ABSTRACT Phagocytosis by innate immune cells is one of the most effective barriers against the multiplication and dissemination of microbes within the mammalian host.Candida albicans, a pathogenic yeast, has robust mechanisms that allow survival upon macrophage phagocytosis.C.albicans survives in part because it can utilize the alternative carbon s

The graphene based metal-insulator-metal (MIM) metamaterial is numerically investigated to realize an active and adjustable multi-band perfect absorber, which is composed of an asymmetric double T-shaped cavity on the top layer.As the symmetry of T-shaped cavities is broken, the previous dual-band absorption will be converted to tri-band absorber.T

Remote sensing images have found numerous applications nowadays.A traditional outcome or intermediate result of their processing is a classification map.Such maps are usually obtained from a pre-trained classifier and it is desired to have the produced classification maps as accurately as possible.The basic subject of this article is the factors de

Process modeling by means of Gaussian-based algorithms often suffers from redundant information which usually increases the estimation computational complexity without significantly improving the estimation performance.In this article, a non-arbitrary measurement selection criterion for Gaussian-based algorithms is proposed.The measurement selectio

Since the financial crisis of 2008, the network analysis of financial systems has attracted a lot of attention.In this paper, we analyze the global banking network via the method of Random Matrix Theory.By applying that method on a cross border lending network, it is shown that while the connectivity between different parts of the network has risen
