Dendritic cells (DCs) were first described by Steinman and Cohn in 1973 (1) as cells provided of efficient antigen-presenting capacity. Steinmann received the Nobel Prize in 2011 for having revealed the pivotal role of DCs in linking innate and adaptive immunity and initiating antigen-specific immunity (2). The work conducted by Steinman was also instrumental in determining the role of DCs not ...

New concepts in the manipulation of time in video editing are presented, enabling some unique visual effects. These effects include (i) slowing down (or postponing) some dynamic events while speeding up (or advancing) others. (ii) Creating dynamic panoramic images of dynamic scenes. (iii) Generating new views of a scene without a 3D model. (iv) Creating panoramic stereo images. Time manipulatio...

INTRODUCTION Interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6 and IL-12 might associate with inflammatory processes in a tumor progression and create a specific microenvironment for tumor growth. The aim of the study was to assess whether the Th1 and Th2 type cytokines, such as IL-2 and IL-10, affect ovarian carcinoma continuous cell line (SKOV-3) pro-inflammatory activation. MATERIAL AND METHODS SKOV-3 ovarian cell...

By taking the governing measure of a Dirichlet process as essentially the realization of a Dirichlet process itself, a hierarchical Dirichlet process emerges. This distribution enables the Bayesian treatment of two level hierarchical random effects models, with results paralleling those of Ferguson (1973).

The model is a DP mixture of normals for related random probability measures Hj . Each random measure is assumed to arise as a mixture Hj = F0 + (1 − )Fj of one common distribution F0 and a distribution Fj that is specific to the j-th submodel. See Mueller, Quintana and Rosner (2004) for details of the model. In summary, the implemented model is as follows. Without loss of generality we assume ...
