The Functional Role of IgA in the IgM/IgA-Enriched Immunoglobulin Preparation Trimodulin

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2021
In comparison to human immunoglobulin (Ig) G, antibodies of IgA class are not well investigated. In line with this, the functional role of the IgA component in IgM/IgA-enriched immunoglobulin preparations is also largely unknown.

Are cluster validity measures (in) valid?

open access: yesInformation Sciences, 2021
Internal cluster validity measures (such as the Calinski-Harabasz, Dunn, or Davies-Bouldin indices) are frequently used for selecting the appropriate number of partitions a dataset should be split into. In this paper we consider what happens if we treat such indices as objective functions in unsupervised learning activities.
