tested bacteriologically STEC presence. Isolates their antibiotic susceptibility examined the presence eaeA,stx1, stx2 genes. E. identified tissues (36.5% 1...

BACKGROUND Ruminants serve as one of the most important reservoirs for pathogenic Escherichia coli. Infection with E. coli, a foodborne enteropathogen, can lead to asymptomatic infections that can cause life-threatening complications in humans. Therefore, from a clinical and human health perspective, it is important to know which virulence genes, phylogenetic groups, serogroups, and antibiotic ...
