Seventy-five clonal populations of morphologically transformed 10T1/2 cells were established from independent Type II and Type III foci that were of spontaneous origin or were induced by the carcinogenic agents N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, benzo(a)pyrene diol epoxide-I, and 3-methylcholanthrene. Clonal populations were characterized for expression of selected transformation phenotypes,...

In this paper, a method based on clonal selection algorithm (CLONALG) is proposed for null steering of linear antenna arrays by controlling only the positions of selected elements. The CLONALG is a relatively novel population-based evolutionary algorithm inspired by the clonal selection principle of the human immune system. In order to illustrate the accuracy and flexibility of the proposed alg...

Clonal plants grow in diameter rather than height, and therefore competition among genets is likely to be symmetric and to result in smaller variation in size of genets than in non-clonal plants. Moreover, clonal plants can reproduce both sexually and vegetatively. We studied the effects of density on the size of rosettes and of clones, variation in the size of rosettes and of clones, and alloc...

the integration of an approximate model and a clonal selection algorithm (csa) is considered to one of the most effective ways to solve complex optimization design problems in engineering. in this study, first, a process for developing an approximate model and the principles of clonal selection algorithms were presented. then, a variotherm temperature injection mold used to produce a large liqu...

We describe a microarray-based approach for the high-throughput screening of gene function in stem cells and demonstrate the potential of this method by growing and isolating clonal populations of both adult and embryonic neural stem cells. Clonal microarrays are constructed by seeding a population of cells at clonal density on micropatterned surfaces generated using soft lithographic microfabr...
