The early cytokines production in response to live logarithmic and stationary phase promastigotes of Leishmania major was examined on the peripheral blood cells of the healthy individuals. Whole blood cultures were stimulated by either logarithmic or stationary phase promastigotes. IFN- and IL-10 productions were assessed by specific sandwich ELISA. The results showed that the logarithmic prom...

In the limit of an asymptotically large diffusivity ratio of order O(ε) ≫ 1, steady-state spatially periodic patterns of localized spots, where the spots are centred at lattice points of a Bravais lattice, are well-known to exist for certain twocomponent reaction-diffusion systems (RD) in R. For the Schnakenberg RD model, such a localized periodic spot pattern is linearly unstable when the diff...

This paper is the second of a set of 3 papers dealing with the role of coherent partitioning as a common element in Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR), by which is meant cold-fusion related processes. This paper discusses the first step in a sequence of 4 steps that seem to be necessary to explain Iwamura 2-alpha-addition surface transmutations. Three concepts are examined: saltmetal interface...

We study the quantum dynamics of solitonlike domain walls in anisotropic spin1 2 chains in the presence of magnetic fields. In the absence of fields, domain walls form a Bloch band of delocalized quantum states while a static field applied along the easy axis localizes them into Wannier wave packets and causes them to execute Bloch oscillations, i.e., the domain walls oscillate along the chain ...

Bloch points in permalloy cylinders are investigated using a micromagnetic framework, where thermal effects are included via the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation of motion. We show that this enables micromagnetic modeling of a Bloch point avoiding the problem of singularities, which have been rep0l1ed in the literature so far. The details of the Bloch point which we reveal are compared with earli...

‎We define hyperbolic harmonic $omega$-$alpha$-Bloch space‎ ‎$mathcal{B}_omega^alpha$ in the unit ball $mathbb{B}$ of ${mathbb R}^n$ and‎ ‎characterize it in terms of‎ ‎$$frac{omegabig((1-|x|^2)^{beta}(1-|y|^2)^{alpha-beta}big)|f(x)-f(y)|}{[x,y]^gamma|x-y|^{1-gamma}‎},$$ where $0leq gammaleq 1$‎. ‎Similar results are extended to‎ ‎little $omega$-$alpha$-Bloch and Besov spaces‎. ‎These obtained‎...

Homecare, i.e., supportive care provided at the patients’ homes, is established as a prevalent alternative to unnecessary hospitalization or institutional care (e.g., in a rest home or a nursing home). These activities are provided either by healthcare professional or by nonmedical caregivers, depending on the patient’s needs (e.g., medical care or just instrumental activities of daily living)....

This paper considers a constraint-based scheduling approach to the flexible jobshop, a generalization of the traditional jobshop scheduling where activities have a choice of machines. It studies both large neighborhood (LNS) and adaptive randomized decomposition (ARD) schemes, using random, temporal, and machine decompositions. Empirical results on standard benchmarks show that, within 5 minute...

In this work, we study the Bloch wave decomposition for the Stokes equations in a periodic media in Rd. We prove that, because of the incompressibility constraint, the Bloch eigenvalues, as functions of the Bloch frequency ξ, are not continuous at the origin. Nevertheless, when ξ goes to zero in a fixed direction, we exhibit a new limit spectral problem for which the eigenvalues are directional...
