Today the Policy-Based Management (PBM) approach is recognized as an efficient solution to simplify the complex task of managing and controlling networks. To this end, the IETF has introduced a reference framework to build PBM systems. However, this framework only addresses the provisioning of relatively long validity period services based on pre-defined SLAs (Service Level Agreements). Further...

Fibrin is a hallmark of immune-mediated tissue lesions. The presence of fibrin in such lesions implies both the formation of fibrin via coagulation and the accompanying restriction of fibrinolysis, allowing fibrin to persist. Previous work has shown that human monocytes exposed to an inflammatory stimulus such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) produce both tissue factor (TF) and plasminogen activator...

Bone mass and strength achieved at the end of the growth period, simply designated as 'Peak Bone Mass (PBM)', plays an essential role in the risk of osteoporotic fractures occurring in adulthood. It is considered that an increase of PBM by one standard deviation would reduce the fracture risk by 50%. As estimated from twin studies, genetics is the major determinant of PBM, accounting for about ...

Photobiomodulation (PBM), often also known as low-level laser therapy, is a non-invasive method of treatment. It employs specific wavelength red and infrared light induces several physiological responses in cells tissues that form the foundation PBM. This treatment photochemically stimulates to produce chemicals, such adenosine triphosphate, reactive oxygen species, calcium ions, etc. contribut...

background: the presence of donor leukocytes in recipients of organ allograft has been shown even several years after transplantation. however, it remains unclear whether this donor cell microchimerism plays an effective role in allograft acceptance or is simply a consequence of immunosuppressive conditions in recipients. objective: to study microchimerism in a group of kidney transplant recipi...

Text mining is becoming vital as Web 2.0 offers collaborative content creation and sharing. Now Researchers have growing interest in text mining methods for discovering knowledge. Text mining researchers come from variety of areas like: Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistic, Machine Learning, and Statistics. A typical text mining application involves preprocessing of text, stemm...

This experiment aimed at evaluating the effects of including the enzyme, β-mannanase, in dog (Canis lupus familiaris) diets based on either poultry (Gallus gallus domesticus) by-product meal (PBM) or soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] Meal (SBM). The second objective was to evaluate 3 methods for determining energy and nutrient digestibility values in diets fed to dogs: total fecal collection (TF...

Objek dari menerapkan model (PBM) di pada pokok bahasan suhu dan kalor. Data diambil berupa hasil observasi tes I II in...

AIM: The present study assessed the effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and photobiomodulation (PBM) on pulp capping exposed dogs’ teeth. METHODS: Forty-eight teeth in three mongrel dogs were randomly divided into two major groups; Group I where MTA was used as a agent II which both MTA+PBM used. groups equally subdivided according to observation period following completion Subgroup (A) ...

Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBM) respond to Iipopolysaccharide (LPS) with increased release of a plasminogen activator (PA) inhibitor. This response is dose dependent and parallels the IPS-induced expression of PBM tissue factor activity. The PA inhibitors of control and IPS-stimulated PBMs appear identical as both are identifled by antibodies to PA inhibitor type 2 of human place...
