BACKGROUND The traditional vitrification method cannot keep up with the increased culture and propagation efficiency required to cryopreserve large quantities of vigorously proliferating human embryonic stem (HES) cells. In this study, we describe a newly invented vitrification carrier for cryopreserving large amount of HES cells and evaluate whether this bulk vitrification (BV) method is as ef...

Points-to analysis for Java is di erent from points-to for C or even C++. We present a framework whi h generalizes popular points-to algorithms and generates set onstraints from full Java byte ode. The framework exploits previously omputed points-to sets in a xpoint iteration for pre ise resolution of dynami binding. We then ompare implementations of this framework for uni ation-based and subse...

this paper presents a comparison between variational iteration method (vim) and modfied variational iteration method (mvim) for approximate solution a system of volterra integral equation of the first kind. we convert a system of volterra integral equations to a system of volterra integro-di®erential equations that use vim and mvim to approximate solution of this system and hence obtain an appr...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the common causes of blindness, and hard exudates (HEs) are the primary and early clinical signs of DR. Thus, a reliable detection of HEs is significant for clinical diagnosis and preventing vision loss of patients. In this paper, a novel method is presented to detect HEs automatically in color retinal images. The method consists of two stages: coarse level a...

BACKGROUND Hard exudates (HEs) are the classical sign of diabetic retinopathy (DR) which is one of the leading causes of blindness, especially in developing countries. Accordingly, disease screening involves examining HEs qualitatively using fundus camera. However, for monitoring the treatment response, quantification of HEs becomes crucial and hence clinicians now seek to measure the area of H...

Despite the therapeutic potential of human embryonic stem (HES) cells, many people believe that HES cell research should be banned. The reason is that the present method of extracting HES cells involves the destruction of the embryo, which for many is the beginning of a person. This paper examines a number of compromise solutions such as parthenogenesis, the use of defective embryos, geneticall...

in this paper, elzaki homotopy perturbation method is employed for solving linear and nonlinear differential equations with a variable coffecient. this method is a combination of elzaki transform and homotopy perturbation method. the aim of using elzaki transform is to overcome the deficiencies that mainly caused by unsatised conditions in some semi-analytical methods such as homotopy perturbat...

in this paper, the approximate solution of the differential system modeling hiv infection of cd4+ t cells isobtained by a reliable algorithm based on an adaptation of the standard variational iteration method (vim), which is called the multi-stage variational iteration method(msvim). a comparison between msvim and the fourthorder runge-kutta method (rk4-method) reveal that the proposed techniqu...
