An introduction to the immune network [PDF]
arXiv, 1995 In this paper, after a telegraphic introduction to modern immunology, we present a simple model for the idiotypic network among antibodies and we study its relevance for the maintenance of immunological memory. We also consider the problem of computing the memory capacity of such a model.

Future perspective for diagnosis in autoimmune diseases [PDF]
, 2009 Human beings have taken successive approaches for the understanding and management of diseases. Initially brewed in supernatural concepts and mystical procedures, a vigorous scientific approach has emerged on the grounds of fundamental disciplines such ...

Syndrome Measurement Strategies for the [[7,1,3]] Code [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Quantum error correction (QEC) entails the encoding of quantum information into a QEC code space, measuring error syndromes to properly locate and identify errors, and, if necessary, applying a proper recovery operation. Here we compare three syndrome measurement protocols for the [[7,1,3]] QEC code: Shor states, Steane states, and one ancilla qubit by

On the use of clustering and the MeSH controlled vocabulary to improve MEDLINE abstract search [PDF]
, 2005 Databases of genomic documents contain substantial amounts of structured information in addition to the texts of titles and abstracts. Unstructured information retrieval techniques fail to take advantage of the structured information available.

A Beginners Guide to Systems Simulation in Immunology [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Some common systems modelling and simulation approaches for immune problems are Monte Carlo simulations, system dynamics, discrete-event simulation and agent-based simulation. These methods, however, are still not widely adopted in immunology research.

The CHARGE study: an epidemiologic investigation of genetic and environmental factors contributing to autism. [PDF]
, 2006 Causes and contributing factors for autism are poorly understood. Evidence suggests that prevalence is rising, but the extent to which diagnostic changes and improvements in ascertainment contribute to this increase is unclear.

Statistical Issues in the Diagnosis of Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive Head Trauma [PDF]
arXivThe diagnosis of Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive Head Trauma (SBS/AHT) is fraught with controversy due to critical statistical deficiencies in the data underpinning these diagnoses. This paper examines the reliability and scientific foundation of SBS/AHT through a statistical lens, highlighting the lack of independently verified ground truth, contextual ...

Is A Quantum Stabilizer Code Degenerate or Nondegenerate for Pauli Channel? [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 Mapping an error syndrome to the error operator is the core of quantum decoding network and is also the key step of recovery. The definitions of the bit-flip error syndrome matrix and the phase-flip error syndrome matrix were presented, and then the error syndromes of quantum errors were expressed in terms of the columns of the bit-flip error syndrome ...

A High-Performance List Decoding Algorithm for Surface Codes with Erroneous Syndrome [PDF]
arXivQuantum error-correcting codes (QECCs) are necessary for fault-tolerant quantum computation. Surface codes are a class of topological QECCs that have attracted significant attention due to their exceptional error-correcting capabilities and easy implementation.
