background: this study was designed to evaluate whether or not t. gondii and its derivatives can change the gene expression level of il-10 in murine leukocytes in vivo.   methods: fifty balb/c mice were divided into 5 groups, four of which received the excretory/secretory product (esp) from cell culture medium, the esp from cell free medium, the toxoplasma lysate product (tlp) and the active ta...

We study the problem of quasisymmetrically embedding spaces homeomorphic to Sierpi\'nski carpet into plane. In case so called dyadic slit carpets, several characterizations are obtained. One characterization is in terms a Transboundary Loewner Property (TLP) which transboundary analogue property Heinonen and Koskela. show that can be embedded plane if only it TLP. Moreover, every $X$ associated...

We introduce a novel cache replacement policy to improve the entire network performance of video delivery over content-centric networking (CCN). In the case of the CCN structure, we argue that: 1) for video multiplexing scenario, general cache strategies that ignore the intrinsic linear time characteristic of video requests are unable to make better use of the cache resources, and 2) it is inad...

In high-consequence systems, there is a high cost associated with failure. Thus, there should be strong evidence that the systems will not fail in the field. Such evidence cannot be obtained by traditional verification methods such as testing. Transformation-oriented programming (TOP) is a promising formal software development technique. In TOP, a source file that represents a correct formal sp...

The continued usage of Fortran as a dominant programming language isolates the computational science & engineering (CSE) community and hinders the learning and adoption of modern software engineering methods. The issue is not primarily that Fortran is not suitable for developing many different types of software. Indeed, the are many examples of quality CSE software written in Fortran that can l...

We are developing a Fortran 90D compiler, which converts Fortran 90D code into Fortran 77 plus message passing node programs for distributed memory machines. This paper presents the implementation and performance results of Fortran 90D intrinsic functions on the Intel iPSC/860 hypercube. Our implementation is portable and scalable.
