Despite fast advances in genomics and proteomics, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are still a valuable tool for areas such as the evolution of basic research in stem cells and cancer, for immunophenotyping cell populations, diagnosing and prognosis of diseases, and for immunotherapy. To summarize different subtractive immunization approaches successfully used for the production of highly specific ...

In prosthodontics, conventional methods of fabrication of oral and facial prostheses have been considered the gold standard for many years. The development of computer-aided manufacturing and the medical application of this industrial technology have provided an alternative way of fabricating oral and facial prostheses. This narrative review aims to evaluate the different streams of computer-ai...

First measures of sensitivity and the need for a model to interpret them are addressed. Then modeling in the Fourier domain is promoted by a demonstration of how much an approach explains spatial sensitization and its dependence on luminance. Then the retinal illuminance and receptor absorptions produced by various stimuli are derived to foster interpretation of the neural mechanisms underlying...

Speaker identification is the process of determining which registered speaker provides a given utterance. Speaker identification required to make a claim on the identity of speaker from the Ns trained speaker in its user database. In this study, we propose the combination of clustering algorithm and the classification technique – subtractive and Radial Basis Function (RBF). The proposed techniq...

tissue engineering, etc. The RP technology has already been used in building medical models representing a new approach for surgical planning and simulation and is now being explored in the field of dentistry.1 The subtractive technique is achieved by lathing, milling, or grinding, whereas the additive technique is achieved by layered manufacturing or solid free form manufacturing. The subtract...

The main focus of the study is to implement and evaluates the DCT based plant leaf disease recognition using subtractive clustering for automatic recognition and classification. The proposed methodology of the study includes image processing and recognition by classification. The method consists of four phases: First, capturing plant leaf disease images and perform color space transformation, i...

Intelligent autonomous robots and multiagent systems, having different skills and capabilities for specific subtasks, have the potential to solve problems more efficiently and effectively. In this paper both f i m y logic (FL) and subtractive clustering (SC) are used for the design of autonomous robot behaviours. The design procedure is conducted in two stages: first subtractive clustering is a...

To examine how the mechanisms of light adaptation affect spatial pattern vision, contrast detection thresholds were measured for sinusoidal (increment-Gabor) probes on flashed backgrounds in the presence of steady adapting backgrounds. The thresholds for all spatial frequencies (1-12 c/deg), flashed-background intensities (dark to 4 log td) and adapting-background intensities (dark to 4 log td)...

Clustering of web user sessions is extremely significant to comprehend their surfing activities on the internet. Users with similar browsing behaviour are grouped together, and further analysis of discovered user groups by domain experts may generate usable and actionable knowledge. In this paper, a conglomerative clustering approach is presented to identify web user session clusters from web s...
