Exposure to allergens derived from house dust mites (eg, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) is considered an important factor in the development and exacerbation of asthma. In cultures, more than 95% of mite allergen Der p 1 was associated with mite feces (mean diameter of 22 ± 6 µm; range, 10 to 40 µm). 1 Domestic air sampling in bedrooms during dust disturbance showed that greater than 80% of de...

In diesem Beitrag stellen wir eine Klasse von neuen Algorithmen zur blinden Enthallung von Sprachsignalen und gleichzeitiger Trennung von Signalgemischen (blind source separation, BSS) vor, basierend auf TRINICON, einem allgemeinen Konzept für breitbandige adaptive MIMO-Signalverarbeitung. Um alle grundlegenden stochastischen Signaleigenschaften von Sprache für den Enthallungsund Separationspro...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the serum total IgE (tIgE) and specific IgE (sIgE) to common allergens among allergic patients in Guangzhou, China. METHODS 7 085 patients were examined for tIgE and sIgE to 15 allergens, based on the protocols of reversed enzyme allergosorbent test and the sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS 3 758 (53.04%) patients tested positive for tIgE, and 4 64...

In this paper we present a formal way of describing plausible (or non-deductive) reasoning. Ajdukiewicz’s distinction between deductive and non-deductive reasoning [1] provides our theoretical framework. Our formal approach is given by so called operation of p-consequence, which has been described earlier e.g. in [2]. At every stage of our work we try to show that Ajdukiewicz’s framework is rel...

A recent article in this journal found that the type of extraction buffer did not affect measured levels of the major group one allergen (Der p 1) from the house dust mite, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, in household dust samples (1). This differed from a previous study where about twice the levels of Der p 1 were found in borate-buffered saline extracts, compared to ammonium bicarbonate buffe...
