A weighted splicing system is a restriction of splicing systems in which weights are associated with the axioms, and the weight of a string z generated from two strings x and y is computed from the weights of x and y according to some operations defined on the weights. In this paper we study the computational power of weighted splicing systems cons

In the sake brewing, expression is used for the separation of liquid from the fermentation broth. Although the period of expression has to be as short as possible in order to prevent the sake from losing flavour, practically it takes longer time to complete expression because of the highly compressible materials (e.g. proteins and starch) in the br

Summary Atomic correlations have been studied in physics for over 50 years and known as collective effects until recently when they came to be recognized as a source of entanglement. This is the first book that contains detailed and comprehensive analysis of two currently extensively studied subjects of atomic and quantum physics—atomic correlati

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between Doppler SD-OCT derived retinal blood flow (RBF) and the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and healthy age-matched controls. Methods: Thirty three POAG patients (age, 65±8 years; Humphrey Field Analyzer, HFA, mean deviation, MD, -2.28±3.85

Islam permits polygamy to preserve women’s dignity and to safeguard the social, moral and economic well-being of wives and their children. Unfortunately, a number of polygamous marriages among Muslims in Malaysia registered at the local ‘Shariah Courts’ are problematic and “misleading” as they do not reflect the teachings of Islam and its

The contributing molecular pathways underlying the pathogenesis of breast cancer need to be better characterized. The principle of our study was to better understand the genetic mechanism of oncogenesis for human breast cancer and to discover new possible tumor markers of use in clinical practice. We used cDNA microarrays to compare gene expression
