Objective(s):  CD44 is a member of the cell adhesion molecules family. Naturally, CD44S, along with CD44V3 influence the cell motility, migration, and adhesion, while in tumor cells they lead to tumor invasion, progression, and metastasis. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the CD44S and CD44V3 expression in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) and to reveal their correlations wit...

Background and Aims: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules play a substantial role in T Lymphocyte-mediated adaptive immune response. Down-regulation of HLA expression may help the tumor to escape from immune surveillance. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between HLA-G and HLA-E tissue distribution and the degree of tumor malignancy in human breast tumors. Materials and Methods:...

On-chip simultaneous switching noise (SSN) has become an important issue in the design of power distribution networks in current VLSI/ULSI circuits. An analytical expression characterizing the simultaneous switching noise voltage is presented here based on a lumped model. The waveform describing the SSN voltage is quite close to the waveform obtained from SPICE. The peak value of the simultaneo...

The paper investigates relationships between algebraic expressions and graphs. Using the decomposition method we generate special simultaneous systems of linear recurrences for sizes of graph expressions. We propose techniques which provide closed-form solutions for these systems.

Flexibility and robustness of visual SLAM systems have been shown to benefit from an inverse depth parameterisation of features. However the increased number of 6 parameters per feature presents a problem to real-time EKF SLAM implementations because their computational complexity scales quadratically with the size of the state vector. Recent work tackles this for instance by converting the rep...
