Probabilistic verification beyond context-freeness by Li, G

“…Originating from the Restricted Tree-Stack Automaton (rTSA), the rPTSA model inherits broad connections to various fields, including linguistics and higher-order verification. Building on these connections, the research also introduces Probabilistic Additive HORS (PAHORS), which incorporates an affineness constraint and pair-product structures into PHORS.…”

The role of dendritic cells in determining the breadth and epitope specificity of the initial CD8+ T cell response during acute HIV-1 infection by Partridge, T

“…The earliest CD8⁺ T cell responses decrease in magnitude as viraemia begins to decline, and are followed by delayed expansion of subsequent waves of responses of broader epitope-specificity. In this thesis, the hypotheses that prevalent presentation of Nef-derived epitopes by dendritic cells (DCs) favours priming of Nef-biased CD8⁺ T cell responses in AHI, and that impairments in DC function after the first responses are primed delay expansion of responses of additional specificities, were explored. …”
