The introduction of antigen into the anterior chamber (AC) of the eye induces the production of antigen-specific splenic CD8(+) regulatory T cells (AC-SPL cells) that suppress a delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction in immunized mice. Because the generation of these regulatory T cells is also induced by exposure to transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta and antigen or F4/80(+) cells expos...

The increasing complexity and cost of software-intensive systems has led developers to seek ways of reusing software components across development projects. One approach to increasing software reusability is to develop a Software Product-line (SPL), which is a software architecture that can be reconfigured and reused across projects. Rather than developing software from scratch for a new projec...

Software Products Lines (SPL) and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) are two approaches for software development used in industrial practice favouring reuse of existing assets and capabilities, rather than redevelop new systems. The main goal of this work is to exploit benefits from both approaches and integrate them into a unique architectural design process WSRA-SPL (Web-Services Reference A...

BACKGROUND There is a need to determine parameters for the analyses of the distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) of infants so that it can be used as a clinical criterion in auditory assessment. AIM To describe the DPOAE records of infants from birth to two months, considering the response level, noise level and the signal to noise ratio in all frequencies; the analysis of response...

BACKGROUND Hearing thresholds of fishes are typically acquired under laboratory conditions. This does not reflect the situation in natural habitats, where ambient noise may mask their hearing sensitivities. In the current study we investigate hearing in terms of sound pressure (SPL) and particle acceleration levels (PAL) of two cichlid species within the naturally occurring range of noise level...

A total of 60 Russ 2011 two weeks old broiler chicks with an average weight of 215.33+4.55g were fed with diets compounded with sweet potato leaves (SPL) for 56 days. The diets consist of T1 (0% SPL), T2 (5% SPL), T3 (10% SPL) and T4 (15% SPL). The proximate composition of the SPL was determined in the laboratory. The birds were randomly allocated to four treatments using completely randomized ...

The study of the SPL (Superconducting Proton Linac), a 4 MW / 2.2 GeV H linac, began at CERN in 1999. Based on the large inventory of RF equipment decommissioned from the LEP (Large Electron Positron collider), it was originally proposed as an upgrade to the injector complex for the high energy accelerators. Since that time, the proposal has attracted the interest of an increasing number of phy...

Software-Produktlinien (SPLs) können durch systematische Wiederverwendung und mittels der Industrialisierung der Softwareentwicklung Wettbewerbsvorteile schaffen. Da die Ausrichtung eines Unternehmens von der Einzelsystementwicklung hin zur Fertigung von Software in SPL eine strategische Entscheidung ist, müssen beim Bestimmen des Umfangs einer SPL neben technischen auch ökonomische Aspekte ber...
