This report investigates the response of CD8(+) T cells to antigens presented by B cells. When C57BL/6 mice were injected with syngeneic B cells coated with the Kb-restricted ovalbumin (OVA) determinant OVA257-264, OVA-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) tolerance was observed. To investigate the mechanism of tolerance induction, in vitro-activated CD8(+) T cells from the Kb-restricted, OVA-s...

Objectives. To examine associated clinical features and evaluate published criteria regarding volumetric diagnosis of ovarian torsion (OT). Methods. Retrospective case-control study of patients presenting to an emergency department who underwent pelvic imaging for acute abdominal or pelvic pain. Cases were found to have OT at surgery. Controls received clinical diagnosis of either acute pelvic ...

The morphological and syntactic facts from Georgian create a unique puzzle for the study of sentence processing. The word order is characterized by considerable freedom and case marking is not uni-directionally associated with θroles. This article presents a grammatical account of Georgian case marking and a study on incremental sentences processing. The empirical findings show that case is ind...

Operation Theatre (OT) is the most important area where precise controlled on indoor air quality is required because it is directly related to patient health and its recovery period. This work aims to study and visualize the airflow distribution of conventional flat air diffuser ventilation system and newly designed angular air ventilation system in OT. Angular Air Distribution (AAD) system is ...

Previous studies have suggested that oxytocin (OT) may be anxiolytic in female laboratory rats and mice. The elevated plus-maze was used to compare anxiety-related behaviors of OT-deficient (OT-/-) and wild-type (OT+/+) mice. Female OT-/- mice displayed increased anxiety-related behavior compared with OT+/+ mice. The percentage of entries (P < 0.0002) and time spent (P < 0.003) in the open arms...

We present a simple flow level model that helps in understanding the effects of various DiffServ traffic conditioning methods on bandwidth sharing among elastic TCP flows. We concentrate on a single backbone link and consider a static case, where the number of TCP flows is fixed. In a Relative Service approach, the bandwidth share θ of a flow should be proportional to a weight φ assigned to the...

Abstract Active scent marking with urine has been described in a number of mammal species, including felids. In Eurasian lynx ( Lynx ), plays role intra-sexual competition and territory defence as well attracting sexual partners during the mating season. Marking is most frequent season least period when females give birth lactate. Males generally mark more frequently than resident animals dispe...
