Previous works demonstrated that various species of Leishmania promastigotes exhibit differential sensitivity to complement-mediated lysis (CML) during development. Upon exposure to normal human serum (NHS), cultures of Leishmania chagasi promastigotes recently isolated from infected hamsters (fewer than 5 in vitro passages) are CML-sensitive when in the logarithmic growth phase but become CML-...

abstract different strategies are existed for adjusting with water shortage, of which the strategy of suitable policies adoption by determining optimum production function can be mentioned. water shortage and quality degradation of soil and water resources is one of main factors of production reduction. therefore, this study was carried out for determination of tomato sensitivity coefficients a...

Diffusion on a T fractal lattice under the influence of topological biasing fields is studied by finite size scaling methods. This allows to avoid proliferation and singularities which would arise in a renormalization group approach on infinite system as a consequence of logarithmic diffusion. Within the scheme, logarithmic diffusion is proved on the basis of an analysis of various temporal sca...

Schedulability analysis for hard real-time systems requires bounds on the execution times of its tasks. To obtain useful bounds in the presence of caches, cache analysis is mandatory. The subject-matter of this article is the static analysis of the tree-based PLRU cache replacement policy (pseudo least-recently used), for which the precision of analyses lags behind those of other policies. We i...

Length-biased data are widely seen in applications. They are mostly applicable in epidemiological studies or survival analysis in medical researches. Here we aim to propose a Berry-Esseen type bound for the kernel density estimator of this kind of data.The rate of normal convergence in the proposed Berry-Esseen type theorem is shown to be O(n^(-1/6) ) modulo logarithmic term as n tends to infin...
