Virtual Force Algorithm (VFA) is becoming a main solution to area coverage forhomogeneous wireless sensor networks with random distribution of mobile sensor nodes.Consider the factors of the convergence, the boundary in Region Of Interest (ROI), effec-tive distance of acting force and useless moving, etc, VFA is improved to overcome the aboveproblems. Furthermore, an expression of exponential f...

Antibodies raised in heterologous species against tumorassociated antigens such as ferritin and carcinoembryonic antigen may be utilized in diagnostic scanning and in cancer therapy. The radiolabeled (131I)antibodies have a mean effec tive half-life of 3 days. The tumor-bearing regions retain activity which was associated with objective evidence of remission in primary hepatic cancers. Major or...

The effect of combining chemotherapy and immunostimulation, induced by a chemical, against a murine lymphoid leukemia was investigated. When tetramisole or levamisole were used following one administration of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-l-nitrosourea, a significantly higher percentage of long-term surviviors occurred in contrast to the groups of animals treated with drug or immunostimulant alone. Th...

ayurveda, manoeuvres mankind to head a healthy life in order to pursue four-fold bliss. with a view to combat physical and mental annoyances, classics have explicated two-fold therapeutic modalities; langhana/depletion and brihmana/nourishing. upavasa /fasting is one among ten depletion therapies explained. it is envisioned at all three levels of ayurvedic therapies- rational/objectively planne...

actical implications for stakeholders:  A panel of genes has been identified which may se growth and development in cattle.  Farmers exploit the compensatory growth phenomen over the winter. We have shown that muscle tissu realimentation, following a period of restricted feed int  Animals subjected to nutritional restriction exhibit hig ad libitum access to feed.  While compensatory growth ...

A nonuniform sheet of ions gene rated at time t = 0 diffuses in a cylindrical ion d iffu sion tube containing a nonreac ting ne utral species Rowing with parabolic velocity di s tribution. Calc ulation of the on·axis ion density at a point z downstream as a fun ction of time t is reduced to a single numeri ca l inte· gration for each (z, t ) involving some fun ctions which have been computed on...

An experimental investigation of the length effect as a function of collisions in the sheath of a slightly ionized hypersonic flow regime for cylindrical ion collecting probes is undertaken. The results indicate a strong dependence of the length effec: on the number of collisions in the sheath and also on the degree of ionization of the media. This research was supported by the Advanced Researc...

cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of human morbidity and mortality despite significant therapeutic improvements by surgical or pharmacological approaches in the last decade. micrornas (mirnas) have a significant role in diseases development or response to treatment. in this review, we summarized the role of mirnas in the pathogenesis or the treatment of coronary artery disease ...
