In this paper we present a system for aircraft structural health monitoring based on artificial immune systems with negative selection. Inspired by a biological process, the principle of discrimination proper/non-proper, ...

This work proposes a recent methodology for developing structural health monitoring based on intelligent computing techniques, with the purpose of detecting structural damages in aircrafts using artificial immune systems ...

This chapter presents a Wavelet-Artificial Immune System (WAIS) algorithm to diagnose failures in aeronautical structures. Basically, after obtaining the vibration signals in the structure, the wavelet module is used to ...

Phase I/II clinical trials of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) have led to increased safety and efficacy of this therapy for severe and refractory autoimmune diseases (AD). Recent phase III ...

The allogeneic therapeutic vaccine CSF-470 has demonstrated a significant benefit over medium-dose IFNa2b in the distant metastasis-free survival for stages IIB-IIC-III cutaneous melanoma patients in a randomized phase ...

The Structural Health Monitoring evaluates the situation of aeronautical, civil or mechanical structures and provides a forecast of its remaining useful life, acting in decision making, being able to intervene in critical ...

Despite successful HIV suppression by antiretroviral treatment (ART), immune activation may persist in HIV patients, contributing to an impaired immunological reconstitution and disease progression. Information regarding ...
