In order to improve the specificity and sensitivity of the techniques for the human anisakidosis diagnosis, a method of affinity chromatography for the purification of species-specific antigens from Anisakis simplex third-stage larvae (L3) has been developed. New Zealand rabbits were immunized with A. simplex or Ascaris suum antigens or inoculated with Toxocara canis embryonated eggs. The IgG s...

In topology, a basic building block for spaces is the n-simplex. A 0-simplex is a point, a 1-simplex is a closed interval, a 2-simplex is a triangle, and a 3-simplex is a tetrahedron. In general, an n-simplex is the convex hull of n + 1 vertices in n-dimensional space. One constructs more complicated spaces by gluing together several simplices along their faces, and a space constructed in this ...

Bernstein estimators are well-known to avoid the boundary bias problem of traditional kernel estimators. The theoretical properties these have been studied extensively on compact intervals and hypercubes, but never simplex, except for mean squared error density estimator in Tenbusch (1994) when $d = 2$. simplex is an important case as it natural domain compositional data. In this paper, we make...

A simplex-centroid design for q mixture components comprises of all possible subsets of the q components, present in equal proportions. The design does not contain full mixture blends except the overall centroid. In real-life situations, all mixture blends comprise of at least a minimum proportion of each component. Here, we introduce simplex-centroid designs which contain complete blend...

BACKGROUND Traditional diagnostic tests such as skin prick tests (SPT) and specific IgE (slgE) against whole Anisakis simplex extract have low specificity. Consequently, allergy to A simplex is overdiagnosed. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to compare tests used in component-resolved diagnosis. METHODS We evaluated 34 patients with allergy to A simplex, 15 patients with acute urticaria who were sensi...

We introduce a notion of noncommutative Choquet simplex, or briefly an nc that generalizes the classical simplex. While every simplex is there are many more simplices. They arise naturally from C*-algebras and in dynamics. characterize simplices terms their geometry structural properties corresponding operator systems. There natural definition Bauer show compact convex set if only it affinely h...

In science and engineering there often is a need for the approximation of scattered multi-dimensional data. A class of powerful scattered data approximators are the multivariate simplex B-splines. Multivariate simplex B-splines consist of Bernstein basis polynomials that are defined on a geometrical structure called a triangulation. Multivariate simplex B-splines have a number of advantages ove...

Herpes simplex virus is a leading cause of sporadic encephalitis. While seizures are a common feature of Herpes simplex virus encephalitis, and periods of asystole have been reported in Herpes simplex virus patients, there have been no prior reports of ictal asystole secondary to such an infection.This case report describes a 33 year old, previously healthy, gentleman of Malaysian descent, with...
