In this paper we prove that the surface of the regular truncated tetrahedron can be triangulated into 10 non-obtuse geodesic triangles, and also into 12 acute geodesic triangles. Furthermore, we show that both triangulations have minimal size.

conclusions the results of the present study showed that the baculovirus expression system (sf9 cells) was able to express truncated orf2 and truncated orf2-nsp4 proteins as a potential candidate vaccine. background the hepatitis e virus (hev) accounts for hepatitis e infection with relatively high mortality rate in pregnant women that can lead to fulminant hepatitis. the baculovirus expression...

In this paper, the buckling of non-homogeneous isotropic truncated conical shells under uniform lateral pressure and resting on a Winkler foundation is investigated. The basic relations and governing equations have been obtained for non-homogeneous truncated conical shells. The critical uniform lateral pressures of non-homogeneous isotropic truncated conical shells with or without a Winkler fou...

conclusions the results of this study demonstrated that the tpasp-padre-truncated orf2 gene cassette and the truncated orf2 gene in recombinant plasmids are successfully expressed in eukaryotic cells. the immunogenicity of the two recombinant plasmids with different formulations will be evaluated as a novel dna vaccine in future investigations. results sequence analysis and bioinformatics studi...

volume estimation of most agricultural products using mathematical methods is not accurate because of their irregular shape. an alternative method is image processing, which can be used in continuous sorting machines. the objective of this study is to find a practical method for volume estimation of potatoes using image processing. fifty potatoes (marfona variety) were selected as experimental ...

We compute the asymptotical growth rate of a large family of Uq.sl2/ 6j –symbols and we interpret our results in geometric terms by relating them to volumes of hyperbolic truncated tetrahedra. We address a question which is strictly related with S Gukov’s generalized volume conjecture and deals with the case of hyperbolic links in connected sums of S S . We answer this question for the infinite...

Introduction: Glycoprotein B (gB) is the major antigen for induction of humoral responses against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) making it an attractive candidate for immune prophylaxis. In the present study, the humoral immune response of BALB/c mice to a truncated HCMV gB protein fused with GFP was evaluated. Methods: The truncated gB coding sequence was synthesized and cloned in pEGFPN1 eukary...
