The aim of these studies was to determine whether unresponsiveness to the main determinant of penicillin, benzylpenicilloyl, can be induced in human peripheral lymphocytes in vitro by conjugates of benzylpenicilloyl (BPO) autologous gamma globulin (HGG). Initially it was shown that conjugates of BPO-keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) elicited lymphocyte proliferation in the peripheral blood lympho...

Aggelos K. Katsaggelos Northwestern University McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Evanston, Illinois 60208 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. We develop a regularized mixed-norm image restoration algorithm to deal with various types of noise. A mixed-norm functional is introduced, which combines the least mean square (LMS) and t...

The Large Machine Factory (LMF) was built in the complex historical context of late Qing Dynasty (1840–1912). Its space and construction faithfully record architectural cultural fusion between Chinese western traditions mark beginning modern techniques China. Through data empirical studies, background characteristics LMF were analyzed, interventions aimed at ensuring authenticity established. s...

Cancer patients with weight loss showed urinary excretion of a lipid-mobilizing factor (LMF), determined by the ability to stimulate lipolysis in isolated murine epididymal adipocytes. Such bioactivity was not detectable in the urine of cancer patients without weight loss or in normal subjects. The LMF was purified using a combination of ion exchange, exclusion, and hydrophobic interaction chro...

The effect of frog skeletal muscle incubate on fatigue was studied in frog sciatic nerve, sartorius muscle preparation. Fatigue was produced by prolonged repetitive (1 s-1) stimulation of motor nerve or of curarized muscle. The incubate partially restored isometric contraction amplitudes of muscle fatigued by nerve stimulation. This effect of partial recovery from fatigue (PRF effect) was exert...

This study aimed to examine the effects of kinesiology taping (KT) and different TRX suspension workouts on the amplitude of electromyographic (EMG) activity in the core muscles among people with chronic low back pain (LBP). Each participant (total n = 21) was exposed to two KT conditions: no taping and taping, while performing four TRX suspension exercises: (1) hamstring curl, (2) hip abductio...

ABSTRACT: Salmonella is a relevant pathogen, which causes foodborne outbreaks associated with both high and low moisture foods (LMF). This study evaluated the effect of previous desiccation stress on acid resistance S. Typhimurium ATCC 14028 using blanched peanut kernels as an LMF model. was recovered from samples throughout 180 days storage at 28 ºC. During this period two death rates were ver...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that allows every object or item to become part the and interact with each other. One technologies based on IoT Long Range (LoRa). Apart from increasing number services, security aspects separate issue in development IoT. solutions utilize blockchain topology secure data transactions occur network. can take minutes compute cryptographic chain. It als...

This paper relates work done during the DiLAF project. It consists in converting 5 bilingual African language-French dictionaries originally in Word format into XML following the LMF model. The languages processed are Bambara, Hausa, Kanuri, Tamajaq and Songhai-zarma, still considered as under-resourced languages concerning Natural Language Processing tools. Once converted, the dictionaries are...
