Computational Ethology studies focused on human beings is usually referred as Human Activity Recognition (HAR). Specifically, this paper belongs to a line of work the identification broad cognitive activities that users carry out with computers. The keystone kind systems noninvasive detection subject’s gaze fixations in selected display areas. Noninvasiveness ensured by using conventional lapto...

Shock compression experiments achieving ≥100 GPa pressures are available for seven silicate liquid compositions in the system CaO-MgO-FeO-Al2O3-SiO2. Especially when liquid states have been sampled along multiple Hugoniots, these data are sufficient to evaluate the dependence of Grüneisen γ on volume in silicate liquids. The increase in γ upon compression in these liquids is a surprising featur...

Type 2 inflammation is a defining feature of infection with parasitic worms (helminths), as well as being responsible for widespread suffering in allergies. However, the precise mechanisms involved in T helper (Th) 2 polarization by dendritic cells (DCs) are currently unclear. We have identified a previously unrecognized role for type I IFN (IFN-I) in enabling this process. An IFN-I signature w...

Pathologically swollen lymph nodes (LNs), or buboes, characterize Yersinia pestis infection, yet how they form and function is unknown. We report that colonization of the draining LN (dLN) occurred due to trafficking of infected dendritic cells and monocytes in temporally distinct waves in response to redundant chemotactic signals, including through CCR7, CCR2, and sphingosine-1-phospate (S1P) ...

The calculation of Bethe logarithm for the ground state of the lithium atom is presented. The Bethe logarithm is the main QED effect coming from the electron self-interaction, which has not been obtained yet. Both results for the infinite nuclear mass, ln k055.178 17(3), and the mass polarization correction, Dln k0 50.114(3), significantly improve the hitherto theoretical values for the lithium...

Abstract A disaster-prone area is an that has a high level of vulnerability to potential threats life, welfare, and residents’ assets when disaster occurs. Land damage due landslides the reduce region’s ability supply human resources, especially in agricultural sector. This condition impact on decreasing carrying capacity land. study aimed analyze distribution pattern land Karangsambung-Karangb...

Characteristics of a design process of a launch lock (LL) mechanism are described. This process began with generation of data that proved a previous design would not perform its function reliably. The redesign was then accomplished through the use of fault tree analysis, which helped make a better connection between requirements and actual failure scenarios. FEA modeling techniques for proper s...

The humoral immune response to most respiratory virus infections plays a prominent role in virus clearance and is essential for resistance to reinfection. T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are believed to support the development both of a potent primary antibody response and of the germinal center response critical for memory B cell development. Using a model of primary murine influenza A virus (...

UNLABELLED The majority of human Yersinia pestis infections result from introduction of bacteria into the skin by the bite of an infected flea. Once in the dermis, Y. pestis can evade the host's innate immune response and subsequently disseminate to the draining lymph node (dLN). There, the pathogen replicates to large numbers, causing the pathognomonic bubo of bubonic plague. In this study, se...
