For many centuries, the metals are used as the antibacterial factors. Whereas, the nanoparticles are mostly heavy metal oxides, they have a high tendency to interact with biological molecules and develop the deactivation or elimination of the virus or bacteria. In the present study, the antibacterial effect of Cadmium Oxide nanoparticles on Pseudomonas Aeruginosa bacteria was analyzed which are...

This paper introduces a formulation of the optimal network compression problem for financial systems. general is presented different levels or rerouting allowed from initial interbank network. We prove that this is, generically, NP-hard. focus on objective functions generated by systemic risk measures under shocks to use framework study (sub)optimality maximally compressed conclude studying spe...

Given a graph G, we say S ⊆ V (G) is resolving if for each pair of distinct u, v ∈ V (G) there is a vertex x in S where d(u, x) 6= d(v, x). The metric dimension of G is the minimum cardinality of all resolving sets. For w ∈ V (G), the distance from w to S, denoted d(w, S), is the minimum distance between w and the vertices of S. Given P = {P1, P2, . . . , Pk} an ordered partition of V (G) we sa...

Presenter: Omid Salehi MD | Saint Elizabeth's Medical Center Background: Inaccurate clinical staging of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) may impact not only on prognostication but also treatment, resulting in chemotherapeutic and surgical over- undertreatment. This study assesses factors associated stage migration stratified by treatment sequence (i.e. upfront surgery (UFS)...

Very recently, the first mathematical runtime analyses for NSGA-II, most common multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, have been conducted. Continuing this research direction, we prove that NSGA-II optimizes OneJumpZeroJump benchmark asymptotically faster when crossover is employed. Together with a parallel independent work by Dang, Opris, Salehi, and Sudholt, time such an advantage of proven ...

Received Jan. 2012; Received in revised form June 2012; Accepted June 2012. ABSTRACT Statement of Problem: After 30 years of intermittent reports in the literature, the use of fiber-reinforcement is just now experiencing rapid expansion in dentistry. However, there are some controversy reports in the amounts of flexural strength of fiber reinforced composites to use them as bridges. Purpose: Th...

In an optical multiple-access system, overall system throughput efficiency and significant implementation costreduction would be achieved if many users could access a common optical channel at any time without control among users. Recently one such scheme, an optical orthogonal code division multipleaccess system (OOCDMA), was introduced by Salehi et al. 111-[6] for the case of no noise. In thi...

We study here rigorous analytical upper bounds on the block and bit error probabilities of ML decoded block codes, operating over fully interleaved Rician fading channels. The proposed improved bounding technique is a modified and generalized version of the recently introduced bounds for the AWGN channel by Duman and Salehi, which are based on modifying the classical Gallager technique. The adv...
