We report that L-cell-conditioned medium (LCM) transforms porcine cerebral microvascular (PCMV) endothelial cells into cells with macrophage-like properties. LCM is known to contain both cytokine(s) and the L-cell virus, a murine retrovirus found in the L929 cell and LCM. Our evidence suggests that both LCM cytokine(s) and the L-cell virus are involved in this PCMV endothelial cell transformati...

A marked difference was observed in the severity of disease in lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) virus-infected suckling BALB/c, Swiss, and C3H mice. BALB/c mice had minimal liver lesions and none died, whereas C3H mice had extensive liver lesions and all mice died. An intermediate pattern was oberved for Swiss mice (36% mortality). Although there was no difference in the titers of LCM virus i...

Bayesian approach is effective for inverse problems. The posterior density distribution provides useful information of the unknowns. However, problems with non-unique solutions, classical estimators such as maximum a (MAP) and conditional mean (CM) are not suitable. We introduce two new estimators, local (LMAP) (LCM). A simple algorithm based on clustering to compute LMAP LCM proposed. Their ap...

Recent studies have indicated that the uncertainty in the global carbon cycle may have a significant impact on the climate. Since state of the art models are too computationally expensive for it to be possible to explore their parametric uncertainty in anything approaching a comprehensive fashion, we have developed a simplified system for investigating this problem. By combining the strong poin...

Let S div ( n ) $S_{\rm div}(n)$ denote the set of permutations π such that for each 1 ⩽ j $1\leqslant \leqslant n$ either ∣ $j \mid \pi (j)$ or $\pi (j) j$ . These can also be viewed as vertex-disjoint directed cycle covers divisor graph D [ , ] $\mathcal {D}_{[1,n]}$ on vertices v … $v_1, \ldots v_n$ with an edge between i $v_i$ and $v_j$ if $i\mid i$ We improve recent results Pomerance by sh...

We DownWrite from digit LCM space by sampling from the Gaus-sian models for each digit class.

We inspect stroke sets from CEDAR digits in LCM UpWrite space.
