Background: Peripheral giant cell lesion (PGCL) and central giant cell lesion (CGCL) of the jaws have a distinct clinical behavior.Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a benign locally aggressive neoplasm affects the long bones. Both lesions are characterized histologically by multinucleated giant cells in a background of ovoid to spindle-shaped mesenchymal cells. The WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) gene is located at 16q23.1–16q23.2, a region that spans the second most common human fragile site, FRA16D, at 16q23.2.The Ki-67 antigen is a nuclear protein that is associated with and may be necessary for cellular proliferation.Ki-67 protein is present during all active phases of the cell cycle (G1, S, G2, and mitosis), but is absent from resting cells (G0). This study aimed to evaluate and compare immunohistochemical expression of tumor suppressor gene (WWOX) and proliferative marker (ki67) in giant cell lesions (GCLs) of the jaws and long bones. Materials and methods: Forty five retrospective paraffin embedded tissue blocks of giant cell lesions of the jaw and long bones were included in this study.Sections were stained immunohistochemically with anti WWOX and anti ki67 monoclonal antibodies. Results: Positive WWOX expression was found in 12 cases (80%), 14cases (93.3%)and12 (80%) of CGCG, PGCG and GCT studied cases respectively, with thehighest strong positive expression observed in PGCG.Positive Ki67 expression was found in 12 cases (80% ), 13cases ( 86.7 % )and10(66.7%) of CGCG,PGCG and GCT studied cases respectively with the high proliferative expression score has been recorded in PGCG .Statistically highly significant difference was found in the Ki67expression among different giant lesion types (p=0.006), whilenon-significant difference was found in WWOX expression. Non-significant correlation was found between expression of WWOXand Ki67 in CGCG, PGCG and GCT studied cases. Conclusions: Similar immunohistochemical expression of WWOX and Ki67 ingiant cell lesions of the jaw and GCT of long boneswith non-significant correlation between them in different studied lesionssuggests that those lesions may be the same disease but with different clinical behavior. Keywords: Wwox, KI67.
In this paper, a design of the broadband thin metamaterial absorber (MMA) is presented. Compared with the previously reported metamaterial absorbers, the proposed structure provides a wide bandwidth with a compatible overall size. The designed absorber consists of a combination of octagon disk and split octagon resonator to provide a wide bandwidth over the Ku and K bands' frequency range. Cheap FR-4 material is chosen to be a substate of the proposed absorber with 1.6 thicknesses and 6.5×6.5 overall unit cell size. CST Studio Suite was used for the simulation of the proposed absorber. The proposed absorber provides a wide absorption bandwidth of 14.4 GHz over a frequency range of 12.8-27.5 GHz with more than %90 absorp

This feature allows for the early identification of potential issues with machinery, preventing them from reaching critical stages. This paper proposes an intelligent predictive maintenance system for industrial equipment monitoring. The system integrates Industrial IoT, MQTT messaging and machine learning algorithms. Vibration, current and temperature sensors collect real-time data from electrical motors which is analyzed using five ML models to detect anomalies and predict failures, enabling proactive maintenance. The MQTT protocol is used for efficient com

It mixes Generative Adversarial Networks with a key system that can change with context. The method may potentially mean it can adjust itself when new threats appear, instead of a fixed lock like AES. It tries to block brute‑force, statistical tricks, or quantum attacks. The design adds randomness, uses learning, and makes keys that depend on each image. That should give very good security, some flexibility, and keep compute cost low. Tests still ran on several public image sets. Results show DGEN beats AES, chaos tricks, and other GAN ideas. Entropy reached 7.99 bits per pix
... Show MoreThis study employs wavelet transforms to address the issue of boundary effects. Additionally, it utilizes probit transform techniques, which are based on probit functions, to estimate the copula density function. This estimation is dependent on the empirical distribution function of the variables. The density is estimated within a transformed domain. Recent research indicates that the early implementations of this strategy may have been more efficient. Nevertheless, in this work, we implemented two novel methodologies utilizing probit transform and wavelet transform. We then proceeded to evaluate and contrast these methodologies using three specific criteria: root mean square error (RMSE), Akaike information criterion (AIC), and log
