But, if Silvia had descended from the ramp of that plane dressed in the blue tank top we were used to seeing her in, this criticism toward the government, which immediately morphed into criticism of the victim of the crime and her family, “let THEM pay the ransom!” may never have bee...
According to the agreements signed by Turkey, Russia and Iran last September in Sochi, Ankara would have the task of curbing the terrorist militias of the north-west of Syria, supporting the military actions of the NLF, but the resounding advance of HTS at al-Atareb, just like at Darat Iz...
In PV programs, only lock and unlock actions are considered. The Swiss flag program is: where and are 1-semaphores. In this program threads and run concurrently, for example they might be executed on two processors—one for each thread. PV Diagrams. PV programs have a geometric representation...
Selective toxicity antibacteribiotics is considered to be due to interactions with targets either being unique to bacteria or being characterized by a dichotomy between pro- and eukaryotic pathways with high affinities of agents to bacterial- rather than eukaryotic targets. However, the theory of sele...
Let f ⇤ be the optimal value and consider the dual function q( ) = min x ⇢ 1 2 kxk2 + 0(Ax b) . Let V ⇤ be the supremum over all distances of the origin from planes that contain the line {x | Ax = b}. Clearly, we have V ⇤ f ⇤, since the distance ...
1. For response surface designs, experimenters frequently assume that a second-order model will adequately describe the underlying relationship between the response and experimental factors, and th...
For these reasons, the description of the ion exchange phenomena has been limited only to liquid phases of admixture sources. The assumption of the binarity of the ion exchange process' character made in its description is rather a simplification. This postulate is commonly found in the literature...
Before starting an exercise test, a baseline echocardiogram is performed in the left lateral decubitus position for an initial assessment, with 2D and M-mode image acquisition in at least four planes, i.e., parasternal long axis, parasternal short axis, apical four-chamber, and apical two-...
5. Controlled converters connected to weak grids Many control topologies applied to DG are available in the literature, in static and synchronous reference frame (d–q axis). The proportional–integral (PI) controllers can be utilized in static reference frame, but the zero steady-state error is...
Thereby, APC not only activates naïve Th cells but also tailors their properties according to the pathogens to be defeated. The first Th cell subsets that have been described were Th1 cells, characterized by expression interferon (IFN)-γ, and Th2 cells, producing interleukin (IL)-4, IL-...
