Outer causes inner conflicts: environment and autoimmunity.
Autoimmune diseases are some of the most common yet least understood maladies in medicine today. Some estimates place the number of sufferers of such diseases as high as 20% of the U.S. population, most of them women. The disorders involved range from the familiar to the relatively uncommon to the obscure. What these disorders have in common is that they cause the immune system to attack the bo...
متن کاملEnvironment, Autoantibodies, and Autoimmunity
INTRODUCTION Susceptibility to autoimmune disease is multifactorial and includes genetic predisposition, gender, ethnicity, age, and environment. While no single factor has been identified as preeminent, the role of the environment has garnered increasing interest. This reflects the ubiquitous nature of the environment, which encompasses everything around us including the air we breathe, the wa...
متن کاملStress Waves in a Generalized Thermo Elastic Polygonal Plate of Inner and Outer Cross Sections
The stress wave propagation in a generalized thermoelastic polygonal plate of inner and outer cross sections is studied using the Fourier expansion collocation method. The wave equation of motion based on two-dimensional theory of elasticity is applied under the plane strain assumption of generalized thermoelastic plate of polygonal shape, composed of homogeneous isotropic material. The freque...
متن کاملAdaptive Inner - Outer Inverse Iteration
Inverse iteration is a standard technique for nding selected eigenvectors associated with eigenvalues which are known approximately. At each step the solution of a linear system of equations is required, which is usually done by factorizing the system matrix. When direct factorization is impractical, iterative methods can be applied for solving the linear systems. Several results about terminat...
متن کاملInformation system conflicts: causes and types
Conflicts are an inherent part of organizational life and managers deal with confrontations and conflicts on an almost daily basis. Information Systems (IS) implementations are a type of change that often leads to open or hidden conflicts. Managers and others involved can only deal with such conflicts effectively if they understand the nature and causes of information system conflicts (IS confl...
