Disjunctive and conjunctive decompositions of incompletely defined Boolean functions in a Binary Decision Diagram by P. N. Bibilo

“…The proposed algorithms can be generalized to other types of algebraic decompositions, when, in addition to the logical operations of disjunction and conjunction, negations of these operations can be used. The application of the proposed algorithms and already known algorithms for minimizing multilevel BDD representations of partial function systems allows us to obtain the best results of technologically independent logical optimization, the initial stage of logic circuit synthesis.…”

The Presence and Anti-HIV-1 Function of Tenascin C in Breast Milk and Genital Fluids. by Robin G Mansour, Lisa Stamper, Frederick Jaeger, Erin McGuire, Genevieve Fouda, Joshua Amos, Kimberly Barbas, Tomoo Ohashi, S Munir Alam, Harold Erickson, Sallie R Permar

“…Tenascin-C (TNC) is a newly identified innate HIV-1-neutralizing protein present in breast milk, yet its presence and potential HIV-inhibitory function in other mucosal fluids is unknown. In this study, we identified TNC as a component of semen and cervical fluid of HIV-1-infected and uninfected individuals, although it is present at a significantly lower concentration and frequency compared to that of colostrum and mature breast milk, potentially due to genital fluid protease degradation. …”

Self-Directed Neurofeedback Treatment for Subjective Tinnitus Patients Evaluated by Multimodal Functional Imaging by Xiaoyan Ma, Fangyuan Wang, Chi Zhang, Weidong Shen, Shiming Yang

“…Those in the NFB group underwent 15 NFB training sessions over 5 weeks, in addition to pre- and posttraining tests including the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire (THQ), visual analog scales (VAS), electroencephalography (EEG), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Our result find that when the THI, THQ, and VAS scores of patients in the two groups were assessed after a 5-week training period, these scores were unchanged in control patients whereas they had significantly improved in the NFB group patients. …”
