Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan intestinal parasite that causes amoebic colitis and amoebic liver abscess. To identify virulence factors of E. histolytica, we first defined the phenotypes of two E. histolytica strains, HM-1:IMSS, the prototype virulent strain, and E. histolytica Rahman, a strain that was reportedly less virulent than HM-1:IMSS. We found that compared with HM-1:IMSS, Rahman...

This paper estimates long-run effects of a collective exchange rate adjustment on multilateral exports from China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The findings show that a 1 percent generalized appreciation of all East Asian exchange rates would reduce East Asian exports by about 3 per cent. The authors acknowledge helpful comments from Masahiro Kawai of Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) ...

Hyperbolic beta integrals are analogues of Euler’s beta integral in which the role of Euler’s gamma function is taken over by Ruijsenaars’ hyperbolic gamma function. They may be viewed as (q, q̃ )-bibasic analogues of the beta integral in which the two bases q and q̃ are interrelated by modular inversion, and they entail q-analogues of the beta integral for |q| = 1. The integrals under considerat...

The availability of Rahman, and the virulent HM-1:IMSS strain of E. histolytica, provides a powerful tool for identifying virulence factors of E. histolytica. Here we report an attempt to identify potential virulence factors of E. histolytica by comparing the transcriptome of E. histolytica HM-1:IMSS and E. histolytica Rahman. With phenotypically defined strains, we compared the transcriptome o...

from a long time ago, religious scholars have been competing to best determine the very miracles of the holy quran. from among these scholars some have tended to its language, style and structure while some other have been absorbed by its scientific miracles. the present study is an attempt to analyze one of these miracles, i.e. miracle of sound. quran was first revealed unto muhammad (pbuh) in...

The paper aims to develop and design a cloud-based Quran portal using Drupal technology and make it available in multiple services. The portal can be hosted on cloud and users around the world can access it using any Internet enabled device. The proposed portal includes different features to become a center of learning resources for various users. The portal is further designed to promote resea...
