68 monoclonal antibodies specific for the hemagglutinin (HA) of the influenza virus, PR8, were obtained from sIg- bone marrow B cell precursors stimulated in splenic fragment cultures. Reactivity pattern (RP) analysis demonstrated that these anti-HA antibody responses included at least 29 distinguishable clonotypes. Comparison of the specificities of anti-HA antibodies obtained from sIg- bone m...

This work presents an approach to improve the interaction process between one GIS (Geographic Information System) and its users. To do this, one inference layer process (1) ontologies composed by the concepts that are manipulated by the SIG and (2) ontologies that represent the knowledge of the SIG users. We have done one case study with the SWIGG, one GIS that is used to environmental studies ...

The Software Improvement Group (SIG) offers specialized services that helps companies gaining insight in their legacy code bases. To this end, the internal design structure of a code base is captured by the SIG in a so called source model. A source model can be used, for example, to estimate the amount of work needed for future modifications or to report on various software metrics of the code ...

BACKGROUND Acid-base abnormalities in neonatal diarrheic calves can be assessed by using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation or the simplified strong ion approach which use the anion gap (AG) or the strong ion gap (SIG) to quantify the concentration of unmeasured strong anions such as D-lactate. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To determine and compare the clinical utility of AG and SIG in quantifying th...

The pan-B and B cell-specific sIg and CD19 antigens are functionally and physically associated in the presence of anti-Ig mAb. Incubation of B cells with anti-Ig antibodies causes rapid, specific, reversible, concentration-dependent, and unidirectional comodulation of CD19 on every mature B cell studied. Comodulation is produced by mAbs specific for the gamma, mu, kappa, and lambda chains of Ig...

The robot studies generally deal with only communication between one robot and one person there have been few discussions of the communication between a robot and plural persons This paper proposes a method enables robot to communicate with plural persons using the selection priority of the partner based on the concept of Proxemics In this method a robot changes sensory motor modality based on ...

We introduce sphere of in"uence graphs (SIGs) in the L∞-metric and study their elementary properties. We argue that SIGs de4ned with the L∞-metric are superior to Euclidean SIGs of Toussaint in capturing low-level perceptual information in certain dot patterns. Every graph without isolated vertices is a SIG in the L∞-metric for all su6ciently high dimensions, and this allows us to de4ne a graph...

BACKGROUND This cohort study compared the prognostic significance of strong ion gap (SIG) with other acid-base markers in the critically ill. METHODS The relationships between SIG, lactate, anion gap (AG), anion gap albumin-corrected (AG-corrected), base excess or strong ion difference-effective (SIDe), all obtained within the first hour of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and the hospita...

Bulk (RE)–Ba–Cu–O ((RE)BCO, where RE stands for rare-earth), single grain superconductors can trap magnetic fields of several tesla at low temperatures and therefore can function potentially as high field magnets. Although top seeded melt growth (TSMG) is an established process for fabricating relatively high quality single grains of (RE)BCO for high field applications, this technique suffers f...
