Suboptimal regulation of a class of bilinear interconnected systems with finite-time sliding planning horizons
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2008)
This paper focuses on the suboptimization of a class of multivariable discrete-time bilinear systems consisting of interconnected bilinear subsystems with respect to a linear quadratic optimal regulation criterion which ...
Antibody Complementarity-Determining Regions (CDRs) Can Display Differential Antimicrobial, Antiviral and Antitumor Activities
(Public Library of Science, 2008-06-11)
Background: Complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) are immunoglobulin (Ig) hypervariable domains that determine specific antibody (Ab) binding. We have shown that synthetic CDR-related peptides and many decapeptides ...
A comparative study of the field strength prediction methods in the MW band
(IET, 2008-10-23)
[EN] The recently developed digital radio systems for the MW band require accurate field
strength prediction algorithms for coverage estimation. This paper presents a
comparison of the estimation accuracy provided by the ...
Biodiversity of groundwater oligochaetes from a karst unit in northern Iberian Peninsula: ranking subterranean sites for conservation management
(Springer, 2008-03-05)
El presente estudio sugiere que la unidad kárstica de Santa Eufemia-Ereñozar en el norte de la Península Ibérica es un hotspot de biodiversidad para los oligoquetos de aguas subterráneas, debido a (1) la presencia de un ...
Maternal hypothyroxinemia impairs spatial learning and synaptic nature and function in the Offspring
(The Endocrine Society, 2008-10-01)
Neurological deficits in the offspring caused by human maternal hypothyroxinemia are thought to be irreversible. To understand the mechanism responsible for these neurological alterations, we induced maternal hypothyroxinemia ...
Neutrophils of Centenarians Show Function Levels Similar to Those of Young Adults
(Wiley, 2008)
OBJECTIVES: To analyze several functions and antioxidant parameters of peripheral blood neutrophils from healthy centenarians (men and women) and compare them with those of healthy young (aged 25–35) and middle-aged (aged ...
Lexical tone and stress in Goizueta Basque
(Cambridge University Press, 2008)
Research in the past few decades has shown that Northern Bizkaian Basque possesses a pitch-accent system of the Tokyo Japanese type, with a contrast between lexically accented and unaccented words. There is, however, a ...
Ceramide-enriched membrane domains in red blood cells and the mechanism of sphingomyelinase-induced hot-cold haemolysis
(American Chemical Society, 2008-10-28)
Hot-cold hemolysis is the phenomenon whereby red blood cells, preincubated at 37 °C in
the presence of certain agents, undergo rapid hemolysis when transferred to 4 °C. The mechanism of this
phenomenon is not understood. ...
Ontology Design Patterns for bio-ontologies: a case study on the Cell Cycle Ontology
(Springer Nature, 2008-04-29)
Bio-ontologies are key elements of knowledge management in bioinformatics. Rich and rigorous bio-ontologies should represent biological knowledge with high fidelity and robustness. The richness in bio-ontologies is a prior ...
In-situ migration of hand crafted ontologies to Reason-able Forms
(Elservier, 2008-02-29)
A methodology for in situ migration of a hand-crafted DAG (Directed Acyclic
Graph) to an explicitly described, structurally validated OWL version is presented.
The original DAG is a dynamic entity, being updated daily. ...
