according to the rules of quadruplet relations between concepts, muslim logicians have proved that relation between the negations of two concepts which are equal (musawi) or absolute-general-and-specific (‘amm wa khas-e mutlaq) are, respectively, equal and absolute-specific-and-general; but these rules come across some problems when the most inclusive concepts are involved, since the negation o...

Fatty acids (FA) modify DNA methylation in vitro, but limited information is available on whether corresponding associations exist in vivo and reflect any short-term effect of the diet. Associations between global DNA methylation and FAs were sought in blood from lactating infants (LI; n = 49) and adult males (AMM; n = 12) equally distributed across the three conventional BMI classes. AMM provi...

We designed three polyamine analogues, 1,14-diamino-N5-methyl-5,10- diazatetradecane (5me-4-4-4), 1,14-diamino-N5,N5-dimethyl-5,10-diazatetradecane (Q-Amm-4-4-4), and 1,14-bis-(ethylamino)-N5,N5-dimethyl-5,10-diazatetradecane (BE-Q-Amm-4-4-4), on the basis of computer modeling and physical-chemical studies of polyamine-DNA interactions. These analogues differ from natural polyamines and from on...

Anatomic M-mode (AMM) is an echocardiographic technique that is capable of generating M-mode studies from two-dimensional (2D) cine loops. Unlike conventional M-mode (CMM) whose scan line must lie along the axis of the ultrasound signal, AMM produces M-mode studies independent of the orientation of the ultrasound beam. We sought to determine the ability of AMM to measure cardiac dimensions in n...

The venom of the scorpion Androctonus mauretanicus mauretanicus was screened by use of a specific serum directed against AaH II, the scorpion alpha-toxin of reference, with the aim of identifying new analogues. This led to the isolation of Amm VIII (7382.57 Da), which gave a highly positive response in ELISA, but was totally devoid of toxicity when injected subcutaneously into mice. In voltage-...

We introduce co-occurring directions sketching, a deterministic algorithm for approximate matrix product (AMM), in the streaming model. We show that co-occurring directions achieves a better error bound for AMM than other randomized and deterministic approaches for AMM. Co-occurring directions gives a (1 + ")-approximation of the optimal low rank approximation of a matrix product. Empirically o...

Associative memory, in the form of lookup tables, is a promising approach to improving energy efficiency by enabling computing-with-memory. A processing element can be tightly coupled with an associative memory where function responses are pre-stored. Associative memories can recall function responses for a subset of input values therefore avoiding the actual function execution on the processin...

Vetiver [Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty syn. Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Nash] commonly known as khas-khas, khas, khus-khus or khus grass belongs to the family Poaceae. The roots of this grass on steam distillation yield an essential oil mainly consisting of sesquiterpenes (3-4 %), sesquiterpenols (18-25 %) and sesquiterpenones (7-8 %). Among these, the major economically important active ...
