Ag presentation within the regional lymph node is crucial for the initiation of CD8+ T cell responses following viral infection. The magnitude and quality of the CD8+ T cell response are regulated by the interplay between the size of the APC population and duration of Ag presentation. To understand how these parameters are finely regulated during an immune response, we have investigated the dyn...

introduction: ramadan is the 9th  islamic lunar month during which muslims avoid eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset.  the effect of ramadan intermittent fasting on asthma control is controversial.  the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ramadan fasting on the spirometric variables and clinical symptoms on well-controlled asthmatic patients during ramadan. material and m...

The US Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration recently predicted that world oil production could continue to increase for more than three decades, based on the recent US Geological Survey (USGS) evaluation of world oil resources and a simple, transparent model. However, it can be shown that this model is not consistent with actual oil production records in many different regio...

The effect of 10, 100, 1000, 10,000 ppm of ethylene, applied for 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours, on the ripening rate of "Hass" avocado (Persea americana Mill.) fruits at three stages of maturity was investigated. Ethylene treatments were started either immediately after picking or 2 days later. A sharp peak of ethylene production was found to precede full softening by about 2 days and the occurrence o...

in this investigation 13699 data related to milk production from 2716 holstein first calving and daughter from 167 sire cows were analyzed based on random regression model (rr/cf) and reml method incomplete lactating (5-90 days) and (5-120 days) in correlations to complete lactating were 0.67 and 0.72, respectively with progress in complete 5-240 day was 0.91 the correlation value for lactating...

The data pertaining to variable production and reproduction traits of Murrah buffaloes (1980 lactation records of 698 Murrah buffaloes) were collected from the Central Cattle Breeding Farm, Alamadhi, Tamil Nadu, India. The overall leastsquares means (± SE) for peak yield, days to attain peak yield, 305-day milk yield, lactation length, lactation milk yield, service period, calving interval and ...

Video quality assessment is widely used for signal measure. Classic method is often use algebra method for make a compute model, such as PSNR, which often lead to difficult for alignment of video sequence number and it limit its application in real world. This paper presents a novel method bases on high dimensional space. The method considers a image as a point in high dimensional space and mak...

The existing rate control schemes in the literature evaluate their video quality performance in terms of traditional PSNR. Actually, this evaluation may not be good because this measurement is not the same as that judged by human. This work defines a perceptual quality measure based on the human vision system. The modified rate control includes the perceptual consideration. The results show tha...
