Present concepts of the maturation of a B-lymphocytic clone involve progressive changes in cellular morphology and mode of immunoglobulin (Ig) production. The ancestral small lymphocyte synthesizes Ig for insertion into its plasma membrane, while those of its descendants destined to produce humoral antibody show first a superimposed synthesis of Ig for export and finally a heavy export with lit...

New memory technologies impact various fields of computer science but it is hard to evaluate, as specialists of one scientific domain, what are these fields and how important is this impact. In this talk, I will present this problematics and I'll introduce the various themes that we will talk about during the workshop. Also, I'll give some examples of existing works that let me think that emerg...

Data transmission over bandlimited channels requires pulse shaping to eliminate or control intersymbol interference (ISI). Nyquist filters provide ISI-free transmission. Here we introduce a phase compensation technique to design Nyquist filters. Phase compensation can be applied to the square-root of any zero-phase bandlimited Nyquist filter with normalized excess bandwidth less than or equal t...

Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is a common problem in neurosurgical and neurological practice. It can arise as a consequence of intracranial mass lesions, disorders of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation, and more diffuse intracranial pathological processes. Its development may be acute or chronic. There are well established methods for the measurement, continuous monitoring, and treatmen...

abstract meningeal melanocytoma is a rare tumor of nervous system, which originates from leptomeningeal melanocytes. the locations of melanocytoma in the nervous system are most frequently in the posterior fossa or along the spinal cord, and usually appear as an extra-axial mass. the manifestations of tumor are most often due to its compressing effect on adjacent nervous structures that causes ...
