Donor-specific alloantibodies (DSA) to HLA-DP may cause antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), especially in re-transplants. We describe the immunization history of a patient who received 3 kidney transplants; the 3rd kidney was completely matched except at DPA1 and DPB1. Prior to the 3rd transplant, single antigen bead analysis (SAB) showed DSA reactivity against DPA1 shared by the 1st and 3rd don...

This paper describes work-in-progress on developing parallel visualization strategies for 3D Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) data. AMR is a simple and powerful tool for modeling many important scientific and engineering problems. However, visualization tools for 3D AMR data are not generally available. Converting AMR data onto a uniform mesh would result in high storage requirements, and renderi...

Abstrac t This paper presents a measuring system capable of detecting longitudinal and circumferential defects using remote field eddy current in stainless steel tubes with an AMR sensor. An excitation coil is required with a time varying current to produce a magnetic field that penetrates the material on test. The experimental results from both defects are compared with other results for the s...

1. the failure of the algorithm in [AMR] and [Morelli1] for the strong factorization pointed out by Kalle Karu, 2. the statement of a refined weak factorization theorem for toroidal birational morphisms in [AMR], in the form utilized in [AKMR] for the proof of the weak factorization theorem for general birationla maps, avoiding the use of the above mentioned algorithm for the strong factorizati...

We present a new hybrid paradigm for parallel adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) that combines the scalability and lightweight architecture of tree-based AMR with the computational efficiency of patch-based solvers for hyperbolic conservation laws. The key idea is to interpret each leaf of the AMR hierarchy as one uniform compute patch in Rd with md degrees of freedom, where m is customarily betwee...

In this paper, we provide a state-of-the-art overview of the ethical challenges that arise in the context of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which includes an introduction to the contributions to the symposium in this issue. We begin by discussing why AMR is a distinct ethical issue, and should not be viewed purely as a technical or medical problem. In the second section, we expand on some of t...

Meaning Representation (AMR) is a semantic representation language which intends to assign the same graph representation to capture the semantics from sentences with the same basic meaning. This representation has received increasing attention in the NLP community because of its simplicity and expressive power. Vanderwende and colleagues (Vanderwende, Menezes, and Quirk 2015) have demonstrated ...

With great pleasure we would like to present the special issue devoted to Articulated Mobile Robots (AMR). The area of AMR, characterized by the combination of mobility with articulation property, still remains an attractive field of research and engineering. This substantial interest is motivated on one hand by fascination with a complicated nature of multi-body mechanisms, on the other hand b...

Bacteria from animals raised for food that have developed antimicrobial resistance (AMR) may serve as a vehicle its transmission animal to human. Nevertheless, the antibiotic profile of Escherichia coli raw meat is scarcely reported, especially in North Sumatra. The aim this investigation was investigate retail presence E. and pattern. We purchased 80 packages fresh products four traditional ma...

BACKGROUND As part of the 2014 European Antibiotic Awareness Day plans, a new campaign called Antibiotic Guardian (AG) was launched in the United Kingdom, including an online pledge system to increase commitment from healthcare professionals and members of the public to reduce antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim of this evaluation was to determine the impact of the campaign on self-reported...
