Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is a significant pathogen for young children, and three Hib vaccines (named PRP-OMPC, HbOC, and PRP-T) are currently available for young children. Extensive studies of anti-Hib polysaccharide (PS) antibodies (Abs) have shown that the V regions of Abs against the Hib PS comprise a VH gene in the VH3 gene family and a VL gene from various K kappa and V lambda s...

INTRODUCTION Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a distinctive inflammatory arthritis which may typically develop in a subgroup of individuals suffering from psoriasis. We recently described progranulin autoantibodies (PGRN-Abs) in the sera of patients with different autoimmune diseases including seronegative polyarthritis. In the present study we investigated the occurrence of PGRN-Abs in PsA. METH...

It is notoriously hard to correctly implement a multiparty protocol which involves asynchronous/concurrent interactions and the constraints on states of multiple participants. To assist developers in implementing such protocols, we propose a novel specification language to specify interactions within multiple object-oriented actors and the sideeffects on heap memory of those actors; a behaviora...

The ABS control problem is described, with a discussion on relevant hybrid control aspects. Next, we comment on conventional ABS design methods and present some new ideas and results on model-based ABS control design that relies on elements of hybrid control.

• 17,449 experimental binodal data points covering various IL-ABS at different temperatures are collected. Optimal parameters of a well-known mathematical description for each the obtained. A machine learning model (ANN-GC) with reliable predictive performance is developed. Some main issues that govern phase equilibria behavior IL- ABS discussed. The ability to predict crucial relevance in earl...
