In this paper we consider Time-Varying Block (TVB) codes, which generalize a number of previous synchronization error-correcting codes. We also consider various practical issues related to MAP decoding of these codes. Specifically, we give an expression for the expected distribution of drift between transmitter and receiver due to synchronization errors. We determine an appropriate choice for s...

Avian leukosis virus (ALV) requires endocytosis and a low pH step for successful viral entry. Here we report that transient treatment with lysosomotropic agents was not sufficient to block ALV subgroup B (ALV-B) entry, while it completely inhibited uptake of the pH-dependent Semliki Forest virus. Extended incubations with lysosomotropic agents were required to block ALV-B entry, suggesting that...

Therapies that target tumor metabolism represent a new horizon in anticancer therapies. In particular, cancer cells are dependent on the generation of lipids, which are essential for cell membrane synthesis, modification of proteins, and localization of many oncogenic signal transduction enzymes. Because fatty acids are the building blocks of these important lipids, fatty acid synthase (FASN) e...

Quality changes of protein and non-protein nitrogen compounds during industrial fishmeal processing fatty pelagic species (mackerel/herring rest material blend, MHB) lean fish (whole blue whiting, BW) were studied to identify steps that require optimization allow production products for human consumption. Samples from protein-rich streams throughout the analyzed proximate composition, salt solu...

In this study, it was aimed to investigate that the effect of drying process on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) roes in terms proximate composition, aw, pH, TVB-N, TBARs, microbiological counts and color parameters. Drying lasted 42 hours including, 18 at 30oC 24 45oC. The dried fish were vacuum-packed (vacuum degree 0.02MPa) stored 4oC for 90th days. crude lipid, protein, ash...

Flesh and fatty acid compositions, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), lipid oxidation aerobic plate count, Enterobacteriaceae , psychrotrophic bacteria were determined in raw smoked mackerel during cold storage (three groups differing way of packaging; unpacked (UP), vacuum packaging (VP) modified atmosphere (MAP) at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 days. The protein, fat content n-3 polyunsaturated a...

in this research green tea extract was prepared with water and then fishes in whole and gutted fish form was dipped in solutions of green tea extract (600 ppm) for 90 minutes and then were icing. during storage period (16 days), spoilage oxidation (pv, ffa, and tba), spoilage microbial indices (tvb-n, tvc, pvc) and sensory assessment with interval of 4 days were measured and compared with contr...

Large amounts of multimodal neuroimaging data are acquired every year worldwide. In order to extract high-dimensional information for computational neuroscience applications standardized data fusion and efficient reduction into integrative data structures are required. Such self-consistent multimodal data sets can be used for computational brain modeling to constrain models with individual meas...

abstract in this study, big-head carp flesh was processed and fish finger was produced by the formula of 1, 2 and 3 with 70, 80 and 93.5 percent of big head fish flesh respectively. then sensory attributes, biochemical changes and nutritional value such as peroxide value (pv), thiobarbituric acid (tba) and the total volatile nitrogen (tvb-n) changes and microbial load of all three formulas were...

the use of natural extracts as one of good antioxidant source is increasing to improve fish quality. the present study aims at investigating antioxidant effect of orange peel extract on the quality of common carp fillet during refrigerated storage (4°c). fish fillets were treated by 0, 1 and 5 % concentration of orange peel extract, packed and then stored in refrigerator. chemical parameters (p...
