Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) mutant CBA/N mice show delayed clearance of injected microfilaria (mf) compared with wild-type CBA/J mice. Anti-mf T cells from CBA/N mice make relatively more IFN-gamma than those from CBA/J mice. The anti-mf T cell proliferative responses are also greater in CBA/N mice. This CBA/N immune phenotype is not restricted to filarial Ags, because immunization with pure...

Please cite this article in press as: Atif, Y. Conve http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2012.07.026 Today’s college students have grown up with technology. These digital natives typically gravitate toward group activities in technology embedded social contexts. However, despite this multidimensional evolution, little has changed in conventional classrooms where they build their education experienc...

Background: There are several methods to detect AQP4-antibody which is essential for diagnosis neuromyelitis optica (NMO). Objective: To evaluate an accuracy of the commercially available kit compared with other available tests. Methods: One hundred and twelve patients who visited the multiple sclerosis (MS) clinic at Siriraj Hospital were tested for AQP4-antibody by cell-based assay with Senda...

Drawing on Bandura's triadic reciprocal causation model, perceived classroom environment and three intrapersonal factors (mathematics self-efficacy, maths interest and academic self-concept) were considered as predictors of test performance in two correlated mathematics assessments: a public examination (GCSE) and an on-line test, both taken by UK pupils at age 16 (n = 6689). Intrapersonal fact...

The aim of this study was to contribute to knowledge about classroom assessment by identifying profiles of teachers' assessment of their students' understanding of mathematics. For carrying out this study we used data of a nationwide teacher survey (N = 960) in the Netherlands. The data were collected by an online questionnaire. Through exploratory factor analyses the underlying structure of wh...

The paper focuses on the methodology for assessing Sustainable Mobility (SM) at the neighbourhood scale. For this purpose, two different ex-ante evaluation approaches are considered: Multicriteria Analysis (MCA) and Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA). If the MCA is an acknowledged technique for the assessment of sustainability at neighbourhood level, CBA is mainly used for infrastructure and large tra...

Cloud-Based Accounting (CBA) transforms the accounting system into a sophisticated platform in turbulent environment. Factors behind adoption of CBA are still scepticism. Therefore, study mainly aims to examine perceived determinants Sri Lanka. Human, technological, organisational, and environmental factors used as independent variables for identifying CBA. Data were collected from two hundred ...

The H-Y-specific cytotoxic T-cell response requires helper cells: cells from bone marrow chimeras B6 X CBA leads to B6, B6 X CBA leads to B10.A (5R), or B6 X CBA leads to CBA are each unable to respond to H-2k male cells. If, however, cells from B6 X CBA leads to B6 or B6 X CBA leads to B10.A (5R) chimeras are adoptively transferred together with cells from B6 X CBA leads to CBA chimeras, H-Y-s...

NZB mice and their F1 hybrids produce excessive polyclonal IgM and autoantibodies of both IgM and IgG classes. CBA/N mice and CBA/N-mothered F1 males fail to make antibody to many T-independent antigens and have low levels of serum IgM; further, these mice lack a population of splenic B cells characterized by a low-to-intermediate density of surface IgM. We have studied male CBA/N, NZB, CBA/N X...
