To study the interaction of positively charged antibodies in immune complexes with the fixed negative charge on the glomerular capillary wall, chemical cationization of antibody was accomplished with the maintenance of antigen-binding activity. These cationized antibodies bound rapidly to glomeruli but did not persist. Large-latticed immune complexes formed with these cationic antibodies showed...

Waveguide-coupled microdisk and microring resonators as optical filters have been of great interest due to their high wavelength selectivity and ultra-compact sizes [1 – 4]. Recently, higher-order filters based on microring resonators with improved performances have been demonstrated in compound glass and AlGaAs/GaAs material systems [3, 4]. These higher-order filters show steeper rolloffs and ...

Article history: Received: 04.09.2013. Received in revised form: 20.09.2013. Accepted: 02.10.2013. This paper presents a linear cellular automation (LCA) method for predicting the dynamic failure (DF) mode of both single-layer latticed shell and single-layer cylindrical latticed shell subjected to ground motions. The LCA model of the shell obtains the state values of cells/nodes including the n...

According to the growth of users' needs for security and human-machine interaction, many automated user verification method have been developed based on biometrics. One of the representative methods among them is on-line signature recognition. But, the previous on-line signature recognition methods require too much complex processing so that it is not well suited for the simple and fast process...
