Human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is an inflammatory neurologic disease caused by HTLV-I infection and has been associated with elevated levels of several proinflammatory cytokines in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid. It is unknown what kind of cells secrete these cytokines and if HTLV-I Ags are associated with this phenome...

Processed and red meat consumption is associated with the risk of colorectal cancer. Meta-analyses have suggested that the risk associated with processed meat is higher. Most processed meats are cured and cooked, which leads to formation of free nitrosyl heme. We speculated that free nitrosyl heme is more toxic than native myoglobin. The promoting effect of a freeze-dried, cooked, cured ham die...

In this paper, the convergence of Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation by homotopy analysis method (HAM) is investigated. A theorem is proved to guarantee the convergence of HAM and to nd the series solution of this equation via a reliable algorithm.

Recently Guth and Katz [16] invented, as a step in their nearly complete solution of Erdős’s distinct distances problem, a new method for partitioning finite point sets in R, based on the Stone–Tukey polynomial ham-sandwich theorem. We apply this method to obtain new and simple proofs of two well known results: the Szemerédi–Trotter theorem on incidences of points and lines, and the existence o...

The problem of automatic description of a natural scene is usually divided into two steps: (1) constructing an abstract propositional description of the scene a task carried out by a vision system, and (2) expressing these abstract descriptions in natural language – a task carried out by a naturallanguagesystem. Both of these tasks have been dealt with separately. Systems like MORIO try to solv...

Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) is applied to find the critical buckling load of the Euler columns with continuous elastic restraints. HAM has been successfully applied to many linear and nonlinear, ordinary and partial, differential equations, integral equations, and difference equations. In this study, we presented the application of HAM to the critical buckling loads for Euler columns with fi...

This paper presents the application of the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) as a numerical solution to linear integro-differential equation. The HAM contains the auxiliary parameter , taht provides a powerful tool to analyze strongly linear and nonlinear problems. Examples are provided to demonstrate the advantages of HAM over the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), sine-cosine wavelets and CAS w...

In the present paper using homotopy analysis method (HAM), we approximate a special case of fuzzy integral equations. The fuzzy integral and integro-differential equations have a wide range of applications in science and engineering. In this paper HAM can be to find the exact solution or an approximate solution of the problem. Within this paper the HAM is used to obtain A series solution of int...

Fifteen families with clustering of infective dermatitis associated with HTLV-1 (IDH) and/or HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) were observed among 28 families of IDH index cases, 93% of them occurring in two generations. With the exception of two mothers of children with IDH, all the mothers with HAM/TSP had at least one child with HAM/TSP. This is the first re...

The detectability of planetesimal impacts on imaged exoplanets can be measured using Jupiter during the 1994 comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 events as a proxy. By integrating the whole planet flux with and without impact spots, the effect of the impacts at wavelengths from 2 4 μm is revealed. Jupiter’s reflected light spectrum in the near-infrared is dominated by its methane opacity including a deep ban...
