objective: il18 is a cytokine that plays an important role in the t-cell-helper type 1 (th1) response and hence, plasmid-encoded il18 is considered as a potent genetic adjuvant for dna vaccine studies. in this study, a bicistronic eukaryotic plasmid capable of secreting a more stable mouse il18 (fused with fcγ2a fragment) was constructed and expression of this chimer cytokine was also assessed....

When preferences are such that there is no unique additive prior, the issue of which updating rule to use is of extreme importance. This paper presents an axiomatization of the rule which requires updating of all the priors by Bayes rule. The decision maker has conditional preferences over acts. It is assumed that preferences over acts conditional on eventE happening, do not depend on lotteries...

Judice and Pires developed in recent years principal pivoting methods for the solving of the so-called box linear complementarity problems (BLCPs) where the constraint matrices are restrictedly supposed to be of P–matrices. This paper aims at presenting a new principal pivoting scheme for BLCPs where the constraint matrices are loosely supposed to be row sufficient. This scheme can be applied t...
