B subunits of cholera toxin and thermolabile enterotoxin of Escherichia coli have similar adjuvant effect as whole molecules on rotavirus 2/6-VLP spe…

2015

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adjuvant effect of the B subunits of cholera toxin (CT) and the thermolabile enterotoxin of Escherichia coli (LT) by the intrarectal route of immunization and compare them to the whole molecules CT and LT-R192G, a non toxic mutant of LT, using 2/6-VLP as an antigen, in mice. All molecules induced similar antigen specific antibody titers in serum and feces, whereas different T cell profiles were observed. CTB and LTB, conversely to CT and LT-R192G, did not induce detectable production of IL-2 by antigen specific T cells. Moreover, CTB, conversely to LT-R192G, CT and LTB, did not induce antigen specific CD4+CD25+Foxp3- and Foxp3+ T cells, thus sho…

A new method for forecasting energy output of a large-scale solar power plant based on long short-term memory networks a case study in Vietnam

2021

Abstract This paper proposes a new model for short-term forecasting power generation capacity of large-scale solar power plant (SPP) in Vietnam considering the fluctuations of weather factors when applying the Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTM) algorithm. At first, a configuration of the model based on the LSTM algorithm is selected in accordance with the weather and operating conditions of SPP in Vietnam. Not only different structures of LSTM model but also other conventional forecasting methods for time series data are compared in terms of error accuracy of forecast on test data set to evaluate the effectiveness and select the most suitable LSTM configuration. The most suitable config…

Serial In-network Processing for Large Stationary Wireless Sensor Networks

2017

International audience; In wireless sensor networks, a serial processing algorithm browses nodes one by one and can perform different tasks such as: creating a schedule among nodes, querying or gathering data from nodes, supplying nodes with data, etc. Apart from the fact thatserial algorithms totally avoid collisions, numerous recent works have confirmed that these algorithms reduce communications andconsiderably save energy and time in large-dense networks. Yet, due to the path construction complexity, the proposed algorithmsare not optimal and their performances can be further enhanced. To do so, in the present paper, we propose a new serial processing algorithm that, in most of the case…

A Parallel Implementation of the Tree-Structured Self-Organizing Map

2002

This paper presents how Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs)can be trained efficiently using several, simultaneously executing threads on a shared memory Symmetric MultiProcessing (SMP)computer. The training method is a batch version of the Tree-Structured Self-Organizing Map. We note that SMP type of parallel training is very useful for large data sets obtained from nature, the process industry or large document collections, since we do not encounter similar model size limitations as with hardware SOM implementations.

IL potere degli antenati : il “dispositivo soterico ”nella lex sacra di Selinunte

2013

La colonna "B" della Lex Sacra di Selinunte prescrive una procedura catartica connessa verosimilmente a casi di spargimento di sangue, soprattutto in ambito familiare. Essa ci mostra come a unire i diversi elementi cardine della procedura stessa sia il filo di uno scambio e un riconoscimento reciproco tra diversi livelli di socialità, che ha come unica inviolabile regola che l’applicazione delle prassi cultuali non contrasti con l’interesse generale della polis. Due elementi chiave emergono: a) in primo luogo, la coerenza cronologica delle testimonianze rafforza la pertinenza di queste correlazioni; b) soprattutto emerge con chiarezza, almeno a mio avviso, la relazione con la sfera dell’anc…

Venerari Contendere Adicere: Roman Emulation, Intergenerational Reciprocity, and the Ancient Idea of Progress

2019

Over the past few decades, the successful emergence of intertextuality, with its careful investigation of the dynamics of imitation, allusion, and emulation, has effectively challenged the Romantic notions of creativity and individual authorship. In the wide-open field left by the postmodern ‘death of the author’, however, the territory of culture as a network of patterns hiding behind the text has often been restricted within the boundaries of literary culture. In this paper, I will attempt to enlarge such a text-centred perspective by highlighting the often neglected connections between family education, intergenerational reciprocity, and aesthetic thought in Roman culture. Indeed, long b…

Sensory preconditioning in newborn rabbits: from common to distinct odor memories.

2013

Brief Communication; International audience; This study evaluated whether olfactory preconditioning is functional in newborn rabbits and based on joined or independent memory of odorants. First, after exposure to odorants A+B, the conditioning of A led to high responsiveness to odorant B. Second, responsiveness to B persisted after amnesia of A. Third, preconditioning was also functional with two overlapping pairs of odorants (A+B and B+C) and amnesia of one odorant did not affect memory of the others. Thus, incidental pairing of odorants allows reinforcement of one odorant to implicitly reinforce the others, the bond then vanishes, and the memory of each element becomes independent.

Lightweight algorithms for constructing and inverting the BWT of string collections

2013

Recent progress in the field of \{DNA\} sequencing motivates us to consider the problem of computing the Burrows‚ÄìWheeler transform (BWT) of a collection of strings. A human genome sequencing experiment might yield a billion or more sequences, each 100 characters in length. Such a dataset can now be generated in just a few days on a single sequencing machine. Many algorithms and data structures for compression and indexing of text have the \{BWT\} at their heart, and it would be of great interest to explore their applications to sequence collections such as these. However, computing the \{BWT\} for 100 billion characters or more of data remains a computational challenge. In this work we ad…

Interference of left and right cerebellar rTMS with procedural learning.

2004

Abstract Increasing evidence suggests cerebellar involvement in procedural learning. To further analyze its role and to assess whether it has a lateralized influence, in the present study we used a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation interference approach in a group of normal subjects performing a serial reaction time task. We studied 36 normal volunteers: 13 subjects underwent repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the left cerebellum and performed the task with the right (6 subjects) or left (7 subjects) hand; 10 subjects underwent repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the right cerebellum and performed the task with the hand ipsilateral (5 subjects) or contral…
