Recent results on proton structure functions from H1 and ZEUS Collaborations are presented. The data have been recorded in ep and e−p collisions for both Neutral Current and Charged Current reactions, covering a wide kinematic range of squared four-momentum transfers Q2, from 0.2GeV2 to 30000GeV2, and Bjorken x between ∼5 ∗ 10−6 and 0.65. Data from both experiments have been combined, leading t...

Fexofenadine hydrochloride (FFH), chemically known as (±)-4-[1-hydroxy-4-[4-(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)-1-piperidinyl]butyl]-a,a-dimethyl benzene aceticacid hydrochloride [1] is a active metabolite of terfenadine and is a second-generation histamine H1-receptor antagonist in piperidine-class drugs. These drugs are used in the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis, chronic idiopathic urticaria etc...

The ligation of programmed death-ligand 1 (B7-H1) to T cells results in the preferential production of interleukin 10 (IL-10). We investigated if B7-H1 would be up-regulated in HIV infection, a disease characterized by increased IL-10 production, by measuring B7-H1, B7-1 (CD80), and B7-2 (CD86) expression and mRNA in 36 HIV-infected patients and in 22 healthy controls (HCs). Results showed that...

Let k ≥ 4, and let H1, H2 be connected graphs with |V (Hi)| ≥ 3 for i = 1, 2. A graph G is said to be {H1, . . . , Hl}-free if none of H1, . . . , Hl is an induced subgraph of G. We prove that if there exists a positive integer n0 such that every {H1, H2}-free graph G with |V (G)| ≥ n0 and δ(G) ≥ 3 contains k vertex-disjoint claws, then {H1, H2} ∩ {K1,t | t ≥ 2} = ∅. Also, we prove that every K...

PURPOSE Recently, we established an ELISA technique for measuring nm23-H1 protein in serum and found that the serum nm23-H1 level is a potential prognostic factor for patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We used immunohistochemistry to examine the expression of nm23-H1 by the lymphoma cells in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). RESULTS By analyzing a c...

Purpose: We examined whether nm23-H1 is a prognostic factor of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS). Experimental Design: We studied 102 consecutive, untreated PTCL-NOS patients from 1998 to 2008. The expression of nm23-H1 and TIA-1 was studied by immunohistochemistry. Results: nm23-H1 was positive in 44.1%, and TIA-1 in 78.4% of the PTCL-NOS patients. nm23-H1 expressi...

A new method of constructing optimum constant weight codes over F2 based on a generalized (u,u + v) construction [1]∼ [3] is presented. We present a new method of constructing superimposed code C (h1,h2,··· ,hI) (s1,s2,··· ,sI) bound. and presented a large class of optimum constant weight codes over F2 that meet the bound due to Brouwer and Verhoeff [4], which will be referred to as BV . We pre...

In this chapter we deal with the problem of robust position control for cooperative manipulators rigidly connected to an undeformable load. Design paradigms to solve force/position control problems have been established in the literature to improve the performance of the cooperation. In [8] a control strategy for cooperative manipulators was proposed based on the independence of the position an...

Let A = ( H1 E ∗ E H2 ) and à = ( H1 O O H2 ) be Hermitian matrices with eigenvalues λ1 ≥ · · · ≥ λk and λ̃1 ≥ · · · ≥ λ̃k, respectively. Denote by ‖E‖ the spectral norm of the matrix E, and η the spectral gap between the spectra of H1 and H2. It is shown that |λi − λ̃i| ≤ 2‖E‖ η + √ η2 + 4‖E‖2 , which improves all the existing results. Similar bounds are obtained for singular values of matrices u...
