Development of T helper cell (Th)1 or Th2 cytokine responses is essential for effector and regulatory functions of T helper cells. We have compared cytokine profiles of myelin basic protein (MBP) Ac1-16 peptide-specific T helper cells from inbred mouse strains expressing identical k haplotype-derived MHC class II molecules B10.A and B10.BR, B10.BR T cell lines (TCL) produced Th1 cytokines (incl...

BACKGROUND To describe the benefits and optimum use of prophylactic antibiotics in users of therapeutic contact lenses (TCL). METHODS A microbiological study was carried out on samples from 33 patients who continuously wore TCL. The resistance to antibiotics of bacteria isolated in our health region was also reviewed. An assessment was also made on whether there were microorganisms of a highe...

The creation of physical-world interfaces seamlessly integrated with the physical environment poses new implementation and interface challenges for the Tcl language. 3wish is a suite of [incr Tcl] class libraries and C/C++ extensions which supports user interfaces integrating distributed physical sensors, displays, and 3D graphics. The poster presents an overview of 3wish, its application to ph...

Proxy Tk allows a Tcl program to provide a highly interactive web-browser user interface, without requiring the end user to download additional software. It uses a thin client design, where a server-side Tcl application communicates with a very small generic Java applet running in the browser, sending it commands to create and modify widgets, and receiving events from the user. A Tk-like layer ...

This paper describes TeamRooms, a Tcl-based real time groupware application that provides “network places” for users to collaborate. TeamRooms is significantly more complex than previous groupware applications, providing not only generic tools such as shared whiteboards, but also custom groupware applets running within an OpenDoc-style embedded window. As well as describing TeamRooms itself, th...

BACKGROUND Diagnosing atypical atrioventricular node-dependent long RP supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) can be challenging. METHODS AND RESULTS Nineteen patients with 20 SVTs (atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia without [n=11]/with [n=3] a bystander nodofascicular [NF] accessory pathway, orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia [ORT] using a decremental atrioventricular [pe...

Writing and maintaining a Tcl C extension for several years is an experience which can be compared to a long lasting relationship between a man and a woman. At the beginning, there is great excitement and you enjoy a real good time. However, once the relationship settles, you will find out that being married is sometimes straining and you start to look at things from a slightly different perspe...

At Healtheon, we used Tcl to rapidly develop a scalable, high performance rule engine for processing dynamic application logic. The nature of our application requirements, plus the challenge of delivering robust software in a timely manner made Tcl an optimal overall choice in our deployment. We were able to improve rule processing performance by careful language construction and support for co...

We present TclBLASR, a framework to integrate a proprietary speech recognition engine, an open source script language, such as Tcl/Tk and an open source sound analysis toolkit, such as Snack from KTH, into a user friendly platform that a user can write a Tcl/Tk script application quickly for speech recognition evaluation, speech data collection and automatic annotation, and speech technology de...
