Immunology: Roving lymphocytes

Chapter 2 B Lymphocytes in Cancer Immunology

J. Medin and D. Fowler (eds.), Experimental and Applied Immunotherapy, DOI 10.1007/978-1-60761-980-2_2, © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 Abstract The role of B lymphocytes in the pathogenesis and treatment of cancer has not received as much attention as the role of T cells. However, most patients with solid tumors harbor circulating antitumor antibodies and most tumors contain a popu...

Roving Wireless Sensor Network

Mobile wireless sensor networks show great potential in a number of important disciplines such as search-and-rescue, military reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, and extraterrestrial exploration. This project focuses on the embedded system design acting as a test bed for experimentation. Keywords-component; networks; sensors; wireless; autonomous; robots; distributed; rover; energy harves...

Roving Faster Farther Cheaper

Current Mars rovers travel a few kilometers per year. Future rovers will need to travel a couple orders of magnitude faster than that in order to move from safe landing zones to areas of scientific interest – which may be many 10s of kilometers away from a suitable landing location. This paper describes a recent field test of the SR-II rover. SR-II is a 22kg solar powered autonomous rover, whic...

Randomly roving agents for intrusion detection

Agent based intrusion detection systems (IDS) have advantages such as scalability, recon gurability, and survivability. In this paper, we introduce a mobile-agent based IDS, called ABIDE (Agent Based Intrusion Detection Environment). ABIDE is comprised of various types of agents, all of which are mobile, lightweight, and specialized. The most common form of agent is the DMA (Data Mining Agent),...
