in many computer vision applications and also in modeling biological vision, since recent neurophysiological evidence from the visual cortex of mammalian brains suggests that the filter response profiles of the main class of linearly-responding cortical neurons (called simple cells) are best modeled as a

In the present report we use the bioresponse model derived from a broad range of animal and human exposure data for evaluation of troop readiness in tactical nuclear warfare to evaluate the biological risk posed

Abstract: This study was performed to evaluate the basic biological response to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-based coatings for soft tissue implants. To that end, in vitro experiments were used to study their cytocompatibility, and in vivo subcutaneous implantation studies with transponders in a rat

Biological therapy is currently being investigated in the treatment of a number of malignancies. The hypothesis for the use of this therapeutic modality involves an attempt to stimulate an already existent but perhaps suboptimal immune response to foreign protein, including tumor. Immunologic

of that is the development of some biological agents interfering with the activity of several important cytokines. Infliximab, etanarcept, and adalimumab are TNF blockers, anakinra is IL-1 receptor antagonist, and rituximab is anti CD-20 monoclonal antibody. These newer agents proved to be useful for alleviating symptoms

The interface phenomena occurring between host tissue and the surface of biomedical implant play an im-portant role in implant survival. In addition to possessing appropriate mechanical properties, an ideal or-thopedic implant material should in-duce the desired cellular responses, leading

During detection and response to a Chem-Bio incident, heterogeneous groups, who may not ordinarily interact, must form a team. A Sensible Agent is a type of software agent (a Distributed Artificial Intelligence component that uses sensing, reasoning, and acting capabilities to achieve a set
