Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFunctional Characterization of Neutrophils from Nine-Banded Armadillos (Dasypus novemcicntus; Edentata, Dasypodidae) Infected with MicrofilariaeMarcela López-Hurtado, Fernando M. Guerra-InfanteThe neutrophils from uninfected armadillos have adequate phagocytic and bacteriocidal activity, but diminished chemotactic activity. However, endocytic activity from armadillo neutrophils infected with bacteria, parasites or viruses is unknown. This report shows that neutrophils from armadillos infected with microfilariae displayed deficiencies in their bacteriocidal mechanisms and TNF-like production, but not in their endocytic capacity. …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,659 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproved AIMD- A Mathematical StudyV. S.P. Srivastav, M. K. Gupta, Sachin Kumar, Kadambri AgarwalOne of the crucial elements in the Internet is the ability to adequately control Congestion. AIMD (Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease) is the best algorithm among the set of liner algorithms because it reflects good efficiency as well as good fairness. Our Control model is based on original approach of AIMD. In this paper we introduce improved version of AIMD. We … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,000 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplying Evolutionary Computing in Case Retrieval StageNabila Nouaouria-Amri, Med Tayeb LaskriCase Based Reasoning is a problem solving paradigm which is able to retrieve and reuse solutions that have worked for similar situations in the past. Past situations and their solutions are stored in a memory called case base. To find the good experiment in memory is the key of success in the reasoning. To identify adequate experiment in memory constitutes … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,738 accessesView PDF Cite
