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...

The purpose of this study is determine the mechanical properties PLA-Hap-Chitosan and ABS-HAp-Chitosan composites. Poly lactic acid (PLA) acrylonitrile butdie styrene (ABS) are polymers that can be applied in biomedical field because they to decompose naturally human body. To streng not make body wear out, a ceramic element has bioactive, biodegradable biocompatible added, namely hydrochiapatit...

an ultra-glide twin screw extruder is employed to allow the quick and easy removal of the screws from the fixed processing section within few seconds, probing the current degree of the melting state, the dispersive anddistributive processing steps and finally the level of morphology development along extruder screws. for morphological studies the molten samples, collected from different points ...

Objective. To assess the in vivo hemostatic effect of Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS). Study Design. An experimental study of an animal anterior epistaxis model. Setting. A tertiary care university hospital. Subjects and Methods. Wistar rats were randomized into 4 groups of 7 each: group 1, control, no pretreatment, irrigated with saline; group 2, no pretreatment, irrigated with ABS; group 3, cont...

In this paper, we 1. The scaled ABS class. ABS methods have been introduced by Abaffy, Broyden and Spedicato (1984), in a paper where the solution of linear algebraic equations was considered via the so called ABS unscaled or basic class. That class was later generalized to the so called scaled ABS class and then applied also to the solution of linear least squares, nonlinear algebraic equation...
