Background and purpose: Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) planning for head and neck cancer is a complex process.While the lowest achievable dose for each individual organ-at-risk (OAR) is unknown a priori, artificial intelligence (AI) holds promise as a tool to accurately estimate the expected dose distribution for OARs.We prospectively inve

In this research, Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) harboring an expression vector constructed with a rhamnose-inducible promoter and a pelB signal peptide was used as a host cell to produce MPT64 protein.The objective of this research was to figure out the optimum time of mpt64 gene expression through real-time monitoring of MPT64 protein production and

Background: Fusion of Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) to a DNA construct might be considered as a strategy to enhance cellular and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) responses of a Hepatitis C Virus core protein (HCVcp)-based DNA vaccine comparable to that of adjuvanted protein (subunit) immunization.Materials and Methods: pCHCORE Flying Disc

The flesh color of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is an important fruit quality trait that helps to determine fruit attractiveness and is potentially beneficial to human health.Previous inheritance analyses determined that a single dominant gene, Yscr, produces the scarlet red flesh color rather than the coral red flesh color in watermelon.However,

The application of compressed sensing (CS) to biomedical imaging is sensational since it permits a rationally accurate reconstruction of images by exploiting the image sparsity.The quality of CS reconstruction methods largely depends on the use of various sparsifying transforms, such as wavelets, curvelets or total variation (TV), to recover MR ima
