C-class functions with new approach on coincidence point results for generalized (ψ,φ)-weakly contractions in ordered b-metric spaces
(
SpringerOpen
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, by using the C-class functions and a new approach we present some coincidence point results for four mappings satisfying generalized (ψ,φ) -weakly contractive condition in the setting of ordered b-metric ...

Time Dependent Assessment of Morphological Changes: Leukodepleted Packed Red Blood Cells Stored in SAGM
(
Hindawi
, 2016 , Article)
Usually packed red blood cells (pRBCs) require specific conditions in storage procedures to ensure the maximum shelf life of up to 42 days in 2–6°C. However, molecular and biochemical consequences can affect the stored ...
Sparsity-aware multiple relay selection in large multi-hop decode-and-forward relay networks
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, we propose and investigate two novel techniques to perform multiple relay selection in large multi-hop decode-and-forward relay networks. The two proposed techniques exploit sparse signal recovery theory to ...
Lecturing skills as predictors of tutoring skills in a problem-based medical curriculum
(
Dove Press
, 2016 , Article)
Purpose: Recruitment of tutors to work in problem-based learning (PBL) programs is challenging, especially in that most of them are graduated from discipline-based programs. Therefore, this study aims at examining whether ...

Robust normalization protocols for multiplexed fluorescence bioimage analysis
(
BioMed Central
, 2016 , Article)
The study of mapping and interaction of co-localized proteins at a sub-cellular level is
important for understanding complex biological phenomena. One of the recent
techniques to map co-localized proteins is to use the ...

Objectives
Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of mental and behavioral disorders in preschoolers is critical for a better prognosis, ultimately leading to improved quality of life for both the child and the family. ...
RPL13A and EEF1A1 Are Suitable Reference Genes for qPCR during Adipocyte Differentiation of Vascular Stromal Cells from Patients with Different BMI and HOMA-IR
(
Public Library of Science (PLoS)
, 2016 , Article)
Real-time or quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a useful technique that requires reliable reference genes for data normalization in gene expression analysis. Adipogenesis is among the biological processes suitable for this technique. ...
Promoter–enhancer looping at the PPARγ2 locus during adipogenic differentiation requires the Prmt5 methyltransferase
(
Oxford University Press
, 2016 , Article)
PPARγ2 is a critical lineage-determining transcription factor that is essential for adipogenic differentiation. Here we report characterization of the three-dimensional structure of the PPARγ2 locus after the onset of ...
