PURPOSE To investigate four-dimensional flow denoising using the divergence-free wavelet (DFW) transform and compare its performance with existing techniques. THEORY AND METHODS DFW is a vector-wavelet that provides a sparse representation of flow in a generally divergence-free field and can be used to enforce "soft" divergence-free conditions when discretization and partial voluming result i...

We consider the problem of learning a high-dimensional but low-rank matrix from a large-scale dataset distributed over several machines, where low-rankness is enforced by a convex trace norm constraint. We propose DFW-Trace, a distributed Frank-Wolfe algorithm which leverages the low-rank structure of its updates to achieve efficiency in time, memory and communication usage. The step at the hea...

Abstract This project was undertaken to evaluate dehydrated restaurant food waste (DFW) mixed with treated rice straw (TRS) on growth, diet digestibility, and meat quality for growing finishing pigs. The DFW minced, dried, without or TRS at 10% [DFW+TRS1] 15% [DFW+TRS2], compared a corn/ soybean meal (CSM) as control diet. DFW, DFW+TRS1 DFW+TRS2 products contained 11.4, 9.8 8.4% moisture, 18.0,...

/ Fort Worth (DFW) is one of for Terminal Weather One of the primary the ITWS is a suite of algorithms that utilize data from the Temlinal Doppler Weather Radar (lDWR) to generate wind shear alerts. DFW also benefits from a Network Expansion of the Low-Level Wind Shear Advisory System (LL W AS-NE). The LL W AS-NE generated alerts are integrated with the radar-based alerts in ITWS to provide Air...

objective: verotoxin is a member of shiga toxin family. this family contains ab protein toxins with an enzymatic (a) and a binding (b) compartment. cells that have receptor (gb3) are sensitive to cytotoxic effects of toxin. it has been shown that various tumor cells have gb3 receptor and are selectively sensitive to apoptotic effect of verotoxin. studies on tumor cell lines and laboratory anima...

objective: today, special attention is paid to the use of zirconium dioxide nanoparticle (nano-zro2), a neutral bioceramic metal, particularly for drug and gene delivery in medicine. however, there are some reports implying that use of nano-zro2 is associated with cytotoxic effects like inhibiting the cell proliferation, dna damage and apoptosis. in the present study, we examined whether nano-z...

objective: a number of studies have demonstrated the potential antitumor effects of saffron and its constituents on different malignant cells in vitro. it has been reported that a novel glycoconjugate isolated from corms and callus of saffron possesses cytotoxic activity against different tumor cellswith nitric oxide (no) production. these data suggest that the cytotoxic effect of saffron extra...

background: erythropoietin (epo) is a glycoprotein hormone function to regulate the production of red blood cells. deficiency of epo is known to cause anemia in chronically infected renal patients and they require regular blood transfusion. availability of recombinant epo has eliminated the need for blood transfusion and now it is extensively used for the treatment of anemia. glycosylation of e...

the anti-cancer activity of metal ions in the lanthanide group is being considered recently. it has been reported that cerium salts might stimulate the metabolism and therefore, produce anti-cancer effects. however, little is known about the effects of protein-cerium complex in controlling cancer cell growth. the aim of the present study was to elucidate the possible pathways for the cytotoxic ...

abstract background and aims: to identify and isolation of viruses a susceptible cell is need which can be primary or line. the use of primary cells is laborious, time consuming and expensive, while the use of cell lines is much easier and faster. irkhbk cell line was originated from primary cells of bovine kidney by continuous passage. the aim of this study was to introduce the irkhbk cell lin...
