Abstract This paper draws a link between what happens in maker spaces and how these processes can be simulated the mathematical collaborative model (co-model) of research through design (co-design) process (RTC). The result is ability to identify main variables for simulating “making” dynamics RTC model. outcome discussed with an emphasis on “intangible” role “making,” alongside proposed concep...

The FAB classification of acute leukemias was proposed by a cooperative French-American-British group as an easily applied classification useful for uniform assessment of large clinical therapeutic trials. Although the classification is based on morphological criteria, cytochemical, biochemical, immunological and cytogenetic studies supplement the morphologic criteria for accurate identificatio...

Substance-dependence is highly associated with executive cognitive function (ECF) impairments. However, considering that it is difficult to assess ECF clinically, the aim of the present study was to examine the feasibility of a brief neuropsychological tool (the Frontal Assessment Battery - FAB) to detect specific ECF impairments in a sample of substance-dependent individuals (SDI). Sixty-two s...

We have characterized a murine monoclonal antibody (MAb 35), which was raised against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integration protein (IN), and the corresponding Fab 35. Although MAb 35 does not inhibit HIV-1 IN, Fab 35 does. MAb 35 (and Fab 35) binds to an epitope in the C-terminal region of HIV-1 IN. Fab 35 inhibits 3'-end processing, strand transfer, and disintegration; howev...

This paper addresses the issue of model selection for hidden Markov models (HMMs). We generalize factorized asymptotic Bayesian inference (FAB), which has been recently developed for model selection on independent hidden variables (i.e., mixture models), for time-dependent hidden variables. As with FAB in mixture models, FAB for HMMs is derived as an iterative lower bound maximization algorithm...

We report the effect of Fab' (anti-60k) to a 60,000 mol wt gelatin binding domain of fibronectin (1981, J. Biol. Chem. 256:5583) on diploid fibroblast (IMR-90) extracellular fibronectin and collagen organization. Anti-60k Fab' did not inhibit IMR-90 attachment or proliferation in fibronectin-depleted medium. Fibroblasts cultured with preimmune Fab' deposited a dense extracellular network of fib...

Introduction Nanoparticles (NPs) modified with bio-ligands represent a promising strategy for active targeted drug delivery to tumour. However, many targeted ligands, such as trastuzumab (TMAB), have high molecular weight, limiting their application for targeting. In this study, we prepared Fab' (antigen-binding fragments cut from TMAB)-modified NPs (Fab'-NPs) with curcumin (Cur) as a model dru...

Specific localization of purified antibody against cardiac myosin has been demonstrated in areas of altered myocardial membrane permeability after experimental myocardial infarction. Intravenously administered radioiodine-labeled antimyosin was selectively localized in infarcted myocardium of seven dogs 24 h after coronary occlusion. The mean ratio (+/-SE) of antimyosin antibody in infarcted to...
