Previous studies have indicated that the diversity of gamma genes expressed by gamma/delta-bearing murine T cells is limited, but comparable information concerning the expressed diversity of delta genes is lacking. In this study, we have investigated the rearrangement and expression of delta and gamma genes in T cell hybridomas that express gamma/delta T cell receptors. Three productive delta c...

dimensional synthesis of a parallel robot may be the initial stage of its design process, which is usually carried out based on a required workspace. since optimization of the links lengths of the robot for the workspace is usually done, the workspace computation process must be run numerous times. hence, importance of the efficiency of the algorithm and the cpu time of the workspace computatio...

in this letter we have proposed a new regularization scheme to deal with the divergent integralsoccurring in the quantum mechanical problem of calculating the bound state energy of the delta-functionpotential in two and three dimensions. based on the schwinger parameterization technique we argue thatthere are no infinities even in d dimensions. in this way we were able to compare our proposal w...

in this paper we propose and simulate a new heterostructure mesfet, called δ-doped ldd hmesfet. to improve carrier velocity in vicinity of the source in channel of gaas mesfet, one can replace source with alxga 1-x as. by increasing al content, discontinuity of hetero-interface could be increased. therefore, the velocity increases in the low field. however, increasing al mole fraction in excess...

Delta-certificate revocation lists (delta-CRLs) were designed to provide a more efficient way to distribute certificate status information. However, as this paper shows, in some environments the benefits of using delta-CRLs will be minimal if delta-CRLs are used as was originally intended. This paper provides an analysis of delta-CRLs that demonstrates the problems associated with issuing delta...

Hemoglobin A2 (HbA2; alpha 2 delta 2) is a powerful inhibitor of HbS (alpha 2 beta 2(3)) polymerization. However, HbA2 levels are normally low in sickle cell patients. We show that a major reason for low delta-globin gene expression is the defective CACCC box at -90 in the delta-globin promoter. When the CACCC box defect in delta is corrected, expression of an HS2 delta /Luciferase reporter is ...

Recombinative events of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) delta-chain gene were studied in 37 cases of peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) and related to their clinical presentation and the expression of the alpha beta or gamma delta heterodimers as determined by immunostaining of frozen tissue samples. There were 22 cases of alpha beta, 5 cases of gamma delta, and 10 cases of silent TCR expressi...

| In classic backpropagation nets, as introduced by Rumelhart et al. 1], the weights are modiied according to the method of steepest descent. The goal of this weight modiication is to minimise the error in net-outputs for a given training set. Basing upon Jacobs' work 2], we point out drawbacks of steepest descent and suggest improvements on it. These yield a backpropagation net, which adjusts ...
