BACKGROUND Multiple cognate gene copy clones have often been used in order to increase the yield of recombinant protein expression in the yeast Pichia pastoris. The method of posttransformational vector amplification (PTVA) has allowed for the efficient generation of multi-copy clones in P. pastoris. However, despite its relative ease and success, this process can be expensive and time consumin...

| The Viterbi algorithm (VA) can be reformulated such that the calculations can be performed over a set of independent parallel trellises for a class of sparse channels. This new algorithm named the parallel trellis Viterbi algorithm (PTVA) reduces the complexity of the Viterbi algorithm, however, it has no loss in performance for the special class of intersymbol interference (ISI) channels. Pr...

PURPOSE To investigate dosimetric consequences of patient metal prosthesis in prostate radiotherapy, considering the body heterogeneity, metal artifacts, prostate daily displacements and target delineation. METHODS Three prostate patients with metal prosthesis were simulated with CT images and 3D ultrasound images. Conformal RT treatment plans were generated based on target volumes delineated...
