The purpose of the study was to investigate the immunological and biological consequences of neoantigen expression by immunogenic tumor variants (linin* ) following in vitro treatment with the mutagen I-moth) I3-nitro-l-nitrosoguanidine. The weakly immunogenic murine fibrosar coma MCA-F was used because we have previously characterized the tumor-specific transplantation antigen expressed by thi...

The basis of specificity between pore-forming colicins and immunity proteins was explored by interchanging residues between colicins E1 (ColE1) and 10 (Col10) and testing for altered recognition by their respective immunity proteins, Imm and Cti. A total of 34 divergent residues in the pore-forming domain of ColE1 between residues 419 and 501, a region previously shown to contain the specificit...

In this paper we present a feature tracking system with automatic motion determination of features in an image sequence. The positions of features (corners) extracted in the first frame of a sequence are estimated and predicted in the subsequent frames by using an extension of Bayesian multiple hypothesis technique (MHT [2]) based on different motion models. The tracking of features is based on...

Abstract The UAVs have become a huge threat in the battlefield. excellent maneuverability makes them competent for actual combat operations such as investigation and strike. Therefore, accurate tracking of is critical. Centralized radar/IR fusion system has been widely concerned to track because complementary characteristics between these two sensors. appearance non-Gaussian measurement noise p...

the size of the thymus was profoundly influenced by emotional events and by neurodocrine aberrations. Hans Selye discovered (1936) that when the hypothalamuspituitary-adrenal axis is activated, it leads to the rapid involution of the thymus. Following that, Andor Szentivanyi and colleagues showed (1949) the regulatory power of the nervous system over immune reactions. Cytokines, especially inte...

Since the early days of immunology, it has been considered that high viru-lence and recency of isolation from pathological material were essential attributes of strains of bacteria to be used in production of superior immunizing agents. In spite of a surprising paucity of supporting factual information this concept has pesisted. Perhaps in no field of investigative immunology has the theory of ...

In this paper, an adaptive multiuser detector based on interacting multiple model (IMM) is introduced to estimate the transmitted sequence corrupted by MAI (multiple access interference), multipath fading and noise. The proposed algorithm presents a novel multipath combining scheme based on a multiple model concepts and used in frequency selective Raleigh fading channels. The performance of the...

To ensure reliable operation of electrical systems, batteries require robust battery monitoring systems (BMSs). A BMS’s main task is to accurately estimate a battery’s available power, referred as the state charge (SOC). Unfortunately, SOC cannot be measured directly due its structure, and so must estimated using indirect measurements. In addition, methods used are highly dependent on capacity,...

Target tracking is very important field of research as it has wider applications in defense as well as civilian applications. Kalman filter is generally used for such applications. When the process and measurements are non linear extensions of Kalman filters like Extended Kalman Filter, Unscented Kalman Filters are widely used. UKF can give estimations up to second order characteristics of rand...

Mitochondrial division is critical for the maintenance and regulation of mitochondrial function, quality and distribution. This process is controlled by cytosolic actin-based constriction machinery and dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) on mitochondrial outer membrane (OMM). Although mitochondrial physiology, including oxidative phosphorylation, is also important for efficient mitochondrial divis...
