IN CONTRAST TO the subfamily of neutrophil and mononuclear chemotactic cytokines (chemokines) upregulated by inflammation, FTY720 seems to affect the interactions of lymphocytes with the subfamily of homing chemokines, secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine (SLC) and essential myosin light chain chemokine (ELC). These homing chemokines are constitutively expressed in T-cell zones of secondary lymp...

A noise synthesis method with no external connotation is proposed. By creating atoms with random width, onset-time and frequency, most external connotations are avoided. The further addition of a frequency distribution corresponding to the perceptual Bark frequency, and a spectrum corresponding to the equalloudness contour for a given phon level further removes the synthesis from the common sig...

The Eumorphia Summer School / EMBO Lecture Course (ESS/ELC) will be a highlyinteractive lecture course with as its primary mission the training and education ofscientists for the use of mouse models of human disease. This summer school willprovide a solid theoretical basis that students and fellows will need forexperimentation in the area of mouse functional genomics. The ESS/EL...

This approach makes it possible to create sophisticated application-specific components by combining simple “basic bricks”. All...

This paper gives an overview of our work for the TREC 2010 Entity track. The goal of the TREC Entity track is to study entity-related searches on Web data, which has not been sufficiently addressed in prior research. For both the Related Entity Finding (REF) task and the Entity List Completion (ELC) task in this track, we propose a unified probabilistic framework by incorporating the matching b...

Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7), which belongs to the betaherpesvirus subfamily, infects mainly CD4+ T cells in vitro and infects children during infancy. After the primary infection, HHV-7 becomes latent. HHV-7 contains two genes (U12 and U51) that encode putative homologs of cellular G-protein-coupled receptors. To analyze the biological function of the U12 gene, we cloned the gene and expressed ...

Modified Firefly Algorithm (MFA) is a model of particle swarm intelligence which adopts the behavior fireflies, in form mutual attraction to light intensity between one firefly and another. By using this method, PID tuning approach carried out so that it will get parameter value on Electronic Load Controller (ELC) system. In MFA process, repeated up 100 iterations achieve optimal or near-optima...

BACKGROUND We aimed to analyze outcomes of early and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the elderly in our General Surgery Division. METHODS We analyzed 114 LC performed from the 1st of January 2008 to the 31st of December 2012 in our General Surgery division: 67 LC were performed for gallbladder stones and 47 for acute cholecystitis. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Comparison between Ordinary ...
