In an earlier study, we showed that a recombinant adenovirus vector with deletions in the E1 and E3 regions of the viral genome (AV1LacZ4) induces expression of interleukin (IL)-8 in A549 cells (a human respiratory cell line). IL-8 can be induced through several pathways, including activation by IL-1. We tested the hypothesis that the induction of IL-8 by the AV1LacZ4 adenovirus is accomplished...

Snowden, Wichter, and Gray (2008) demonstrated that an Implicit Association Test and a Priming Task both predicted the sexual orientation of gynephilic and androphilic men in terms of their attraction biases towards pictures of nude males and females. For both measures, relative bias scores were obtained, with no information on the separate response biases to each target gender. The present stu...

Insulin regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) recognises "AT(4)-receptor" ligands like angiotensin IV (Ang IV) and peptidomimetics like AL-11. The metabolic stability and high affinity of [(3)H]AL-11 for catalytically active IRAP allowed its detection in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cell membranes in the absence of chelators (Demaegdt et al., 2009). Here, we show that, contrary to [(3)H]Ang IV, [(3...

Collisions in overlapping channels can be a major problem in thedeployment of high-speed OFDM networks. In this paper, we presentRemap, a simple, novel paradigm for handling collisions in over-lapping OFDM channels. Remap introduces a novel concept ofretransmission permutation that permutes the bit-to-subcarrier as-signment after each transmission, departing from the traditi...

A growing body of work suggests that both depressed and non-depressed individuals display implicit positivity towards the self. In the current study, we examined whether this positivity can be underpinned by two qualitatively distinct propositions related to actual ('I am good') or ideal ('I want to be good') self-esteem. Dysphoric and non-dysphoric participants completed a self-esteem Implicit...
