It has recently been shown that an idiotypic determinant(s) (460-Id) 1 found on the 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl (TNP)-binding myeloma protein, MOPC-460, is expressed on some anti-TNP antibodies produced by BALB/c mice after immunization with certain thymus-independent (TI) (1) and thymus-dependent (2) TNP antigens. In vitro studies indicate that the 460-Id-bearing component...

In parameterized complexity each problem instance comes with a parameter k and the parameterized problem is said to admit a polynomial kernel if there are polynomial time preprocessing rules that reduce the input instance down to an instance with size polynomial in k. Many problems have been shown to admit polynomial kernels, but it is only recently that a framework for showing the non-existenc...

In this paper we develop a transaction cost perspective of the computer industry evolution and standardization processes in order to evaluate the future of the open source software (OSS) movement, particularly with regard to how the involvement of firms--as opposed to individuals--will shape its direction. For this purpose we define two types of transaction costs related to coordinating the dev...

Motivation: Research in audio-visual speech recognition, eg. [1, 5] , shows that classification results can be improved by integrating evidence from multiple sources of observation. Similar results have been observed and demonstrated in verification systems, such as [6], as well as in multi-modal trackers, eg. [7]. In the area of human identification current state of the art systems deliver ver...

This paper describes the exploration of text-independent speaker identification using novel approaches based on speakers’ phonetic features instead of traditional acoustic features. Different phonetic speaker identification approaches are discussed in this paper and evaluated using two speaker identification systems: one multilingual system and one single language multiple-engine system. Furthe...

in this case report we will describe a rare association between anhyrotic ectodermal dysplasia (aed) and immunodeficiency and autoimmunity [in our case: idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (itp) and crohn disease]. aed is a rare congenital disorder characterized by sparse hair, abnormal teeth and anhidrosis due to lack of eccrine glands. the survey of 87 cases with (aed) revealed only one irrit...
