The autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) is severely impaired in patients with acute infectious mononucleosis. Reactivity returned during the course of convalescence. The allogeneic MLR was not impaired in these patients. B cells from patients with infectious mononucleosis do not stimulate autologous T-cell proliferation, and this observation appears to explain the cellular basis of the i...

| The generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test is a widely used method for detecting abrupt changes in linear systems and signals. In this paper the marginalized likelihood ratio (MLR) test is introduced for eliminating three shortcomings of GLR, while preserving its applicability and generality. Firstly, the need for a user-chosen threshold is eliminated in MLR. Secondly, the noise levels need ...

The main objective of the research is to compare the accurateness of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Multiple Linear Regressions (MLR) model for Specific Fuel Consumption for pyrolysis oil blended with diesel used in a single cylinder diesel engine. In this study, parameters i. e. Injection Timing, Injection Pressure, Compression Ratio, and Load are taken. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) ...

T lymphocytes that are activated in the autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) have suppressor activity. Concanavalin A (Con A) augments the suppressor activity generated in cultures containing both T and non-T lymphocytes and can induce suppressor activity in T-lymphocyte preparations that contain too few (10%) non-T cells to generate a significant autologous MLR. However, when such T-lymp...

We examine the class of multi-linear representations (MLR) for expressing probability distributions over discrete variables. Recently, MLRs have been considered as intermediate representations that facilitate inference in distributions represented as graphical models. We show that MLR is an expressive representation of discrete distributions and can be used to concisely represent classes of dis...

Lymphocyte proliferation in vitro may follow antigen recognition and serve as a correlate of cell-mediated immunity. Lymphocyte proliferation can also be simulated by nonimmune mechanisms as, for example, following culture with plant lectin, lipopolysaccharides, or staphylococcal protein A (1). The autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) refers to the proliferation of T lymphocytes cultured ...

Leucocyte Alkaline Phosphatase Activity (LAPA) in normal healthy individuals was lound to be in the range 17-110. It was markedly increased in patients with myeloid leukemoid reaction (MLR) in the range 100-220. However it was decreased in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) in the range 0-16. Increased LAPA in MLR is indicative of enhanced digestive capability of neutrophils while de...

Gene Expression Programming (GEP) is a novel genetic algorithm, a highly effective, stable random searching method. We take GEP to make models of Quantitative Structure-Retention Relationship (QSRR) for a series of oxygen-containing organic compounds of GC retention index, and compare the predictive results with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR). The correlati...
