Dendritic cells (DC) are potent antigen presenting cells capable of inducing immune responses. DC are widely used as vaccine adjuvant in experimental clinical settings. DC-based vaccines are normally generated using a standard 8day DC protocol (SDDC). In attempts to shorten the vaccine production we have developed fast DC protocol by comparing two different fast DC protocols with SDDC. DC were ...

In this paper, a reformative scatter difference discriminant criterion (SDDC) with fuzzy set theory is studied. The scatter difference between between-class and within-class as discriminant criterion is effective to overcome the singularity problem of the within-class scatter matrix due to small sample size problem occurred in classical Fisher discriminant analysis. However, the conventional SD...

For conventional CP-assisted (Cyclic Prefix) block transmission systems, the CP length is selected on the basis of the expected maximum delay spread. With regard to SC-based (Single Carrier) block transmission implementations, a full-length CP is recommendable, since it allows good performances through the use of simple FDE (Frequency-Domain Equalization) techniques. Recently, an algorithm for ...

Research work provides efficient security which protects network resources from internal and external threats. Network virtualization is used to provide users with well-organized, controlled, and safe sharing of the networking resources. It also ensures privacy of data and integrity in Software-defined data center (SDDC) whose infrastructures is virtualized and distributed as a service. SDDC he...

Two types of Gemini surfactants containing a disulfide bond in the spacer, sodium dilauroyl cystine (SDLC) and sodium didecamino cystine (SDDC), were synthesized, and their surface properties and aggregation behavior in aqueous solution were studied by means of surface tension measurements, dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and fluorescence. During the tran...

Ce0.82Dy0.155Sr0.025O2-? (SDDC) powder was synthesized by a sucrose-pectin modified sol-gel process. The pressed and sintered at different temperatures, 1200, 1250 1300?C, to prepare dense ceramics with relative density of 91, 93 95%TD, respectively. Crystal structure phase composition were analysed XRD using Rietveld refinement. sample compositional analysis element mapping carried out energy-...

Batesian mimics that show similar coloration to unpalatable models gain a fitness advantage of reduced predation. Beyond physical similarity, mimics often exhibit behaviour similar to their models, further enhancing their protection against predation by mimicking not only the model's physical appearance but also activity. In butterflies, there is a strong correlation between palatability and fl...
