AIM Osteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive bone malignancy that affects rapidly growing bones and is associated with a poor prognosis. Our previous study showed that cytochrome c1 (CYC1), a subunit of the cytochrome bc1 complex (complex III) of the mitochondrial electron chain, is overexpressed in human OS tissues and cell lines and its silencing induces apoptosis in vitro and inhibits tumor growth...

Background: Among different roles of miRNAs in AD pathogenesis, hsa-miR-494-3p and hsa-miR-661 functions are poorly understood. Methods: To obtain the gene targets, gene networks, gene ontology, and enrichment analysis of the two miRNAs, some web servers were utilized. Furthermore, the expressions of these miRNAs were analyzed by qRT-PCR in 36 blood sera, including 18 Alzheimer’s patients and 1...

The physical demands placed on dancers from current choreography and Abstract performance schedules make their physiology and fitness just as important as skill development. However, even at the height of their professional careers, dancers’ aerobic power, muscular strength, muscular balance, bone and joint integrity are the ‘Achilles heels’ of the dance-only selection and training system. This...

The hepatitis C virus glycoprotein E2 receptor-binding domain is encompassed by amino acids 384 to 661 (E2(661)) and contains two hypervariable sequences, HVR1 and HVR2. E2 sequence comparisons revealed a third variable region, located between residues 570 and 580, that varies widely between genotypes, designated here as igVR, the intergenotypic variable region. A secreted E2(661) glycoprotein ...

In the last homework, the DLT algorithm was used to find the homography which minimized an algebraic cost function. In this homework, we wish to find the homography H which minimizes the geometric cost function given by Equation 4.6 in the textbook (pg. 94) (1) where d() is Euclidean distance. Equation (1) can be rewritten as a nonlinear least squares problem with the form C(p) = X − F (p) 2 (2...
