We consider adversarial crash faults of nodes in the network constructors model [Michail and Spirakis, 2016]. first show that, without further assumptions, class graph languages that can be (stably) constructed under is non-empty but small. On positive side, linear waste enables construction, on a fraction nodes, any language constructible fault-free case partial constructibility allows us to c...

Endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) tolerance is a state of altered immunity characterized, in part, by suppression of LPS-induced gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) expression. However, the cellular mediators regulating LPS-induced production of IFN-gamma in normal mice and the effect of LPS tolerance on these mediators has not been well characterized. Our studies show that macrophage dysfunction i...

The paper describes an investigation of fault tolerant control strategies for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) driven by a fault-tolerant inverter. The inverter is a topology-modified inverter with fault-tolerant capability, which can be configured as the standard 3-phase 6-switch inverter and reconfigured as 3-phase 4-switch or 2-phase 4switch inverter under the fault condition. By an...

There are no widely accepted design patterns for writing distributed, concurrent, fault-tolerant code. Each programmer develops her own techniques for writing this type of complex software. The use of a common pattern for fault-tolerant programming has the potential to produce correct code more quickly and increase shared understanding between developers. We describe rules, tasks, and pools, pa...

Today, the use of CMOS technology for the manufacture of electronic ICs has faced many limitations. Many alternatives to CMOS technology are offered and made every day. Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is one of the most widely used. QCA gates and circuits have many advantages including small size, low power consumption and high speed. On the other hand, using special digital gates called re...

Transplant tolerance induced in adult animals is mediated by alloantigen-specific CD4+CD25+ T cells, yet in many models, proliferation of CD4+ T cells from hosts tolerant to specific-alloantigen in vitro is not impaired. To identify changes that may diagnose tolerance, changes in the patterns of proliferation of CD4+, CD4+CD25+, and CD4+CD25- T cells from DA rats tolerant to Piebald Virol Glaxo...

The effect of water deficit on stem reserve mobilization and sink activity in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, viz., C306 (drought tolerant) and PBW343 (drought sensitive) was studied. Drought was maintained in pot raised plants by withholding irrigation at 95 days after sowing (DAS), i.e. just five days before the initiation of anthesis. Drought induced a significant reduction in mean b...
