We introduce the decomposability spectrum KD = {λ ≥ ω|D is λ-decomposable} of an ultrafilter D, and show that Shelah’s pcf theory influences the possible values KD can take. For example, we show that if a is a set of regular cardinals, μ ∈ pcf a, the ultrafilter D is |a|-complete and KD ⊆ a, then μ ∈ KD. As a consequence, we show that if λ is singular and for some λ < λ KD contains all regular ...

Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most common acquired cardiac disease in children in developed nations. The etiology of KD is unknown but likely to be a ubiquitous microbial agent. Previously, we showed that oligoclonal IgA plasma cells infiltrate coronary arteries and other inflamed tissues in acute KD. We demonstrated that a synthetic Ab made using an alpha H chain sequence prevalent in acute KD ...

The stoichiometry, cellular location, glycosylation, and hydrophobic properties of the components in the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex were examined. The 156, 59, 50, 43, and 35 kd dystrophin-associated proteins each possess unique antigenic determinants, enrich quantitatively with dystrophin, and were localized to the skeletal muscle sarcolemma. The 156, 50, 43, and 35 kd dystrophin-associat...

Abstract Background Kimura’s disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory of unknown etiology. Clinically, KD characterized by nodular subcutaneous masses, that are typically localized to the neck and head. Involvement lacrimal glands limbs uncommon seldom reported. Case presentation We report case 4-year-old Japanese boy presenting with bilateral upper eyelid swelling lesions peripheral eosinop...

The quantization of deep neural networks (QDNNs) has been actively studied for deployment in edge devices. Recent studies employ the knowledge distillation (KD) method to improve performance quantized networks. In this study, we propose stochastic precision ensemble training QDNNs (SPEQ). SPEQ is a scheme; however, teacher formed by sharing model parameters student network. We obtain soft label...

Telah dilakukan simulasi proses pengisian muatan pada rangkaian RLC. Penelitian ini merupakan studi yang bertujuan untuk mengontrol RLC sehingga berjalan lebih cepat dan stabil. Simulasi menggunakan simulink Matlab dengan menerapkan variasi metode PID (PD, PI PID) memperhatikan variasi-variasi nilai konstanta proporsional (Kp), integral (Ki) derivative (Kd). Hasil diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa ko...

We have used immunoblotting of purified factor VIII (FVIII) to determine whether or not changes in FVIII chain specificity occur during the course of an inhibitor. Serial plasma samples from 15 inhibitor patients (13 hemophilic and two spontaneous) were analyzed. Nine of the 15 antibodies, all with epitopes on the 44-kilodalton (Kd) thrombin fragment of the 92-Kd FVIII heavy chain and/or the 72...

BACKGROUND Kawasaki disease (KD) is an illness of unknown etiology that mostly occurs in children under 5 years of age and is the leading cause of acquired heart disease all over the world. Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) was one of the likely causative agents of KD. However, the etiologic effect of MP in KD has not been fully recognized. METHODS We prospectively analyzed the clinical records of 4...

Obesity is a worldwide public health concern, and prevalence in the United States continuously increasing. Treatment of obesity ranges from dietary approaches to gastric surgery; there no one-size-fits-all approach. In recent years, ketogenic diet (KD) has become popular approach for weight loss metabolic promotion. The main mechanism caused by this promote body use fat as its primary form ener...

The photochemical properties of purified 124 kilodalton (kD) Avena cv Garry phytochrome are examined and compared with those of the proteolytically degraded 118/114 kD species. The proportion of the chromoprotein in the far red absorbing form, Pfr, following saturating red irradiation is 0.86 for 124 kD phytochrome, substantially higher than the values of 0.79 determined here and 0.75 reported ...
