We have detected transient X-ray activity from the X-ray burster 4U 0614+091 simultaneously with BATSE/CGRO (20–100 keV) and ASM/RXTE (1–12 keV). The peak fluxes reach approximately 40 mCrab in both instruments over a period of about 20 days. The variable emission shows a clear anticorrelation of the hard X-ray flux with the soft X-ray count rate. The observed anticorrelation is another clear c...

Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) loci widely known for their role in generation of immune responsesare often considered to be effective in reconstructing human phylogenies due to high degree of polymorphism and rarity of recombination observed at HLA loci. In this review, we have made an attempt to discuss the role of HLA in immune response. Further we have tried to highlight the evolutionary ...

A 7/10 m diameter Cerenkov telescope of the CANGAROO II project will start operation in 1999 in Woomera, South Australia, with a 7 m aperture using 60 plastic mirrors. The telescope aims to observe 100 GeV gamma-ray sources in the southern sky. Preprint submitted to Elsevier Preprint 2 December 1998 Table 1 Characteristics of the CANGAROO 7/10 m telescope. Mirror Type Composite Shape of the fra...

Background ADXS11-001 immunotherapy is a live attenuated Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) bioengineered to secrete a tLLO-HPV-16-E7 fusion protein targeting HPV-transformed cells. The Lm vector serves as its own adjuvant and infects APC where it cross presents HPV-E7-tLLO fusion peptide, stimulating MHC class 1 and 2 pathways resulting in HPV-E7 specific T cell immunity. Lm-LLOE7-015 (Clinical Trial...

Thin oxides (4 nm) grown on deuterium-implanted silicon substrates were investigated for the first time. It was observed that deuterium implantation at a light dose of 1 x 1014/cm2 at 25 keV significantly reduced the leakage current through the oxide. A reduction in electron trap density has also been observed for this oxide. An increase in leakage current, observed for both higher and lower en...

This study examined the factor structure for three of the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ) subscales, a widely used measure of parental feeding practices, among 296 low-income parents of African American preschool children. Confirmatory factor analysis showed an overall poor fit among CFQ subscales; Restriction, Pressure to Eat, and Concern about Child Weight, (chi(2), (df=87=300.249, CFI=1.00...
