background: according to the international reports, brain stroke is the main reason of death and disability. in ischemic stroke, early and precise classification of patients who may profit from conflicting finest therapeutic interference is necessary if enhanced effects in terms of survival are to be talented. due to uncomplicated, easy performance, and inexpensive method the aim of this prelim...

Molecular modeling is a set of computational techniques for construction of 3D structure of a protein especially membrane bound proteins whose structures can not be elucidated using experimental techniques. These techniques has been applied in the study of membrane metalloproteases for comparing wild and mutated enzymes, docking inhibitors in the catalytic site and examination of binding pocket...

MOTIVATION Most previous approaches to model biochemical networks have focused either on the characterization of a network structure with a number of components or on the estimation of kinetic parameters of a network with a relatively small number of components. For system-level understanding, however, we should examine both the interactions among the components and the dynamic behaviors of the...

After an injury occurs, mechanical/biochemical loads on muscles influence the composition and structure of recovering muscles; this effect likely occurs in other tissues, cells and biological molecules as well owing to the similarity, interassociation and interaction among biochemical reactions and molecules. The 'damage and reconstruction' model provides an explanation for how an ideal cytoarc...

Digital microfluidic systems (DMFS) are a class of lab-on-a-chip systems that manipulate individual droplets of chemicals on an array of electrodes. The biochemical analyses are performed by repeatedly moving, mixing, and splitting droplets on the electrodes. In this paper, we characterize the tree structure of biochemical analyses and identify their minimum resource requirements, towards the d...

There is increasing evidence of activity-related plasticity in auditory pathways. The present study examined the effects of decreased activity on immunolocalization of the inhibitory neurotransmitter glycine in the cochlear nucleus of the rat after bilateral cochlear ablation. Specifically, glycine-immunoreactive puncta adjacent to somatic profiles were compared in normal hearing animals and an...
