Reduction and Refinement [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 2008
In this paper we explore the relation between refinement and reduction, especially as it is used in the context of cryptography. We show how refinement is a special case of reduction, and more interestingly, how reduction is an instance of a novel generalisation, ''refinement with context''.

Relational Concurrent Refinement: Timed Refinement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Data refinement in a state-based language such as Z is defined using a relational model in terms of the behaviour of abstract programs. Downward and upward simulation conditions form a sound and jointly complete methodology to verify relational data refinements, which can be checked on an event-by-event basis rather than per trace.

The KIR repertoire of a West African chimpanzee population is characterized by limited gene, allele, and haplotype variation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionThe killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) play a pivotal role in modulating the NK cell responses, for instance, through interaction with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules.

The Genomic Organization of the LILR Region Remained Largely Conserved Throughout Primate Evolution: Implications for Health And Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
The genes of the leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor (LILR) family map to the leukocyte receptor complex (LRC) on chromosome 19, and consist of both activating and inhibiting entities. These receptors are often involved in regulating immune responses,

Rapid Characterization of Complex Killer Cell Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor (KIR) Regions Using Cas9 Enrichment and Nanopore Sequencing

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Long-read sequencing approaches have considerably improved the quality and contiguity of genome assemblies. Such platforms bear the potential to resolve even extremely complex regions, such as multigenic immune families and repetitive stretches of DNA ...

Surgical or Nonsurgical Facial Rejuvenation: The Patients’ Choice

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2023
Background:. Patients seeking a pan-facial rejuvenation may not receive appropriate medical advice on surgical versus nonsurgical treatments, resulting in those who are best-suited for surgery receiving nonsurgical options, and vice versa.

Sensory Symptoms Associated with Aesthetic Botulinum Toxin A Treatments

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2022
Background:. A retrospective review of patients who switched from onabotulinumtoxinA (onaA) and/or abobotulinumtoxinA (aboA) to incobotulinumtoxinA (incoA) found anecdotal reports of differences in “feel,” including a “lighter” feel or treatment ...

Neuromodulating the SMAS for Natural Dynamic Results

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2021
Summary:. Physicians using neuromodulators need to develop an in-depth and holistic understanding of the facial musculature as a single, large, functional structure that does not work in isolation.

Testing refinements by refining tests [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
One of the potential benefits of formal methods is that they offer the possibility of reducing the costs of testing. A specification acts as both the benchmark against which any implementation is tested, and also as the means by which tests are generated.

The Genetic Mechanisms Driving Diversification of the KIR Gene Cluster in Primates

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
The activity and function of natural killer (NK) cells are modulated through the interactions of multiple receptor families, of which some recognize MHC class I molecules.
