Here we examine the detectability of collisionless dark matter candidates that may constitute not all but only a subdominant component of galactic cold dark matter. We show that current axion searches are not suited for a subdominant component, while direct WIMP searches would not be severely affected by the reduced density. In fact, the direct detection rates of neutralinos stay almost constan...

Research related to biodiversity that was carried out regularly could be part of monitoring activities see changes in butterfly populations an area. Butterflies have a role as environmental bioindicators were commonly found various places. Urban forests such the Cibubur Arboretum and University Indonesia mini conservation sites habitats for butterflies. The purpose this study monitor abundance ...

The conventional means of studying Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) memory, by in vitro stimulation with the latently infected autologous lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL), has important limitations. First, it gives no information on memory to lytic cycle antigens; second, it preferentially amplifies the dominant components of latent antigen-specific memory at the expe...

Leslie matrix models are discrete models for the development of age-structured populations. It is known that eigenvalues of a Leslie matrix are important in describing the asymptotic behavior of the corresponding population model. It is also known that the ratio of the spectral radius and the second largest (subdominant) eigenvalue in modulus of a non-periodic Leslie matrix determines the rate ...

Generating broad cellular immune responses against a diversity of viral epitopes is a major goal of current vaccine strategies for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and other pathogens. Virus-specific CD8(+) T-lymphocyte responses, however, are often highly focused on a very limited number of immunodominant epitopes. For an HIV-1 vaccine, the breadth of CD8(+) T-lymphocyte responses m...

The present study investigates the effect of a change in syntactic-like musical function on event-related brain potentials (ERPs). Eight-chord piano sequences were presented to musically expert and novice listeners. Instructed to watch a movie and to ignore the musical sequences, the participants had to react when a chord was played with a different instrument than the piano. Participants were ...

Diffusion-limited aggregation is consistent with simple scaling. However, strong subdominant terms are present, and these can account for various earlier claims of anomalous scaling. We show this in detail for the case of multiscaling.

Previous studies indicated that the Plasmodium yoelii circumsporozoite protein (PyCSP) 57-70 region elicits T cells capable of eliminating infected hepatocytes in vitro. Herein, we report that the PyCSP58-67 sequence contains an H-2(d) binding motif, which binds purified K(d) molecules in vitro with low affinity (3, 267 nM) and encodes an H-2(d)-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitope. ...

In this paper we take the three tonal functions tonic, subdominant, dominant out of their usual theoretical domicile – the combinatorics of fifth-related triads enriched by a dialectical interpretation – and redeploy them within an alternative theoretical framework: the combinatorics of the modes of the musical tetractys, enriched by musicaltheoretical interpretations of selected mathematical f...
