PURPOSE The purpose of this research was to determine the toxicity and immunological activity of large multivalent immunogen (LMI), a preparation of tumor cell membranes affixed to amorphous silica microbeads, in patients with melanoma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Nineteen patients with metastatic (stage IV) melanoma were entered into the study, of whom 15 received the full 3 months of treatment with...

This paper addresses the value of linguistically-motivated indexing (LMI) for document and text retrieval. After reviewing the basic concepts involved and the assumptions on which LMI is based, namely that complex index descriptions and terms are necessary, I consider past and recent research on LMI, and specifically on automated LMI via NLP. Experiments in the first phase of research, to the l...

We obtain the Na I λ8183,8195 absorption line radial velocity curves for the polars ST LMi and MR Ser, from which we find the semi-amplitudes to be Kabs=329±6 km s −1 and Kabs=289±9 km s −1 respectively. We find that for both systems the effects on the Na I absorption lines due to X-rays heating the inner face of the secondary are negligible, and so the values obtained for Kabs can be taken as ...

This paper proposes a linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based adaptive barrier global sliding mode control (ABGSMC) for uncertain systems with faulty actuators. The proposed approach is derived using novel nonlinear surface to guarantee the dynamic property and ensure system stability occurrence of in presence actuator faults. optimal coefficients are determined LMI method. system’s asymptotic pro...

We consider the linear matrix inequality (LMI) problem of H∞ output feedback control for a generalized plant whose input, measured output, disturbance and controlled are scalar. provide an explicit form optimal value. This is unification some results in literature performance limitation analysis. To obtain value, we focus on non-uniqueness perpendicular matrices, which appear LMI problem. use n...

in this paper, a state feedback h¥ controller is proposed in order to design an active queue management (aqm) system based on congestion control algorithm for networks supporting tcp protocols. in this approach, the available link bandwidth is modeled as a time-variant disturbance. the purpose of this paper is to design a controller which is capable of achieving the queue size and can guarantee...
