C j will be used as boundary condition for propagating the agent in the next adjacent links see Eq. (1).
In this case, PrioV3 antibody would be able to block PrPC incorporation into propagating infectious agents and at the same time neutralize the infectious template, PrPSc.
To address these issues, we investigated the susceptibility of cell lines used or proposed for manufacture of biologics and controls to propagate TSE agents, especially the BSE agent, under simulated worst-case conditions.
Since agents can join and leave the MAS at any time, it is important that knowledge acquired by single agents can be transferred or propagated between agents, to ensure that knowledge is not lost, in the case that an agent leaves the system.
The recognition of >20 BSE cases in North America since 2003 (most in Canada) has increased the need to determine whether cell substrates that might be accidentally exposed to the BSE agent are capable of acquiring and propagating the infectious agent and potentially transmitting infections to vaccine recipients (20 ).
A hierarchy of "master slave relationships is used, with the event of an autonomous motion of a controller agent propagating to its two neighboring in the formation chain and progressively further on toward the two endpoints of the chain.
Termitomyces conidia, unlike those of other fungi which serve as clonally propagating and dispersal agents, are produced within nodules at fungus gardens within sequestered termite colonies.
In this paper, techniques will be presented that enable representation of common extendable action knowledge for task solutions in an agent's knowledge base and additionally, algorithms for propagating this knowledge between agents efficiently and with minimum required communication effort.
These results support the contention that the TSE agent propagated in tgBov mice and tgHu were vCJD and sCJD agents, respectively.
Using this overlay monitoring agents propagate and receive state from other, nearby, agents.
Implication of a microbe in a disease via Koch's postulate requires demonstration that an agent is specific for that disease, and that disease can be reproduced in a naïve host by inoculation with the agent propagated in culture following isolation from an affected host.
