Chemokines are cytokines that display chemotactic
functions and coordinate the homeostatic circulation of
leukocytes by binding to G protein-coupled receptors.

(MCMDM-1VWD); VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR COLLAGEN
BINDING ASSAY; PLATELET FUNCTION ANALYZER (PFA)-100
(R) CLOSURE TIME; PLATELET DISORDERS
von Willebrand disease is a bleeding disorder caused by
inherited defects in von Willebrand factor, which is an
enormous multimeric blood protein necessary for
hemostasis.
REVERSIBLE DATA EMBEDDING; REVERSIBLE
DATA HIDING SCHEME; REVERSIBLE WATERMARK;
VQ-COMPRESSED IMAGES USING SIDE MATCHING
Reversible data embedding embeds information into

COMPANIES' FINANCIAL DISTRESS PREDICTION
Financial forecasting using support vector machines
provide powerful algorithms based on statistical
learning theory and risk minimization.
Recent advances in computational topology design and
solid free-form fabrication have made it possible to

Many pathogenic or symbiotic bacteria use complex,
supramolecular machines, to transfer bacterial proteins
into eukaryotic cells to modulate their function.
PARIETAL CORTEX; FRONTAL CORTEX; HUMAN INTRAPARIETAL;
COMPARATIVE MAPPING; HIGHER VISUAL AREAS
Surface-based registration of macaque cortical areas
onto the map of functional magnetic resonance imaging
responses suggests a spatial correspondence between
human and macaque parietal areas.
