Particle swarm optimization for the Steiner tree in graph and delay-constrained multicast routing problems (2013)
Journal Article

This paper presents the first investigation on applying a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to both the Steiner tree problem and the delay constrained multicast routing problem. Steiner tree problems, being the underlining models of many ap... Read More about Particle swarm optimization for the Steiner tree in graph and delay-constrained multicast routing problems.

Ovarian expression of Insulin-Like peptide 3 (INSL3) and its receptor (RXFP2) during development of bovine antral follicles and corpora lutea and measurement of circulating INSL3 levels during synchronized estrous cycles (2013)
Journal Article

Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3), a major product of testicular Leydig cells, is also expressed by the ovary, but its functional role remains poorly understood. Here, we quantified expression of INSL3 and its receptor RXFP2 in theca interna cell (TIC)...
