  1. 41. Artificial Grammar Recognition Using Spiking Neural Networks

    University essay from Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Philip Cavaco; [2009]
    Keywords : Artificial grammar recognition; spiking neural networks; minicolumn model; NEST; Reber grammar;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the feasibility of Artificial Grammar (AG) recognition using spiking neural networks. A biologically inspired minicolumn model is designed as the base computational unit. Two network topographies are defined with different ideologies. READ MORE

  3. 42. Thrombin receptor signalling in platelets: PAR1, but not PAR4, is rapidly desensitized

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Linda Haglund; [2009]
    Keywords : Nitric oxide; PAR1; PAR4; platelets; receptor desensitization;

    Abstract : Platelets play a key role in primary haemostasis but are also related to the pathogenesis of arterial thrombosis. Thrombin is the most effective agonist inducing platelet activation. Human platelets express two G-protein coupled thrombin receptors (GPCRs), called protease activated receptor (PAR)1 and PAR4. READ MORE

  4. 43. Immunostimulatory DNA : studies on the importance of secondary structure formation and CpG-motifs for IFN-alpha induction/inhibition using ODNs related to the genome of porcine circovirus type 2

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biosciences

    Author : Josefine Elving; [2006]
    Keywords : interferon; porcine circovirus; PCV-2; CpG; secondary structure; inhibitory; PCR; ODN;

    Abstract : Nucleotide sequences containing CpG-motifs are recognized as immunomodulators in pigs among other species. Phosphodiester oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs), such as ODN H, have been demonstrated to be potent inducers of interferon-alpha (INF-alpha) in porcine blood mononuclear cells (poPBMC) provided they are pre-treated with Lipofectin®.

  5. 44. Potential aquatic bacterial pathogens in thePhilippines and Thailand : studies on the occurrence, characterisation, detection ofpotential virulence determinants and antimicrobialsusceptibility profile

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Ramon Maluping; [2004]
    Keywords : Aeromonas spp.; Vibrio spp.; P. shigelloides; Philippines; Thailand; virulence determinants; antimicrobial susceptibility;

    Abstract : Strains of Aeromonas spp., `non–cholera vibrios´(NCVs) and Plesiomonas shigelloides isolated from aquatic environments and fish and human diarrhoeal cases in the Philippines and Thailand were characterised for potential virulencemarkers, such as the production of cytotoxin, cell-associated and cell-free haemolysin and their capacity to adhere to human intestinal (Henle 407) cells invitro.

  6. 45. Interferon-α-modulatory sequences from the genome of porcine circovirus type 2

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biosciences

    Author : Frida Hasslung; [2003]
    Keywords : interferon; porcine circovirus; PCV-2; CpG; inhibitory;

    Abstract : Porcine circovirus (PCV) type 2 is an emerging pathogen among pigs, which has been associated with several severe disease syndromes. To date little is known of the pathogenesis and epidemiology of PCV, and how the virus affects the immune system of the host. READ MORE
