The magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) is a widely employed technique for the characterization of ferromagnetic thin films. However, a quantitative analysis is usually hampered by the lacking knowledge of precise magneto-optical parameters. We report the thickness dependence (0–60 nm) of the linear and quadratic MOKE in epitaxial bcc-Fe(001) samples and extract a complete set of parameters for ...

basal cell carcinoma (bcc) is currently the most common cutaneous cancer found in humans. although it generally shows a relatively benign course (bccl), some cases show aggressive behavior (bcc2). until recently, traditional histologic diagnostic criteria have failed to discriminate unequivocally between bcc 1 and bcc2. in this study we selected 50 cases of bcc and categorized them into two gro...

Intracellular bacteria are characterized by genome reduction. The 422,434-base pair genome of Buchnera aphidicola BCc, primary endosymbiont of the aphid Cinara cedri, is approximately 200 kilobases smaller than the previously sequenced B. aphidicola genomes. B. aphidicola BCc has lost most metabolic functions, including the ability to synthesize the essential amino acid tryptophan and riboflavi...

BACKGROUND Arborizing vessels (AVs) are dermoscopically defined as telangiectasias with distinct treelike branching, and are a characteristic feature of basal cell carcinoma (BCC). However, AVs are observed in various conditions other than BCC. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate skin diseases showing AV and investigates dermoscopic differences between BCC and non-BCC. METHOD...

The concept of fuzzy multiply positive BCC-ideals of BCC-algebras is introduced, and then some related results are obtained. Moreover, we introduce the concept of T -fuzzy multiply positive implicative BCC-ideals of BCC-algebras and investigate T -product of T -fuzzy multiply positive implicative BCC-ideals of BCC-algebras, examining its properties. Using a t-norm T , the direct product and T -...

In the theory of rings, the properties of derivations are important. In [15], Jun and Xin applied the notion of derivations in ring and near-ring theory to BCI-algebras, and they also introduced a new concept called a regular derivation in BCI-algebras. They investigated some properties of its .In this manuscript, the concept of fuzzy left (right) derivations BCCideals in BCC-algebras is introd...

Smoothened antagonists directly target the genetic basis of human basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common of all cancers. These drugs inhibit BCC growth, but they are not curative. Although BCC cells are monomorphic, immunofluorescence microscopy reveals a complex hierarchical pattern of growth with inward differentiation along hair follicle lineages. Most BCC cells express the transcriptio...

Binaural Cue Coding (BCC) is a method for multichannel spatial rendering based on one down-mixed audio channel and BCC side information. The BCC side information has a low data rate and it is derived from the multichannel encoder input signal. A natural application of BCC is multichannel audio data rate reduction since only a single down-mixed audio channel needs to be transmitted. An alternati...

BACKGROUND A higher prevalence for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) has been associated with radiation, namely with tinea capitis epilation treatment. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of head and neck basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and to identify the major risk factors for BCC in individuals irradiated in childhood for tinea capitis treatment. METHODS We clinically observed 1,308 individuals fro...

Burkholderia is an important bacterial genus with a complex taxonomy that contains species of both ecological and pathogenic importance, including nine closely related species collectively termed the Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC). In order to more thoroughly investigate the virulence of this bacterial complex of microorganisms, alternative infection models would be useful. To this end, we ...
