Brucella suis ΔmapB outer membrane vesicles as an acellular vaccine against systemic and mucosal B. suis infection by Florencia Muñoz González, Florencia Muñoz González, Magali G. Bialer, Maria L. Cerutti, Silvia M. Estein, Lila Y. Ramis, Pablo C. Baldi, Pablo C. Baldi, Ángeles Zorreguieta, Ángeles Zorreguieta, Mariana C. Ferrero, Mariana C. Ferrero

“…Serum antibodies from both OMVs groups reduced B. suis adherence and invasion of lung epithelial cells and enhanced its phagocytosis by macrophages. Upon in vitro antigen stimulation, spleen cells from mice immunized with ΔmapB OMVs secreted higher levels of interleukin-17 and especially gamma interferon compared to cells from mice immunized with wt OMVs, suggesting the induction of a stronger T helper 1 response in the ΔmapB OMVs group. …”

Sécurité aux frontières : Portée et limites de la stratégie algérienne by Abdennour Benantar

“…This strategy is guided by three cardinal principles: the non-intervention in the internal affairs of States; the non-intervention of the Algerian armed forces outside the national territory; the endogenous management of regional security issues (i.e. the rejection of any form of external intervention). Despite its contribution to securing the border strip, however, this strategy is still limited for several reasons: the State-centric orientation found whenever dealing with specific issues; the inoperativeness of some cardinal principles in an evolving context characterized by the affirmation of non-state actors; the mutations of the terrorist phenomenon; a highly unstable regional context; a lack of strategic convergence in the region.…”

An Incremental Kernel Density Estimator for Data Stream Computation by Yulin He, Jie Jiang, Dexin Dai, Klohoun Fabrice

“…The theoretical analysis proves the convergence of the I-KDE only if the estimated p.d.f. of newly coming data is convergent to its true p.d.f. In order to guarantee the convergence of the I-KDE, a new multivariate fixed-point iteration algorithm based on the unbiased cross validation (UCV) method is developed to determine the optimal bandwidth of the KDE. …”

Performing Not-Not-Me in SoMe: A New Theatrical Typology of Self-Presentation Online by Anne-Britt Gran

“…We argue that Goffman’s dramaturgical model belongs to another era, and that online self-presentation needs new theoretical approaches and new content. Compared to its predominant usage in SoMe research, our approach involves a perspective shift from what do SoMe users present (e.g., social role, identity/identities, idealized self, authentic self, brand) to how they perform it, concerning the style of acting and dressing, the use of props, makeup, symbols and signs, emotions, and expressions. …”
