b a ckground: the objective of this study was to assess the epidemiological characteristics of a new emerging focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) in southern villages of bam district, southeastern iran, 2010. m e t hods: a house-to- house census survey of 5544 individuals were interviewed and physically examined for the presence of active lesions or scars. diagnosis was confirmed by direct sm...

A hexagonal ferrite-based millimeter wave notch filter was demonstrated. The filter consists of an M-type BaFe12O19 BaM slab sitting on top of a stripline. The band-stop filtering response originates from the ferromagnetic resonance absorption in the BaM slab. The BaM slab has an in-plane uniaxial anisotropy field of 17 kOe. This anisotropy field facilitates the operation of the filter beyond 5...

Microarrays of living cells are an emerging tool in systems such as reverse transfection. These studies are limited to adherent cells partly because of the difficulty of cell immobilization. Using a newly developed reagent, the biocompatible anchor for membrane (BAM), we show herein the rapid and strong attachment of living nonadherent cells and adherent cells on BAM-modified surfaces. Normal c...

Mitochondria are organelles derived from an intracellular alpha-proteobacterium. The biogenesis of mitochondria relies on the assembly of beta-barrel proteins into the mitochondrial outer membrane, a process inherited from the bacterial ancestor. Caulobacter crescentus is an alpha-proteobacterium, and the BAM (beta-barrel assembly machinery) complex was purified and characterized from this mode...

ion wells (29). Not only the pesticides themselves are monitored, selected stable metabolites 8 are also included and often these are detected more frequently than the pesticide itself (3). The most 9 commonly encountered pesticide residue in Danish groundwater is 2,6-dichlorobenzamide (BAM). 10 BAM is a metabolite produced from partial degradation of the benzonitrile herbicide 2,611 dichlorobe...

Recovering texture information from the aliasing regions has always been a major challenge for single image super-resolution (SISR) task. These are often submerged in noise so that we have to restore details while suppressing noise. To address this issue, propose an efficient Balanced Attention Mechanism (BAM), which consists of Avgpool Channel Module (ACAM) and Maxpool Spatial (MSAM) parallel....

In this paper, by employing a new Lyapunov functional and an elementary inequality analysis technique, some sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the existence and uniqueness of periodic oscillatory solution for fuzzy bi-directional memory (BAM) neural networks with time-varying delays, and all other solutions of the fuzzy BAM neural networks converge the uniqueness periodic solution. The...

This paper presents the recognition features of Bengali text using BAM (Bidirectional Associative Memories) neural network with a proposal of feature extraction procedure of a Bengali character. To do this, the conventional methods are used for text scanning to segmentation of a text line to a single character. In this paper an efficient procedure is proposed for boundary extraction, scaling of...

Bidirectional Associative Memories (BAM) based on Kosko’s model are implemented through iterative algorithms and present stability problems. Also, these models along with other models based on different methods, have not been able to perfectly recall all trained patterns. In this paper we present an English-Spanish / Spanish-English translator based on a new BAM model denominated Alpha-Beta BAM...

This paper describes the error probability of the second order BAM estimated by a computer simulation and an analytical calculation method. The computer simulation suggests that the iterations to retrieve a library pattern almost converge within four times and the difference between once and twice is much larger than that between twice and four times. The error probability at the output of the ...
