In order to examine the diversity of antibody light chains, we have developed an analytic isoelectric focusing procedure which permits the routine analysis of L chains from antibodies raised in individual mice. We have used this technique to demonstrate that the light chains of IgM and IgG anti-group A streptococcal antibodies raised in SWR mice are probably shared. Interestingly, numerous ligh...

Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) is a late complication following chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Approximately 10% of AML cases are therapy related and the incidence is rising. Alkylator-associated t-AML has a latency of 5–7 years, is often preceded by a myelodysplastic phase (t-MDS) and is frequently associated with loss of material from chromosomes 5 and/or 7 in humans. ...

Also, the power-handling capacity of a transmission line is maximum when it is "flat", i.e., operating at low SWR. Lastly, it is important to be able to interconnect a number of different components into a system, and the only way that can be done reliably and predictably is by constraining the reflection coefficients of the various interfaces through impedance matching. Multiple reflections ca...

A novel S-band monopulse antenna with four conical helix antennas on a microstrip substrate comparator is designed, fabricated and measured. Conical helix antenna height is 3λ, and comparator size is 130mm × 150mm. The bandwidth (SWR < 2 dB) of the antenna is 21.3% with an operating frequency range of 2.7GHz–3.35 GHz. The maximum gain of the sum pattern is 17.4 dB, and the null depths of the di...

A Schwarz Waveform Relaxation (SWR) algorithm is proposed to solve by Domain Decomposition Method (DDM) linear and nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The symbols of the transparent fractional transmission operators involved in Optimized Schwarz Waveform Relaxation (OSWR) algorithms are approximated by low order Lagrange polynomials to derive Lagrange-Schwarz Waveform Relaxation (LSWR) algorithms ...

We need measurements of soil water retention (SWR) and available capacity (AWC) to assess model functions, but methods are time-consuming expensive. Our aim here was investigate the modelling AWC SWR with visible–near-infrared spectra (vis–NIR) machine-learning method cubist. used soils from 54 locations across Australian agricultural regions, three depths: 0–15 cm, 15–30 cm 30–60 cm. The volum...
