PURPOSE We expanded the clinical usefulness of EPIC-CP (Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice) by evaluating its responsiveness to health related quality of life changes, defining the minimally important differences for an individual patient change in each domain and applying it to a sexual outcome prediction model. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 1,201 subjects from a previ...

Background and Amis: Serological assay is considered as one of the best choices for conducting large number of infection tests. Recombinant DNA technology has been used for expression of virus coat protein (CP) gene in prokaryotic bacterial cells such as Escherichia coli and the recombinant CP (rCP) is used as immunogen in antibody production. Heterologous CP protein expression and purification...

The increasing popularity of remote Cloud File Sharing (CFS) has become a major concern for privacy breach sensitive data. Aiming at this concern, we present new resource sharing framework by integrating enterprise-side Attribute-Based Access Control/eXtensible Control Markup Language (ABAC/XACML) model, client-side Ciphertext-Policy Encryption (CP-ABE) scheme, and cloud-side CFS service. Moreo...

The short-term effects of low-level contamination by heavy metals (As, Cd, Cu, and Pb) on the soil health were examined by analyzing soil nematode community in soils planted with tomatoes. For this, the soils were irrigated with five metal concentrations ([1, 1/4, 1/4(2), 1/4(3), and 0] × maximum concentrations [MC] detected in irrigation waters near abandoned mine sites) for 18 weeks. Heavy me...
