Interaction of the Human Contact System with Pathogens-An Update. [PDF]
Front Immunol, 2018 The name human contact system is related to its mode of action, as “contact” with artificial negatively charged surfaces triggers its activation. Today, it is generally believed that the contact system is an inflammatory response mechanism not only ...

The contact system in liver injury. [PDF]
Semin Immunopathol, 2021 AbstractCoagulation is controlled by a delicate balance of prothrombotic and antithrombotic mechanisms, to prevent both excessive blood loss from injured vessels and pathologic thrombosis. The liver plays a pivotal role in hemostasis through the synthesis of plasma coagulation factors and their inhibitors that, in addition to thrombosis and hemostasis,

Railway Overhead Contact System Point Cloud Classification. [PDF]
Sensors (Basel), 2021 As the railway overhead contact system (OCS) is the key component along the high-speed railway, it is crucial to detect the quality of the OCS. Compared with conventional manual OCS detection, the vehicle-mounted Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR ...

Virulence Associated Gene 8 of Bordetella pertussis Enhances Contact System Activity by Inhibiting the Regulatory Function of Complement Regulator C1 Inhibitor. [PDF]
Front Immunol, 2018 Bordetella pertussis is a Gram-negative bacterium and the causative agent of whooping cough. Whooping cough is currently re-emerging worldwide and, therefore, still poses a continuous global health threat. B. pertussis expresses several virulence factors

Electrodynamic braking in high‐speed rail transport [PDF]
Transport, 2007 The paper considers electrodynamic braking of trains, which is of particular importance for high‐speed railway transport from theoretical and technical perspectives. Braking methods used for high‐speed trains should ensure compatibility and redundancy of

Contact Hamiltonian systems [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2019 In this paper, we study Hamiltonian systems on contact manifolds, which is an appropriate scenario to discuss dissipative systems. We show how the dissipative dynamics can be interpreted as a Legendrian submanifold, and also prove a coisotropic reduction theorem similar to the one in symplectic mechanics; as a consequence, we get a method to reduce the
