the early cytokines production in response to live logarithmic and stationary phase promastigotes of leishmania major was examined on the peripheral blood cells of the healthy individuals. whole blood cultures were stimulated by either logarithmic or stationary phase promastigotes. ifn- and il-10 productions were assessed by specific sandwich elisa. the results showed that the logarithmic prom...

abstract       background and objective: agr is the most important regulatory system for the expression of staphylococcus aureus virulence factors in different conditions. agr acts as a quorum sensing system in this bacterium which is activated by increased cell concentration during the transition from logarithmic growth phase to stationary phase. its role is to upregulate the secretory virulen...

Previous works demonstrated that various species of Leishmania promastigotes exhibit differential sensitivity to complement-mediated lysis (CML) during development. Upon exposure to normal human serum (NHS), cultures of Leishmania chagasi promastigotes recently isolated from infected hamsters (fewer than 5 in vitro passages) are CML-sensitive when in the logarithmic growth phase but become CML-...

Novelty is an important psychological construct that affects both perceptual and behavioral processes. Here, we propose a lexical novelty score (LNS) for a song’s lyric, based on the statistical properties of a corpus of 275,905 lyrics (available at www.smcnus.org/lyrics/). A lyric-level LNS was derived as a function of the inverse document frequencies of its unique words. An artist-level LNS w...

Abstract An interparticle interaction potential has been recently proposed in studies of condensate-like systems described by logarithmically nonlinear equations, such as the superfluid helium-4 and Korteweg-type melts. It shape a Gaussian multiplied linear function can switch between attraction repulsion regimes distance varies. We consider classical fluid model with discretized version this M...

We examine the Kosterlitz–Thouless universality class and show that conventional (essential) scaling at this type of phase transition is self–consistent only if modified by multiplicative logarithmic corrections. In the case of specific heat these logarithmic corrections are identified analytically. To identify those corresponding to the susceptibility we set up a numerical method involving the...
