The immune system is remarkable in its ability to produce antibodies (Abs) with virtually any specificity from a limited repertoire of germ line precursors. Although the contribution of sequence diversity to this molecular recognition has been studied for decades, recent models suggest that protein dynamics may also broaden the range of targets recognized. To characterize the contribution of pr...

ion, and substitution is simple: fun replace_term (u,new) t = if t=u then new else case t of Fun(a,ts) => Fun(a, map (replace_term(u,new)) ts) | _ => t; fun abstract t = let fun abs i (Pred(a,ts)) = Pred(a, map (replace_term (t, Bound i)) ts) | abs i (Conn(b,As)) = Conn(b, map (abs i) As) | abs i (Quant(q,b,A)) = Quant(q, b, abs (i+1) A) in abs 0 end; fun subst_bound t = let fun subst i (Pred(a...

Three-dimensional (3D) printing was applied for the fabrication of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) framework. Functionalization of the ABS framework was then performed by coating of porous Cu-BTC (BTC = benzene tricarboxylic acid) metal-organic frameworks on it using a step-by-step in-situ growth. The size of the Cu-BTC particles on ABS was ranged from 200 nm to 900 nm. The Cu-BTC/ABS fra...

In Attribute-Based Signatures (ABS; first defined by Maji, Prabhakaran and Rosulek, CTRSA 2011) an authority can generate multiple signing keys, where each key is associated with a constraint f . A key respective to f can sign a message x only if f(x) = 0. The security requirements are unforgeability and key privacy (signatures should not expose the specific signing key used). In Homomorphic Si...

In addition to cognitive impairment, behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are another important aspect of most dementia patients. This study was designed for a new simple assessment of BPSD. We first employed a clinical survey for the local community with sending an inquiry letter to all members (n=129) of dementia caregiver society, and then attempted to create a new BPSD s...

This study is about the comparison of simulation techniques between Discrete Event Simulation (DES) and Agent Based Simulation (ABS). DES is one of the best-known types of simulation techniques in Operational Research. Recently, there has been an emergence of another technique, namely ABS. One of the qualities of ABS is that it helps to gain a better understanding of complex systems that involv...

Extractive fermentation using aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) is a promising separation process since it provides a nondenaturing environment for biomolecules and improves the stability of cells. Due to environmental concerns and toxicity issues related with common volatile organic solvents, ionic liquids (ILs), a new class of nonvolatile alternative solvents, are being currently investigated fo...
