Lactoferrin (LF) is an important immune protein in neutrophils and secretory fluids of mammals. Bovine LF (bLF) harbours two antimicrobial stretches, lactoferricin and lactoferampin, situated in close proximity in the N1 domain. To mimic these antimicrobial domain parts a chimeric peptide (LFchimera) has been constructed comprising parts of both stretches (LFcin17-30 and LFampin265-284). To inv...

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) during pregnancy continues to be of world-wide concern. IDA is a risk factor for preterm delivery and subsequent low birth weight, and possibly for poor neonatal health. Iron supplementation in pregnancy is a widely recommended practice, yet intervention programs have met with many controversies. In our study, 300 women at different trimesters of pregnancy were enro...

In our submission we use a set of so-called block-level features (BLF) for three different tasks, namely genre classification, tag classification and music similarity estimation. Compared to the submission in 2010 two additional feature were added to the feature set. This abstract gives an overview on the feature set and presents some specific details of the submitted algorithms.

Although both lactoferrin (Lf), a component of the innate immune system of living organisms, and its N-terminal pepsin cleavage product lactoferricin (Lfcin) have anti-herpes activity, the precise mechanisms by which Lf and Lfcin bring about inhibition of herpes infections are not fully understood. In the present study, experiments were carried out to characterize the activity of bovine Lf and ...

Electromyography (EMG) is the study of the skeletal muscle function and the contraction of the skeletal muscle result in the generation of action potential in the individual muscle fibers, it from get information in the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders. Suitable removal of baseline fluctuation of EMG signals is very important issue when recoding EMG signals as it may be degrade quality and ...

This paper investigates the automatic berthing problem of underactuated surface vessels in case uncertain dynamics and yaw rate limitation, given importance control unmeasurable hydrodynamic parameters vessel at low speeds. First, we use differential homeomorphism coordinate transformation to solve underactuation. Second, a radial basis function network (RBF) is introduced approximate unknown n...

This article investigates the tracking problem of an uncertain $n$ -link robot manipulator with guaranteed safety and performance. To tackle parametric uncertainties, torque filtering-augmented concurrent learning (CL) method is introduced for online identification unknown system without requirements joints acceleration. By...

This article addresses the challenging problem of fixed-time output-constrained synchronization for master–slave chaotic financial systems with unknown parameters and perturbations. A neural adaptive control approach is originally proposed aid barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) network (NN) identification. The BLF introduced to preserve errors always within predefined output constraints. NN adopte...

The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the effect of bovine lactoferrin (bLF)-loaded gelatin microspheres (GM) used in combination with anorganic bovine bone on bone regeneration in surgically created bone defects around tooth implants. Twenty-four uniform bone defects were created in the frontal bone via an extraoral approach in 12 domestic pigs. Twenty-four implants were placed at...
