Both the complement system and tissue factor (TF), a key initiating component of coagulation, are activated in sepsis, and cross-talk occurs between the complement and coagulation systems. C1-inhibitor (C1-INH) can act as a regulator in both systems. Our aim in this study was to examine this cross-talk by investigating the effects of C1-INH on Escherichia coli-induced haemostasis and inflammati...

Hereditary angioedema (HAE), an auto-somal dominant disorder characterized by attacks of episodic edema is associated with decreased functional levels of the C1 esterase inhibitor. Approximately 85% of patients have lowered antigen levels of a normal inhibitor protein. 15% of patients have normal or elevated antigenic levels of functionless protein. We have examined the response to danazol ther...

In this paper d2 degree of a vertex and total d2 -degree of a vertex in an intuitionistic fuzzy graphs are defined. Also (2, (c1, c2))-regularity and totally (2, (c1, c2))-regularity of an intuitionistic fuzzy graphs are defined. A relation between (2, (c1, c2))-regularity and totally (2, (c1, c2))-regularity on intuitionistic fuzzy graph is studied. (2, (c1, c2))regularity on a path on four ve...

• Dictatorship: ( 1, . . . , n) = 1 • Democracy: When |C| = 2, c1 ( 1, . . . , n) c2 iff |{i : c1 i c2}| ≥ |{i : c2 i c1}|. Theorem 4.3. When |C| = 2, majority voting is the only social welfare functional that is monotone (an agent’s preference change from c1 to c2 does not cause the global preference to change from c2 to c1) and symmetric with respect to agents (permuting the agents does not c...

Lemma 8. Given an m × m symmetric matrix A and a target rank k, we let C1 contain the c1 columns of A selected by a column sampling algorithm such that the following inequality holds: ∥∥A− PC1A∥∥2F ≤ f∥∥A−Ak∥∥2F . Then we select c2 = kf −1 columns to construct C2 and c3 = (c1+ c2) −1 columns to construct C3, both using the adaptive sampling according to the residual B1 = A − PC1A and B2 = A − P...

--In this paper, we propose the C1-Networks, including the Complete C1-Networks and the Incomplete C1Networks, which are evolved from the B-Networks. The main difference between the Complete C1-Networks and the BNetworks is their connecting pattern between the stages. The available MINs to date are almost all restricted by the port number in the power of 2. The C1-Network is not under the contr...

(a) The hypothesis states that f(n) ∈ Ω(g(n)), from which it follows that f(n) ≥ c1 · g(n), for some c1 > 0 and all n ≥ N1. Likewise, we have g(n) ∈ Ω(h(n)), which implies that g(n) ≥ c2 · h(n), for some c2 > 0 and all n ≥ N2. Observe that for all n ≥ N3 = max (N1, N2), we have f(n) ≥ c1 ·gn and g(n) ≥ c2 ·hn and therefore, f(n) ≥ c1 · c2 · h(n). Putting c3 = c1 · c2, we get f(n) ≥ c3 · h(n), f...

Given two concepts C1 and C2 with types T1 and T2, Garner and Tsui (1987) have proposed a modification of Sowa’s semantic distance between C1 and C2 as follows. Find the concept C3 which generalizes C1 and C2 with type T3 such that T3 is the most specific type which subsumes T1 and T2; the semantic distance between C1 and C2 is the sum of the distances from C1 to C3 and C2 to C3. It should be c...

A probability distribution p is Markovian wrt an AMP CG G iff the following three properties hold for all C ∈ Cc(G) (Andersson et al., 2001, Theorem 2): ● C1: C⊥pNdG(C) ∖CcG(PaG(C))∣CcG(PaG(C)). ● C2: p(C ∣CcG(PaG(C))) is Markovian wrt GC . ● C3∗: For all D ⊆ C, D⊥pCcG(PaG(C)) ∖ PaG(D)∣PaG(D). Lemma 1. C1, C2 and C3∗ hold iff the following two properties hold: ● C1∗: For all D ⊆ C, D⊥pNdG(D) ∖ ...

We cloned a cDNA encoding a novel mouse protein, named A-C1, by differential display between two mouse cell lines: embryonic fibroblast C3H10T1/2 and chondrogenic ATDC5. The deduced amino acid sequence of A-C1 consists of 167 amino acids and shows 46% identity with that of a ras-responsive gene, rat Ha-rev107. Northern blot analysis showed a distinct hybridization band of 3.2 kilobases. Express...
