Rapid visible/near-infrared (VNIR) hyperspectral imaging methods, employing both a single waveband algorithm and multi-spectral algorithms, were developed in order to discrimination between sound and discolored lettuce. Reflectance spectra for sound and discolored lettuce surfaces were extracted from hyperspectral reflectance images obtained in the 400-1000 nm wavelength range. The optimal wave...

objective(s): coronary artery disease (cad) is the leading cause of death in both male and female worldwide. the main cause of cad is the atherosclerosis of coronary arteries, which is, mostly caused by genetic alteration. 50% of such cases occur in mitotic cells where single-strand breaks occur spontaneously or due to ionizing radiation. x-ray repair cross-complementing protein 1 (xrcc1) as a ...

Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harboring internal tandem duplication mutations of the FLT3 receptor (FLT3/ITD mutations) have a poor prognosis compared to patients lacking such mutations. Incorporation of FLT3 inhibitors into existing chemotherapeutic regimens has the potential to improve clinical outcomes in this high-risk group of patients. CEP-701, an indolocarbazole-derived sele...

Endothelins (ETs) are a family of potent vasoactive peptides found in at least three distinct isoforms: ET-1, ET-2, and ET-31}. Two major subtypes of endothelin receptors, termed ETAand ETB, have been identified in various target cells2). It is well known that ETs act on these G protein-coupled receptors and exert multiple pharmacological effects3). As the development of potent and selective en...
