In 1917, D'Arch Thompson suggested that one should study the change from one biological form to another by examining the unique mathematical object that maps between them in accord with biological homologies. Biorthogonal grids provide a particular coordinate system for visualizing such a map and lead to a quantitative syntax in which a change in shape is reduced to differential changes in size...

Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest malignancy among gynecologic tumors, and serous cystadenocarcinoma (OV) dominant histological type. Ferroptosis a novel iron-dependent, programmed form of cell death, agents that trigger ferroptosis may constitute potential anti-cancer therapies. Materials Methods: We herein extracted genes participate in process from online FerrDb da...

Specific binding of immunoliposomes to target tumor cells was investigated in a xenograft model (athymic nude mice) of i.p. growing human ovarian carcinoma (OVCAR-3). For the first time, quantitative evidence is presented that attachment of a tumor-specific antibody (OV-TL 3) dramatically enhances the association of liposomes with i.p. growing OVCAR-3 cells. The OV-TL 3-mediated binding of lipo...

Finding a good wavelet for a particular application and type of input data is a difficult problem. Traditional methods of wavelet design focus on abstract properties of the wavelet that can be optimized analytically but whose influence on its real-world performance are not entirely understood. In this paper, a coevolutionary genetic algorithm is developed that searches the space of biorthogonal...

Abstract. Let f ∈ Lp(R), 1 ≤ p < ∞ and let Λ ⊆ R be discrete. We consider the nature of the closed linear span X of the translations of f by λ ∈ Λ under the assumption that these translations can be ordered to be basic, unconditional basic, a Schauder frame or a biorthogonal system. We show, for example, that such a system can never be a basis for L1(R) or an unconditional basis for Lp(R) if 1 ...

PURPOSE Almost all patients with epithelial ovarian cancer receive chemotherapy and, concurrently, the synthetic steroid hormone dexamethasone to alleviate the side effects. This study aims to test the impact of steroid hormones on the apoptosis of epithelial ovarian cancer cells and to identify its mediators. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Tumor cell lines from 19 patients with advanced epithelial ovar...

In this paper, we propose and analyze concatenated coding schemes for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS/CDMA) systems in asynchronous channels. In the concatenated coding, bandwidth-efficient 2 -state L/(L+1)-rate 2MTCM with biorthogonal signal constellation is used for the inner code, and (2 1, d(2 1)/L/2e) RS code is used for the outer code. It is shown that we can get conside...

INTRODUCTION Preliminary data suggested that non-invasive methods could be useful to assess presence of oesophageal varices (OV) in liver cirrhosis. The primary objectives were to investigate non-invasive markers for diagnosing and grading OV in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included a total of 106 consecutive treatment-naive patients with primary bi...
