Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) have long been used in the field of computer security and especially in Intrusion Detection systems. Intrusion detection based on AISs falls into two main categories. The first generation of AIS is inspired from adaptive immune reactions but, the second one which is called danger theory focuses on both adaptive and innate reactions to build a more biologically-re...

BACKGROUND Dental caries is the most common microbial disease affecting mankind. Caries risk assessment methods, identification of biomarkers and vaccine development strategies are being emphasized to control the incidence of the largely preventable disease. Pattern recognition receptors such as the toll like receptors (TLR) have been implicated as modulators of host-microbial interactions. Sol...

BACKGROUND Severely collapsed vertebral compression fracture (VCF) is usually considered as a contraindication for vertebroplasty because of critically decreased vertebral height (less than one-third the original height). However, osteoporotic VCF can possess dynamic mobility with intravertebral cleft (IVC), which can be demonstrated on supine lateral radiographs (SuLR) and standing lateral rad...

BACKGROUND Pleurodesis with talc has been used for many years. No objective criteria of inflammatory symptoms are known in order to use them to predict the effect of therapy and selection of patients. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY To objectify the course of local inflammatory changes in the pleural cavity, quantify their dynamics in a clinically used procedure, and to determine specific predictors of ...

The most recent reactor technology to produce non-ionic surfactants via ethoxylation reaction is illustrated in the present work. advanced reactors are deeply for what concerns working principle and main performance. In detail, Venturi Loop Reactor (VLR), Spray Tower (STLR) Enhanced (ELR) depicted, related performance compared. ELR shows highest flexibility, reach desired degree, at same time g...
