Electronic games and simulations (eGames) are a valuable support for adaptive learning. This adaptation can be based on different inputs, such as the user’s performance, behaviour or cognitive load. Both adaptation and eGames can be modelled with IMS Learning Design (IMS LD) or integrated from an external resource. In this article we show the relation between IMS LD and the Projec...

The classic anti-viral cytokine interferon-β (IFN-β) can be induced during parasitic infection, but relatively little is know about the cell types and signaling pathways involved. Here we show that inflammatory monocytes (IMs), but not neutrophils, produce IFN-β in response to T. gondii infection. This difference correlated with the mode of parasite entry into host cells, with phagocytic uptake...

IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) has become the basis of fixed-mobile convergence for telecommunication operators. Compared to previous networks, IMS presents huge advantages, especially in terms of its ability to offer all types of services (voice and data). Nevertheless, with these advantages comes a whole new package of resilience (dependability & security) challenge, e.g., attacks, human mista...

Mitochondria import nuclear-encoded precursor proteins to four different subcompartments. Specific import machineries have been identified that direct the precursor proteins to the mitochondrial outer membrane, inner membrane or matrix, respectively. However, a machinery dedicated to the import of mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS) proteins has not been found so far. We have identified the...

OBJECTIVE A systematic review of randomised controlled trials was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of intramuscular stimulation (IMS). METHODS Electronic databases including Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, KoreaMED,...

Ion mobility separation (IMS) coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (IMS-HRMS) is a promising technique for (non-)target/suspect analysis of micropollutants in complex matrices. IMS separates ionized compounds based on their charge, shape and size facilitating the removal co-eluting isomeric/isobaric species. Additionally, data can be translated into collision cross-section (CCS) values,...

Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) has transformed proteomics by providing an avenue for collecting spatially distributed molecular data. Functional data acquired with matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) IMS consist of tens of thousands of spectra, measured at regular grid points across the surface of a tissue section. Unlike the more standard liquid chromatography mass spectrometr...

Because of the increasing internet use, print media is under significant threat. As part its transformation, a company deployed an Integrated Marketing Solution (IMS) to address current business challenges. This method, however, requires further investigation. result, this study aims assess utility IMS, analyze implementation McKinsey 7S Framework on and identify aspects in IMS for future devel...

Induction motors (IMs) are widely used in many industrial applications due to their robustness, low cost, simplicity and relative good efficiency. One of the major considerations for IMs is their speed control. PI (proportional-integrator) controllers are usually used as speed controller. Adjusting the gain of PI controller is time-consuming which needs thorough considerations. Hence, fuzzy con...

In this paper a heterogeneous network model based on the IMS-SIP (session Initiation protocol) with the help of Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) protocol that integrates the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technologies is proposed to improve QoS. The proposed Loos...
