Learning a deep model from small data is yet an opening and challenging problem. We focus on one-shot classification by deep learning approach based on a small quantity of training samples. We proposed a novel deep learning approach named Local Contrast Learning (LCL) based on the key insight about a human cognitive behavior that human recognizes the objects in a specific context by contrasting...

Individuals with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease lack invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells and are exquisitely susceptible to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. To determine whether iNKT cells recognize or regulate EBV, resting B cells were infected with EBV in the presence or absence of iNKT cells. The depletion of iNKT cells increased both viral titers and the frequency of EBV-infect...

The abundance of macrophages in localized cutaneous leishmaniasis (LCL) and diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis (DCL) lesions and differences in the composition of T cell subsets indicate involvement of cell-specific chemotaxis processes. The expression of macrophage chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1 alpha and -1 beta, RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T...

Most studies on immune response in human cutaneous leishmaniasis evaluate patients with active disease in comparison with healthy uninfected controls or patients that have had the lesions healed, however, little is known about the immune response associated with natural resistance. In this paper we evaluate the cytokine expression patterns of T-cells and the plasmatic levels of nitrite and nitr...

Fusion of the highly tumorigenic Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) cell line BL60-P7 with the nontumorigenic autologous EBV-immortalized lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) IARC 277 results in suppression of the tumorigenic phenotype of the parental cell line BL60-P7 after s.c. inoculation into T cell-deficient nude mice. We analyzed whether, after long-term cultivation of these lymphoma hybrid cells, express...

Unfettered inflammation is thought to play critical role in the development of different clinical forms of tegumentary leishmaniasis. Eicosanoids are potent mediators of inflammation and tightly associated with modulation of immune responses. In this cross-sectional exploratory study, we addressed whether targets from the eicosanoid biosynthetic pathway, assessed by multiplexed expression assay...

Induction heating is a famous technology and very filter, and a resonant inverter(8). V) this voltage enough to control of the IGBT circuit. 4IGBT. It is compared with the existing inverter topologies, half bridge and full bridge. The ordinary circuit of an AC-AC converter for induction heating typically includes a control rectifier By adjusting thewidth of the pulse that turns ON the IGBT. Abs...

An 88-year-old man with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) who had been treated with low dose prednisolone developed a sudden worsening of his anemia accompanied by reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). We established EBV-infected spontaneous lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL), performed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assay, and confirmed a significantly suppressed EBV-specific cytotoxic ...

In the present article, adsorbent prepared from laterite with lanthanum and cerium oxides (La2O3-CeO2/laterite (LCL)) was efficiently employed for removal of arsenite fluoride an aqueous environment. The obtained materials were characterized by XRD, SEM, nitrogen adsorption/desorption. synthesized LCL exhibited a high adsorption capacity towards (As(III)) fluoride. both analytes on LCL, which w...
