Three murine monoclonal anti-ssDNA autoantibodies have been produced by fusion of spleen cells from NZB/NZW F1 hybrid mice with Sp2/0-Ag 14 murine myeloma cells. Specificity studies characterizing monoclonal anti - ssDNA autoantibodies revealed binding patterns for nucleotides. Clone E-4-1 showed preferential binding with mono-di-and polyguanosine. Clones E-4-4 and E-11-1 specitically bound mon...

Early planning, a programme-wide approach, consideration of centralised procurement and analysis of all stakeholder requirements were key to delivering Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Security and Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) systems across multiple capital projects on a single campus. This enabled Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) delivered systems to be operationally effect...

RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Establishing the relationship between various doses of an exposure and a response variable is integral to many studies in health care. Linear parametric models, widely used for estimating dose-response relationships, have several limitations. This paper employs the optimal discriminant analysis (ODA) machine-learning algorithm to determine the degree to which expo...

In Canada, although opinions vary on what specific measures are most appropriate to support our economy during the present economic crisis, most appear to agree that the federal government needs to intervene. In light of the broad support for financial rescue efforts aimed at the domestic economy, it seems fair to ask what portion of the Canadian budget, if any, should be allocated to internati...

Per-survivor iterative timing recovery was proposed by Kovintavewat, Barry, Erden, and Kurtas [1] to perform timing recovery, equalization, and errorcorrection decoding jointly. In this paper, we investigate the robustness of this scheme in the situation where the channel is dominated by media jitter noise. We apply the pattern-dependent noisepredictive (PDNP) technique to per-survivor iterativ...

Linear stability analysis of the three dimensional plane wake flow is performed using a mapped finite di?erence scheme in a domain which is doubly infinite in the cross–stream direction of wake flow. The physical domain in cross–stream direction is mapped to the computational domain using a cotangent mapping of the form y = ?cot(??). The Squire transformation [2], proposed by Squire, is also us...

Structural damage can be controlled in performance based seismic design (PBSD) according to the requirement under a certain hazard level. During strong ground motion (GM) such buildings suffer minor to major damages depending on the shaking level of GM. The available damage assessment methods are complex, tedious and time-consuming procedure. In the present study, a simplified empirical model h...

Mathematical algorithms offer a useful method for quantitative analysis of compounds in multi-component mixtures to overcome the overlapping problems occurred in UV spectrophotometry. The aim of this study is to develop a method to determine the bioactive compounds in herbal dosage forms produced from fenugreek extract. A UV- spectrophotometric method based on mathematical algorithm was used to...
