Genuine Immunomodulation With dSLIM

Genuine Immunomodulation With dSLIM

Toll-like receptors are sensing modulators of the innate immune system. One member of this protein family, Toll-like receptor (TLR)-9, is increasingly being investigated as therapeutic target for infectious diseases and cancer. Double-Stem Loop ImmunoModulator (dSLIM) is a new TLR-9 agonist in clinical development for patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma. Compared with other TLR-9 liga...

Genuine versus Non-Genuine Atomic Multicast Protocols

In this paper, we study atomic multicast, a fundamental abstraction for building fault-tolerant systems. We suppose a system composed of data centers, or groups, that host many processes connected through high-end local links; a few groups exist, interconnected through high-latency communication links. In this context, a recent paper has shown that no multicast protocol can deliver messages add...

Faithful Teleportation with Genuine Multipartite Entanglement

In this letter we present an explicit protocol B2 for faithfully teleporting an arbitrary 2-qubit state with a class of 4-qubit entangled states. We construct these states in a way different from that of Yeo and Chua [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 060502 (2006)]. We will show that the genuine states presented by Yeo and Chua are only a subset of our entangled states. The generalizations of the protocol ...

GIzMOs: Genuine Image Mosaics with Adaptive Tiling

We present a method which splits an input image into a set of tiles. Each tile is then replaced by another image from a large database such that, when viewed from a distance, the original image is reproduced as well as possible. While the general concept of image mosaics is not new, we consider our results as "genuine image mosaics" (or short GIzMOs) in the sense that the images from the databa...
