background and objective: an outer membrane protein (omp) of helicobacter pylori namely oipa, is an important vir- ulence factor associated with peptic ulcer and gastric cancer risks. the purpose of this study was to isolate the 34 kda omp of h. pylori and evaluate its immunogenicity in experimental animals for rapid detection of more virulent h. pylori isolates. material and methods: sarcosine...

background: concerns have been raised about the possibility of a predisposition of kawasaki disease (kd) to abnormal lipid profile after an acute phase of disease, which can predispose them to premature atherosclerosis later in life. we determined the lipid profile of children late after kd, and compared it with controls. methods: this historical cohort was conducted on 32 subjects: 16 children...

The Scene Graph Generation (SGG) task aims to detect all the objects and their pairwise visual relationships in a given image. Although SGG has achieved remarkable progress over last few years, almost existing models follow same training paradigm: they treat both object predicate classification as single-label problem, ground-truths are one-hot target labels. However, this prevalent paradigm ov...

We propose a simple variant of kd-trees, called rankbased kd-trees, for sets of points in R. We show that a rank-based kd-tree, like an ordinary kd-tree, supports range search queries in O(n1−1/d + k) time, where k is the output size. The main advantage of rank-based kd-trees is that they can be efficiently kinetized: the KDS processes O(n) events in the worst case, assuming that the points fol...

mycobacterium tuberculosis (h37rv strain) was used in this study. the bacterial cells were disintegrated by sonication. the separation and characterization of the soluble molecules were attempted by various techniques including gel filtration, ion exchange chromatographies and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, using sds and 2me. eight protein molecules with molecular weights ranging from 6.3 ...
