IMM/Scrub is a pilot tool developed to assist in the deduplication of vaccination history records in childhood immunization registries. This problem is complicated by a number of factors including that fact that: (1) some doses are numbered and some are not, (2) doses may have different dose numbers, (3) doses may specify different preparations within a vaccine series, (4) one dose may indicate...

Mitochondria maintain tight regulation of inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) permeability to sustain ATP production. Stressful events cause cellular calcium (Ca(2+)) dysregulation followed by rapid loss of IMM potential known as permeability transition (PT), which produces osmotic shifts, metabolic dysfunction, and cell death. The molecular identity of the mitochondrial PT pore (mPTP) was previ...

Mitochondria have evolutionarily, functionally and structurally distinct outer- (OMM) and inner-membranes (IMM). Thus, mitochondrial morphology is controlled by independent but coordinated activity of fission and fusion of the OMM and IMM. Constriction and division of the OMM are mediated by endocytosis-like machineries, which include dynamin-related protein 1 with additional cytosolic vesicle ...

Data association and model selection are important factors for tracking multiple targets in a dense clutter environment. We propose a sequential probabilistic multiple hypotheses tracking (PMHT) based algorithm using interacting multiple model (IMM), namely IMM-PMHT algorithm. Inclusion of IMM enables to track any arbitrary trajectory without any apriori information about the target dynamics. I...

Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) estimator can provide better performance of target tracking than mono model Kalman filter. In multi-sensor system ordinarily, availability of measurement from different sensors is stochastic, and it is difficult to construct uniform global observation vector and observation matrix appropriately in existing method. An IMM estimator for uncertain measurement is pr...

The immunity (imm) gene of the Escherichia coli bacteriophage T4 effects exclusion of phage superinfecting cells already infected with T4. A candidate for this gene was placed under the control of the lac regulatory elements in a pUC plasmid. DNA sequencing revealed the presence of an open reading frame encoding a very lipophilic 83-residue (or 73-residue, depending on the unknown site of trans...

Abstract The most widely used model for granular gases is perhaps the inelastic hard-sphere (IHSM), where grains are assumed to be perfectly smooth spheres colliding with a constant coefficient of normal restitution. A much more tractable Maxwell (IMM), in which velocity-dependent collision rate replaced by an effective mean-field constant. This simplification has been taken advantage many rese...

Disuse by bed rest, limb immobilization, or space flight causes rapid bone loss by arresting bone formation and accelerating bone resorption. Propranolol (a non-selective β-adrenergic antagonist) has been shown to improve bone properties by increasing bone formation and decreasing bone resorption in an ovariectomy-induced rat model. However, no studies have yet compared the osteoprotective prop...
