X-chromosome-linked immune-deficient mice have B-1b cells.

Abstract: The B lymphocyte subsets of X-chromosome-linked immune-deficient (XID) mice were examined by flow cytometric analyses of spleen and peritoneal cells. As shown in prior studies, young adult XID mice had reduced representation of the CD5 + (B-la) subset in their peritoneal cavity. However, the CD1 1b + (B-lb) B-cell subset was present and exhibited the IgM h i CD45 l o CD23 phenotype characteristic of most B- cells. Although present at a lower frequency than that found in their normal counterparts, B-1b cells were evident in CBA/N and (XD2J)F 1 male mice. With increasing age, B-1b cell number increased and in the oldest XID mice were present as B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. These results show that XID mice do have B-1 cells, particularly the B-1b subset.

An in‐depth examination of China's advertising regulation system

Abstract: Purpose – This paper seeks to propose a framework for systematically investigating international advertising regulation; to provide an in‐depth understanding of the Chinese advertising regulation system; and to use China as a case study to examine how various global and local forces interact and negotiate the landscape of international advertising regulationDesign/methodology/approach – The paper employs historical analysis; and textual analysis to achieve its purposeFindings – Chinese advertising regulation relies largely on government regulation, and self‐regulation plays a much subdued and marginal role The Chinese regulator aims to control the negative effects of advertising through rigorous regulation as well as certification and censorship programs, but its various advertising laws and regulations are invariably phrased in vague and general terms, so that enforcement and compliance become a major issue The lack of autonomous trade and consumer organizations combined with minimal public participa

Convergence rates of a global optimization algorithm

Abstract: This paper presents a best and worst case analysis of convergence rates for a deterministic global optimization algorithm. Superlinear convergence is proved for Lipschitz functions which are convex in the direction of the global maximum (concave in the direction of the global minimum). Computer results are given, which confirm the theoretical convergence rates.
