People infected with Blastomyces dermatitidis develop strong immunity to the yeast surface adhesin WI-1, including antibody responses to the adhesive domain, a 25-amino-acid repeat, and cellular responses to the N terminus. We studied the immunogenicity of WI-1 and the ability of anti-WI-1 immune responses to protect against lethal pulmonary infection in mice. WI-1 immunization, given in Freund...

Wi-Fi throughput enhancement is required for the Tokyo Olympic in 2020. This is mainly because Wi-Fi can be a monetary-cost-effective solution for foreign tourists. However, especially in urban areas, Wi-Fi access points (APs) have deployed densely for the coverage enhancement of each service. Due to the dense deployment, there is a chaotic and disorderly environment in urban cities. Chaotic fr...

Ubiquitous positioning provides continuous positional information in both indoor and outdoor environments for a wide spectrum of location based service (LBS) applications. With the rapid development of the low-cost and high speed data communication, Wi-Fi networks in many metropolitan cities, strength of signals propagated from the Wi-Fi access points (APs) namely received signal strength (RSS)...

In the setting of standard online learning, we are interested in sequential prediction problems where for i = 1, 2, . . .: 1. An unlabeled example xi = [xi , . . . , x d i ] ∈ R arrives. 2. We make a prediction ŷi based on the current weights wi = [w i , . . . , w d i ] ∈ R. 3. We observe yi, let zi = (xi, yi), and incur some known loss L(wi, zi) convex in parameter wi. 4. We update weights acc...

the high hillsides of the tehran metropolis are prone to landslides due to the climatic conditions and the geological, geomorphologicalcharacteristics of the region. therefore, it is vitally important that a landslide susceptibility map of the region be prepared. for thispurpose, thematic layers including landslide inventory, lithology, slope, aspect, curvature, distance to stream, distance to ...

This work explains a scaling law of the first Landau coefficient derived Ginzburg-Landau equation (GLE) in weakly nonlinear analysis axisymmetric viscoelastic pipe flows large-Weissenberg-number ($Wi$) limit, recently reported Wan et al. J. Fluid Mech. (2021), vol. 929, A16. Using an asymptotic method, we derive reduced system, which captures characteristics linear centre-mode instability near ...
