Antigen-specific suppression to poly(Glu50-Tyr50) (GT) is under the control of two complementary immune suppressor (Is) genes located in the major histocompatibility (H-2) complex of the mouse. Suppressor strains of mice produce both suppressor T (Ts) cells and Ts-derived suppressor factors (TsF) that bear antigenic determinants of the I-J subregion of the H-2 complex. Nonsuppressor strains of ...

INTRODUCTION Adolescence is an important period in an individualâs life. Overweight and obesity are fraught with several health problems even later in life. The objective of this study was to estimate the overweight, obesity, body fat and muscle content of Saudi adolescents as compared to a recognized reference population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Data were collected from a sample of Saudi adoles...

BACKGROUND Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) is a modern circular external fixator that, using a virtual hinge, is able to correct six axis deformities simultaneously. Despite the growing popularity of this method, few reports exist about its use in children and adolescents. To evaluate the effectiveness of TSF in correcting multiplanar deformities in patients with open physis, we reviewed the results...

As an extension of several fuzzy structures such as sets, intuitionistic picture q-rung ortho-pair and T-spherical (TSF) sets (TSFSs), are effective tool for controlling the vagueness data. Archimedean t-conorm (ATCN) t-norm (ATN), which consists (TCN) (TN) families, is a crucial approach to produce extensive operational rules. In this manuscript, TSF numbers some core laws initiated based on A...

The time-dependent optical properties of microalgae are crucial for light transfer in photobioreactor (PBR) designs. Here, the were derived using electromagnetic scattering theory informed by experimentally measured Chlorella protothecoides. temporal scaling functions (TSFs) nearly wavelength-independent absorption and cross-sections demonstrated theory, leading to first concrete expression TSF...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the stiffness characteristics of Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) fixed with transverse wires and half pins. DESIGN & METHODS Experiments were carried out at the biomechanics laboratory at Cardiff University. All mechanical testing was performed with a servo hydraulic test frame (MTS 858 Mini Bionix II(R), MTS Corp., Mineapolis, USA). Custom built mou...

There is increasing interest in wireless ad hoc networks built from portable devices equipped with short-range wireless network interfaces. This thesis addresses issues related to internetworking such networks to form larger "scatternets." Within the constraints imposed by the emerging standard Bluetooth link layer and MAC protocol, we develop a set of online algorithms to form scatternets and ...

Various definitions and models have been proposed to evaluate mental work load, for example, task time analysis method and secondary task method based on single channel model. However, an evaluating method utilizing physiological information has been comparatively newly proposed. Therefore, this method has not been adequately examined with respect to its relation to be heretofore proposed metho...

The atlantoaxial complex is more easily destabilized in certain pathological conditions. Significant atlantoaxial instability is a potentially serious progressive condition that, if untreated, may result in local pain, myelopathy, or ultimately death. Surgical intervention is often indicated to realign and stabilize the segment, and to decompress the neural structures if necessary. Various type...
