Mouse spleens contain three populations of conventional (CD11c(high)) dendritic cells (DCs) that play distinct functions. The CD8(+) DC are unique in that they can present exogenous antigens on their MHC class I molecules, a process known as cross-presentation. It is unclear whether this special ability is because only the CD8(+) DC can capture the antigens used in cross-presentation assays, or...

This paper describes the MATLAB/Simulink realization of the DC motor speed control methods, namely field resistance, armature voltage and armature resistance control methods, and feedback control system for DC motor drives. These simulation models are developed as a part of a software laboratory to support and enhance undergraduate electric machinery courses at Nigde University, Nigde, Turkey. ...

Background We have recently observed that treatment of colon tumor cells with low concentration of paclitaxel increased the expression of several genes associated with antigen-presenting machinery. Since 5-fluoruracil (5-FU) is the main antineoplastic agent for colon cancer, in this study we aimed to evaluate: a) whether transfection of dendritic cells (DC) with drug-treated tumor cells RNA, en...

With the wide application of electric vehicles and development battery technology, pure construction machinery (PECM) has received more attention due to its high efficiency no pollution. The working conditions are complex accompanied by periodical heavy load. For machinery, a load represents an energy supply with large current. To adapt PECM, this paper proposes robust controller regulate curre...

Dendritic cells (DC) initiate immunity and maintain tolerance. Although in vitro-generated DC, usually derived from peripheral blood monocytes (MO-DC), serve as prototype DC to analyze the biology and biochemistry of DC, phenotypically distinct primary types of DC, including CD1c-DC, are present in peripheral blood (PB-DC). The composition of lysosomal proteases in PB-DC and the way their MHC c...

Although brush type DC machinery has lost market share over the years to its brushless counterparts, it still maintains a significant presence in the automotive, aerospace, power tool, and home appliance industries. Especially in automotive and aerospace power system applications, early detection of brush type DC machine faults will help to avoid problematic system failures, decrease maintenanc...

I propose to consider the question, “Can machines think?” This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms “machine” and “think.” The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous, If the meaning of the words“machine”and “think” are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to e...
