Liposome entrapment and immunogenic studies of a synthetic lipophilic multiple antigenic peptide bearing VP1 and VP3 domains of the hepatitis A virus: A robust method for vaccine design (2003)
Journal Article

Multiple antigen peptides (MAP) have been demonstrated to be efficient immunological reagents for the induction of immune responses to a variety of infectious agents. Several peptide domains of the hepatitis A virus (HAV) capsid proteins, mainly VP1...

Flow cytometric measurement of phosphorylated STAT5 in AML: Lack of specific association with FLT3 internal tandem duplications (2003)
Journal Article

STAT5 phosphorylation has been noted in 69–95% of AML cases by Western blotting. We used flow cytometry to measure phosphorylated STAT5 on a semi-quantitative scale. The method was validated on K562 cells, which constitutively express phosphorylated...

Landau-Gutzwiller quasi-particles (2003)
Journal Article

We de?ne Landau quasiparticles within the Gutzwiller variational theory and derive their dispersion relation for general multiband Hubbard models in the limit of large spatial dimensions D. Thereby we reproduce our previous calculations which were ba... Read More about Landau-Gutzwiller quasi-particles.

Agouti-related protein has an inhibitory paracrine role in the rat adrenal gland (2003)
Journal Article

α-Melanocyte-stimulating-hormone (α-MSH) is an agonist at the melanocortin 3 receptor (MC3-R) and melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4-R). α-MSH stimulates corticosterone release from rat adrenal glomerulosa cells in vitro. Agouti-related protein (AgRP) an e... Read More about Agouti-related protein has an inhibitory paracrine role in the rat adrenal gland.

Vitamins Reverse Endothelial Dysfunction Through Regulation of eNOS and NAD(P)H Oxidase Activities (2003)
Journal Article

Antioxidant vitamins C and E have protective properties in genetic hypertension associated with enhanced oxidative stress. This study investigated whether vitamins C and/or E modulate vascular function by regulating enzymatic activities of endothel...

Predicting the metabolic energy costs of bipedalism using evolutionary robotics (2003)
Journal Article

To understand the evolution of bipedalism among the homnoids in an ecological context we need to be able to estimate theenerrgetic cost of locomotion in fossil forms. Ideally such an estimate would be based entirely on morphology since, except for t... Read More about Predicting the metabolic energy costs of bipedalism using evolutionary robotics.

Politics and language rights: a case study of language politics in Croatia (2003)
Book Chapter

This chapter discusses language and national aspirations through a case study of language politics in Croatia. Not only is language crucially influenced by national politics, but language politics has played a significant role in national politics in...

Substituting outline fonts for bitmap fonts in archived PDF files (2003)
Journal Article

As collections of archived digital documents continue to grow the maintenance of an archive, and the quality of reproduction from the archived format, become important long-term considerations. In particular, Adobe s PDF is now an important final for... Read More about Substituting outline fonts for bitmap fonts in archived PDF files.

Expertise and forms of knowledge in the government of families (2003)
Journal Article

This paper examines the relationship between the state and the individual in relation to an aspect of mundane family life – the feeding of babies and young children. The nutritional status of children has long been a matter of national concern and i... Read More about Expertise and forms of knowledge in the government of families.

Using SVG as the Rendering Model for Structured and Graphically Complex Web Material (2003)
Conference Proceeding

This paper reports some experiments in using SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), rather than the browser default of (X)HTML/CSS, as a potential Web-based rendering technology, in an attempt to create an approach that integrates the structural and display...

EBIC study of Au / n-type GaN Schottky contacts (2003)
Book Chapter

The performance of Au / n-type GaN Schottky contacts is strongly dependent on the GaN surface processing prior to contacting. Current-voltage and EBIC line scans demonstrate that KOH treatment acts to degrade the Schottky contacts. EBIC imaging rev... Read More about EBIC study of Au / n-type GaN Schottky contacts.

A Bayesian optimization algorithm for the nurse scheduling problem (2003)
Conference Proceeding

A Bayesian optimization algorithm for the nurse scheduling problem is presented, which involves choosing a suitable scheduling rule from a set for each nurse’s assignment. Unlike our previous work that used GAs to implement implicit learning, the lea... Read More about A Bayesian optimization algorithm for the nurse scheduling problem.

'Explicit Learning: an Effort towards Human Scheduling Algorithms' (2003)
Conference Proceeding

Abstract Scheduling problems are generally NP-hard combinatorial problems, and a lot of research has been done to solve these problems heuristically. However, most of the previous approaches are problem-specific and research into the development o... Read More about 'Explicit Learning: an Effort towards Human Scheduling Algorithms'.

Similarity Measures for Exam Timetabling Problems (2003)
Conference Proceeding

A large number of heuristic algorithms have been developed over the years which have been aimed at solving examination timetabling problems. However, many of these algorithms have been developed specifically to solve one particular problem instance o... Read More about Similarity Measures for Exam Timetabling Problems.

Paracrine effects of oocyte secreted factors and stem cell factor on porcine granulosa and theca cells in vitro (2003)
Journal Article

Oocyte control of granulosa and theca cell function may be mediated by several growth factors via a local feedback loop(s) between these cell types. This study examined both the role of oocyte-secreted factors on granulosa and thecal cells, cultured...
