The impact of prophylactic vaccination against acute and chronic infection in a Th-deficient host has not been adequately addressed because of difficulties in generating protective immunity in the absence of CD4(+) T cell help. In this study, we demonstrated that a broad CD8(+) T cell immune response could be elicited in MHC class II-deficient mice by vaccination with adenovirus encoding lympho...

Laminar population analysis (LPA) is a method for analysis of electrical data recorded by linear multielectrodes passing through all lamina of cortex. Like principal components analysis (PCA) and independent components analysis (ICA), LPA offers a way to decompose the data into contributions from separate cortical populations. However, instead of using purely mathematical assumptions in the dec...

in this work we develop a new optimal without memory class for approximating a simple root of a nonlinear equation. this class includes three parameters. therefore, we try to derive some with memory methods so that the convergence order increases as high as possible. some numerical examples are also ‎presented.‎‎

There are several methods for approximating the multiple zeros of a nonlinear function when the multiplicity is known. The methods are classified by the order, informational efficiency and efficiency index. Here we consider other criteria, namely the basin of attraction of the method and its dependence on the order. We discuss all known methods of orders two to four and present the basin of att...
