We bless Thee for the goodly heritage From which he sprang, For youthful curiosity That fathered the genius of mature years, For his knowledge of the Latin tongue Even if neglected in the stagnant air of courts, For his hospitality to Arab learning, For all he learned from Avicenna, Lazarus Hebraeus, Rhazes, and Galen, And most of all, for what he added to their lore, For his mind's triumph ove...

Q(k) p(k) +-f(k) b 3 b 2 r(k-1) w 1 w 2 A new signaling system for high bit rate wireless LANs is made possible by a novel class of signaling pulses called OWSS pulses, which are generated through a combination of OWDM and spread spectrum concepts.

Medical researches have reported that unobvious symptoms in the early stage of ovarian cancer results in the very low survival rate of patients. It is often in the last stage of ovarian cancer when patients discover the illness. Distinguishing early stage's cancer cells between benign and malignant tumors is quite different from one doctor to another such that diagnostic results are often varie...

A similarity measure is described that does not require the prior specification of features or the need for training sets of representative data. Instead large numbers of features are generated as part of the similarity calculation and the extent to which features can be found to be common to pairs of patterns determines the measure of their similarity. Emphasis is given to salient image region...

In this paper we report on an ongoing statistical analysis of actual CCSN traffic data. The data consist of approximately 170 million signaling messages collected from a variety of different working CCS subnetworks. The key findings from our analysis concern: (1) the characteristics of both the telephone call arrival process and the signaling message arrival process, (2) the tail behavior of th...

The adoptive transfer of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells is a promising approach for the treatment of chronic viral and malignant diseases. In order to improve adoptive T cell therapy (ATT) of cancer, recent strategies aim at the antibody-based blockade of immunosuppressive signaling pathways in CD8+ T cells. Alternatively, adjuvant effects of immunostimulatory cytokines might be exploited to imp...

Presented here are femtosecond pump-probe studies on the water-solvated 7-azaindole dimer, a model DNA base pair. In particular, studies are presented that further elucidate the nature of the reactive and nonreactive dimers and also provide new insights establishing that the excited state double-proton transfer in the dimer occurs in a stepwise rather than a concerted manner. A major question a...
