Multicellular animals detect pathogens via a set of receptors that recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). However, pathogens are not the only causative agents of tissue and cell damage: trauma is another one. Evidence is accumulating that trauma and its associated tissue damage are recognized at the cell level via receptor-mediated detection of intracellular proteins released...

The digital gates are basic electronic component of any digital circuit. Digital circuit should be simplified in order to reduce its cost by reducing number of digital gates required to implement it. To achieve this, we use Boolean expression that helps in obtaining minimum number of terms and does not contain any redundant pair. Karnaugh map (K-map) and Quine-McCluskey (QM) methods are well kn...

Continuous stage conversion and swift changes in the antigenic repertoire in response to acquired immunity are hallmarks of complex eukaryotic pathogens, including Plasmodium species, the causative agents of malaria. Efficient elimination of Plasmodium liver stages prior to blood infection is one of the most promising malaria vaccine strategies. Here, we describe different genetically arrested ...

A COMBINED CHANNEL-MODIFIED ADAPTIVE ARRAY MMSE CANCELLER AND VITERBI EQUALIZER by Richard M Friedman In this thesis, a very simple scheme is proposed which couples a maximum-likelihood sequence estimator (MLSE) with a X-element canceller. The method makes use of the MLSE's channel estimator to modify the locally generated training sequence used to calculate the antenna array weights. This meth...

concrete bridge deck damage detection by measurement and monitoring variables related to vibration signatures is one of the main tasks of any bridge health monitoring system (bhms). generally damage puts some detectable/discoverable signs in the parameters of bridge vibration behavior. however, differences between frequency and mode shape before and after damage are not remarkable as vibration ...

in this study, an extended stress-based forming limit diagram (fld) for prediction of necking based on the marciniak and kucznski (m-k) model is represented and applied in tube hydroforming. the bulge forming of a straight tube is simulated by finite element method and verified with published experimental data. this adaptive simulation technique is based on the ability to detect the onset and g...

Among the adaptive-grid methods, redistribution and embedding techniques have been the focus of more attention by researchers. Simultaneous or combined adaptive techniques have also been used. This paper describes a combination of adaptive-grid embedding and redistribution methods on semi-structured grids for two-dimensional invisid flows. Since the grid is semi-structured, it is possible to us...

Recently hybrid evolutionary computation (EC) techniques are successfully implemented for solving large sets of linear equations. All the recently developed hybrid evolutionary algorithms, for solving linear equations, contain both the recombination and the mutation operations. In this paper, two modified hybrid evolutionary algorithms contained time-variant adaptive evolutionary technique are ...
