Dardas, T. J. (Michigan State University, East Lansing), and V. H. Mallmann. Electrophoretic and immunoelectrophoretic studies of sera from normal, tuberculous, and noninfected tuberculin-sensitive guinea pigs. J. Bacteriol. 92:76-81. 1966.-Normal guinea pig serum was separated into seven fractions by electrophoresis on cellulose acetate membranes. Thirty antigens were found by immunoelectropho...

‎Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a simple connected graph with vertex set V(G) and edge‎ ‎set E(G)‎. ‎The (first) edge-hyper Wiener index of the graph G is defined as‎: ‎$$WW_{e}(G)=sum_{{f,g}subseteq E(G)}(d_{e}(f,g|G)+d_{e}^{2}(f,g|G))=frac{1}{2}sum_{fin E(G)}(d_{e}(f|G)+d^{2}_{e}(f|G)),$$‎ ‎where de(f,g|G) denotes the distance between the edges f=xy and g=uv in E(G) and de(f|G)=∑g€(G)de(f,g|G). ‎In thi...

A new plaintext-related image encryption system based on the hyper-chaotic Lorenz system is proposed in this paper. In the proposed image encryption system, the hyper-chaotic Lorenz system is employed to generate six pseudo-random matrixes, where, two of them use the “add-modulus” operations to carry out the plaintext-unrelated image diffusion, and the other four matrixes are used to confuse th...

This paper focuses on the analysis of murder in Namibia using Bayesian spatial smoothing approach with temporal trends. The analysis was based on the reported cases from 13 regions of Namibia for the period 2002–2006 complemented with regional population sizes. The evaluated random effects include space-time structured heterogeneity measuring the effect of regional clustering, unstructured hete...

OBJECTIVE Cow's milk (CM) hypersensitivity is one of the most frequent hypersensitivities in infants. The objective of our study was to investigate the prevalence of immediate hypersensitivity to CM based on skin prick test results and to evaluate associated allergic conditions ascertained by questionnaire in infants living in Istanbul. METHODS All infants born between June 2001 and May 2002 ...

The only approved treatment for botulism relies on passive immunity which is mostly based on antibody preparations collected from hyper-immune horses. The IgG Fc fragment is commonly removed from these heterologous preparations to reduce the incidence of hyper-sensitivity reactions. New-generation therapies entering the pipeline are based on a combination of humanized monoclonal antibodies (MAb...

A general framework for the multi-scale topology optimisation (TO) of lattice structures (LSs) is presented in this work. The proposed method involves: Non-Uniform Rational Basis Spline (NURBS) hyper-surfaces to represent pseudo-density field describing LS representative volume element (RVE) topology, Solid Isotropic Material with Penalisation (SIMP) approach and strain energy-based homogenisat...

Hypertexture is a powerful and exible procedural modeling tool that is currently limited only by an ine cient rendering mechanism. We analyze the terms of hypertexture functions to obtain an importance measure, capitalize on spatial and image coherence when possible. These enhancements make a guaranteed algorithm for ray-tracing implicit surfaces signi cantly more e cient for rendering hypertex...
