Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesInteraction of a C-terminal Truncated Hepatitis C Virus Core Protein with Plasmid DNA Vaccine Leads to in vitro Assembly of Heterogeneous Virus-like ParticlesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Joanna Poutou, Alexis Mussachio et al.Recently, it has been shown that HCV core proteins (HCcAg) with C-terminal deletions assemble in vitro into virus-like particles (VLPs) in the presence of structured RNA molecules. Results presented in this work showed that a truncated HCcAg variant covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120) with a 32 aa N-terminal fusion peptide (6xHistag-XpressTMepitope) interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine. Interestingly, the buoyant … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,756 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEvidences of Apoptosis in Hepatitis C Virus-Infected Hepatocytes and Peripheral Blood Monocuclear Cells in the Absence of Liver InjuryViviana Falcón, Nelson Acosta-Rivero, Mineko Shibayama et al.Understanding the mechanism of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) pathogenesis is an important part of HCV research. In this study, the presence of apoptosis in HCV-infected liver and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) from patients positive for anti-HCV antibodies and negative for serum HCV-RNA was investigated. The samples obtained from 21 patients were studied by in situ Hybridization (ISH), Immunofluorescence, TUNEL … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,984 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEvidences of Hepatitis C Virus Replication in Hepatocytes and Peripheral Blood Monocuclear Cells from Patients Negative for Viral RNA in SerumViviana Falcón, Nelson Acosta-Rivero, Mineko Shibayama et al.In this study, we examined the expression of hepatitis C virus (HCV) components in hepatocytes and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients positive for anti-HCV antibodies and negative for serum HCV-RNA. The samples obtained from 25 randomly selected patients (13 of 25 patients showed no histological evidences of chronic hepatitis and had normal serum ALAT and GGTP levels) were … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,173 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDetection of HCV Components and Pathological Reactions in Apoptotic Hepatocytes from Chronically HCV-infected PatientsViviana Falcón, Nelson Acosta-Rivero, Mineko Shibayama et al.Analysis of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-infected hepatocytes at the cellular level may contribute to elucidate the mechanisms of HCV pathogenesis. In this work, the presence of HCV components and pathological reactions in apoptotic hepatocytes from chronic HCV-infected patients were studied by electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. Eight samples of liver biopsies from patients with chronic hepatitis C were studied by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Designing Framework for Ant Colony Algorithm for Managing Cognitive InsomniaRoqia Rateb, Amal Shorman, Ahmad Sami Al-Shamayleh et al.Insomnia, a condition characterized by poor sleep quality, significantly impacts cognitive function, mood, and overall well-being. Traditional treatments like medication and psychological therapies, while effective, often come with limitations such as high costs and limited scalability. This study addresses these challenges by proposing an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm-based approach to create a dynamic support network for individuals suffering from … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 7 · 7 Jul 2025 · 3,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Optimized Machine Learning Approach for Early Prediction of Heart Disease Using Bio-Inspired AlgorithmsIndira Priyadarsini, I.S. Siva Rao, P. Swetha et al.This study presents a novel approach for early prediction of heart disease using bio-inspired optimization algorithms to select and optimize features. The proposed approach utilizes a Genetic Algorithm (GA), Bat Algorithm (BA), Bee Algorithm (BA), and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to optimize a set of four features for improved prediction accuracy. The optimization process aims to identify the most relevant … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 4 Dec 2024 · 5,235 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBio-inspired Search Approach Cross-Domain Location Mapping for Smart Mobile Service SystemIsrael Edem Agbehadji, Abdultaofeek Abayomi, Murimo B. Mutanga et al.The health care service sector is very critical in every country. Although governments have made significant efforts to improve health infrastructure and train more qualified health professionals, the majority of them cannot find jobs within public health facilities. Furthermore, patients queue at health care facilities for hours daily for basic health care services while job creation and reducing these long … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 26 Apr 2022 · 6,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ant Colony Optimization and Genetic Algorithm for Rule InductionHayder Naser Khraibet AL-Behadili, Ku Ruhana Ku-Mahamud, Rafid SagbanIn this study, a hybrid rule-based classifier namely, ant colony optimization/genetic algorithm ACO/GA is introduced to improve the classification accuracy of Ant-Miner classifier by using GA. The Ant-Miner classifier is efficient, useful and commonly used for solving rule-based classification problems in data mining. Ant-Miner, which is an ACO variant, suffers from local optimization problem which affects its performance. In our … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 7 · 24 Jul 2020 · 7,905 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModified ACS Centroid Memory for Data ClusteringAyad Mohammed Jabbar, Ku Ruhana Ku-Mahamud, Rafid SagbanAnt Colony Optimization (ACO) is a generic algorithm, which has been widely used in different application domains due to its simplicity and adaptiveness to different optimization problems. The key component that governs the search process in this algorithm is the management of its memory model. In contrast to other algorithms, ACO explicitly utilizes an adaptive memory, which is important to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 10 · 11 Oct 2019 · 7,647 accessesView PDFCite
