Proteins coextracted with endotoxin, termed endotoxin-associated protein (EAP), have been shown to exert interleukin 1-like activities. The present studies demonstrate that EAP also exerts potent granulopoietic colony-stimulating activity (CSA) on human peripheral blood and bone marrow progenitor cells, comparable to that seen with various types of conditioned media. The CSA observed with EAP a...

This paper presents our work relating to introduction of EAP smartcards in emerging wireless LAN like Wi-Fi or WiMax. We analyse basic characteristics involved in authentication protocols from feasibility and performances points of view. We shortly introduce our open Java architecture, and underline some observed interoperability issues. We present and analyze results obtained with five differe...

Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of bacteraemia, which frequently results in complications such as infective endocarditis, osteomyelitis and exit from the bloodstream to cause metastatic abscesses. Interaction with endothelial cells is critical to these complications and several bacterial proteins have been shown to be involved. The S. aureus extracellular adhesion protein (Eap) has man...

INTRODUCTION: Many recent techniques have been introduced for high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) [1 and references therein], to infer the diffusion or fiber orientation distribution function (ODF) of the underlying tissue structure. These methods, mostly designed for fiber tractography, are normally based on a single shell acquisition and can only recover some angular information...

By capturing the anisotropic water diffusion in tissue, diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) provides a unique tool for noninvasively probing the tissue microstructure and orientation in the human brain. The diffusion profile can be described by the ensemble average propagator (EAP), which is inferred from observed diffusion signals. However, accurate EAP estimation using the number of d...

This document specifies an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) mechanism for authentication and session key distribution using the GSM Subscriber Identity Module (SIM). Haverinen Expires in six months [Page 1] Internet Draft EAP SIM Authentication November 2001

The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is a generic framework supporting multiple types of authentication methods. The EAP Re-authentication Protocol (ERP) specifies extensions to EAP and the EAP keying hierarchy to support an EAP method-independent protocol for efficient re-authentication between the peer and an EAP re-authentication server through any authenticator. Authenticated Antici...

Objectives. Our previous study has used RNA-seq technology to show that apoptotic molecules were involved in the myocardial protection of electroacupuncture pretreatment (EAP) on the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) animal model. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate how EAP protects myocardium against myocardial I/R injury through antiapoptotic mechanism. Methods. By using rats with myoc...
