T cell responses to myelin basic protein (MBP) are potentially involved in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Immunization with irradiated MBP-reactive T cells (T cell vaccination) induces anti-idiotypic T cell responses that suppress circulating MBP-reactive T cells. This T cell-T cell interaction is thought to involve the recognition of TCR expressed on target T cells. The study was...

In developing a software system, we would like to be able to estimate the way in which the fault content changes during its development, as well as determining the locations having the highest concentration of faults, In the phases prior to test, however, there maybe very little direct information regarding the number and location of faults. This lack of direct information requires the developm...

design and expansion of distribution systems seems inevitable in view of the need to satisfy the rise in energy consumption in a technical and economical way. optimal location, sizing and determining the service area of substations is one of the principle problems in expansion of distribution systems. also uncertainty is one of the important factors that increase risk of exact decision makings....

Abstract The energy demand has risen dramatically in recent years as a result of population growth and the fast expansion global economy. Due to rising carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions increasing needs, Malaysia recently intensified its efforts encourage development renewable supplies. Despite abundance solar resources, PV underdeveloped countries such is moving slower. advantage generation since...

In this paper, based on maximizing the outrigger-belt truss system’s strain energy, a methodology for determining the optimum location of a flexible outrigger system is presented. Tall building structures with combined systems of framed tube, shear core, belt truss and outrigger system are modeled using continuum approach. In this approach, the framed tube sys...
