Our group and others have determined that immune effector cells from patients with advanced cancers exhibit reduced activation of IFN signaling pathways. We hypothesized that increases in immune regulatory cells termed myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) could interfere with the host immune response to tumors by inhibiting immune cell responsiveness to IFNs. The C26 murine adenocarcinoma mo...

In this work an automatic fault classification system is developed for bearing fault classification of three phase induction motor. The system uses the wavelet packet decomposition using ‘db8’ mother wavelet function for feature extraction from the vibration signal, recorded for various bearing fault conditions. The selection of best node of wavelet packet tree is performed by using best tree a...

This paper studies distributed control of bearing-constrained multiagent formations using bearing-only measurements. In order to analyze bearing-constrained formations, we first present a bearing rigidity theory that is applicable to arbitrary dimensions. Based on the proposed bearing rigidity theory, we investigate distributed bearing-only formation control in arbitrary dimensions in the prese...

(EC 2.6.1.5,1 L-tyrosrne : 2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase), alanine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2, L-alaflme :2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase), and aspartate aminotrans ferase (EC 2.6.1.1, L-aspartate : 2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase) in tumor-bearing rats. From the results and studies on various analogous conditions, the metabolism of tumor-bearing animals is discussed. It was found that the ...

PURPOSE Physiotherapists commonly use static weight-bearing exercises in children with cerebral palsy, which are believed to stimulate antigravity muscle strength, prevent hip dislocation, improve bone mineral density, improve self-esteem, improve feeding, assist bowel and urinary functions, reduce spasticity, and improve hand function. The effectiveness of these exercises has not been thorough...

The rotor displacement measurement plays an important role in an active bearing system, however, in practice this measurement might be quite noisy, so that the control performance might be seriously degraded. In this paper, a soft sensing method for magnetic bearing-rotor system based on Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is proposed. In the proposed method, SVR te...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In open-wedge, valgus osteotomy of the upper tibia, there are concerns regarding the initial stability and ability to retain the correction. Rehabilitation protocols vary depending on the osteotomy technique and the fixation method. Angle-stable implants offer superior initial stability. Early full weight bearing appears to be possible using these implants. In this prospe...

induction motor bearing is one of the key parts of the machine and its analysis and interpretation are important for fault detection. in the present work vibration signal has been taken for the classification i.e. bearing is healthy (h) or defective (d). for this purpose, clustering based classification of bearing vibration data has been carried out using principal component analysis (pca) and ...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the effectiveness of functional treatment for the fractures of the metatarsal, which consisted of immediate or early weight bearing without immobilisation. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY We prospectively studied 276 patients with simple or complex fractures of the metatarsal, treated with a functional method which consisted of immediate (before the 3(rd) day since the fract...

In tumor-bearing state, the function of neutrophils is converted from tumor-suppressing to tumor-promoting. Here we report that priming with IFN-γ and TNF-α could convert the potential of neutrophils from tumor-promoting to tumor-suppressing. The neutrophils with protumor potential have not lost their responsiveness to IFN-γ and TNF-α. After priming with IFN-γ and TNF-α, the potential of the ne...
