FDCS is not a railroad and FDCS employees are not railroad employees.
While FDCS is engaged in loading and unloading new vehicles on and off NSC rail cars at the Venice facility, NSC offered no evidence or testimony to show that the work performed by FDCS employees is work traditionally performed by railroad employees.
FDCS does not operate a railroad and is not directly or indirectly owned by a rail carrier.

 Alphabetilately: Collins FDCs
Another thing I look for in a FDC maker is an awareness of the relationships among stamp issues.
The one on the right is a true Joint Issue cover, with both the stamps and the official FDC cancels of both countries.
The cranes issue was a favorite of mine to begin with, which seemed to inspire many FDC makers to produce exceptional covers, and Fred was no exception.

 [Ip-health] MSF letter to Tobias and Thompson on upcoming FDC meeting
Because FDCs promote adherence, decrease the risk of resistance, and facilitate stock and procurement management, they are widely recognized as being a key element in efforts to scale up ARV treatment in developing countries.
FDCs are recommended in WHO treatment guidelines and several FDCs, including those from generic producers, have been certified by WHO as meeting stringent international standards for drug quality, safety and efficacy through its Prequalification Project.
A recent meeting on FDCs held on December 16-18, 2003 organized by WHO, which documented some of the field experience with FDCs to date, came out in strong support of the use of FDCs and endorsed the WHO-managed UN Prequalification Project to help support the procurement of effective and safe medicines of quality.

FDCs in the absence or presence of the MAbs were analyzed by TEM.
FDCs were isolated and purified from human tonsils and exposed to HIV-1 at 4°C for 12 h in the absence (a) or in the presence of anti-CD54 (ICAM-1) MAb (b), anti-CD11a (LFA-1) MAb (c), anti-CD54 MAb plus anti-CD11a MAb (d), or anti-CD106 (VCAM-1) MAb (e).

 FDCs, Australia at The Collectible Stamps
In other words there may be multiple FOs calling in fire on multiple targets to multiple FDCs and any component may be in communication with some of the other elements depending on the situational requirements.
Because artillery is an indirect fire weapon, the forward observer must take up a position where he can observe the target using tools such as binoculars and laser range finders and designators and call back fire missions on his radio.
Typically, there is one FDC for a battery of six guns, in a light division.

 Expression of Cytokine Receptors on Follicular Dendritic Cells -- Yamada et al. 90 (12): 4832 -- Blood   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The cell surface of a binucleated FDC and the surface of the labyrinth-like structure of FDC embracing lymphocyte (L) are positively stained.
Isolated FDC with MACS was single-positive for IL-4R (Fig 5B) and double-positive for IL-4R and R4/23 on their cell surface (Fig 5C).
Here, FDCs in the LZ as well as often the OZ and MZ and lymphocytes in the GC expressed IL-4R, indicating that IL-4 produced by GC T cells bind to FDCs as well as to lymphocytes to secrete soluble CD23, which is important in promoting B-cell differentiation and proliferation.

To test whether FDCs need to be present at the onset of culture with HIV-ICs (anti-gp41) to maintain infectivity, FDCs were added to HIV-ICs either immediately or at day 7, 10, or 14 after IC formation.
Murine FDCs were cultured for 2 h with either control Ab (mouse IgG) or a mAb specific for murine Fc FDCs were then added to HIV-ICs or HIV without Ab and cultured at 37°C for 2 days.

One of my favorite FDCs is this House of Farnam dual-cancel that I prepared myself -- but tying the two November 1979 issues honoring the two friends who died on a flight within Alaska piloted by Wiley Post was hardly an original idea.

 [333 NLRB No. 11] Foreign and Domestic Car Service, Inc., 14-RC-12171
The failure of an FDCS employee to comply with an NSC policy, resulting in damage to a vehicle, can result in discipline of the employee; NSC advises FDCS what discipline to impose on the FDCS employee where there has been a “significant violation.”  NSC managers generally direct FDCS supervisors on what FDCS employees should do.
On September 21, 2000, the Board requested that the NMB study the record in this case and determine the applicability of the RLA to the FDCS.
The NMB uses a two-pronged jurisdictional analysis where the company is a separate corporate entity and does not fly aircraft for the public transportation of freight or passengers.

Collectors can buy recent FDCs from the Postal Service or from a dealer or stamp club, or they can create their own covers to send in for a special "first day of issue" cancel.
Many FDC collectors prefer a cacheted cover, which is an envelope or postcard with a printed design.

"It is important that FDCs become part of government policy in all countries, especially in the 22 TB high-burden countries," Dr Spinaci said today.
The authors explain that the FDCs are being recommended by WHO and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, and are now being used in about 40 countries.
The authors emphasize that although the use of FDCs simplifies prescribing and drug-taking, it does not eliminate the need for direct observation of TB treatment.

In these mice, transferred MZ B cells in close proximity to FDCs were found to have IgM-IC capped and directed toward the FDC dendrites, strongly suggesting IgM-IC was being transferred to FDCs by MZ B cells [15].
FDC-M2 is a FDC specific antibody [28] that detects the complement component C4 on FDCs [29].
Together, the data imply that the lack of FDC localization of IgM-IC in 6 month old p50-deficient mice is not due to functional inactivity of the MZ B cells that have accumulated in these mice, but reflects a loss of FDCs and/or FDC function by this age.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Follicular dendritic-like cells derived from human monocytes
Alternatively, FDCs have been claimed to originate within lymphoid organs from local mesenchymal precursors [6,7,11,14,16-18].
Of note, emperipolesis specifying the prolonged engulfment of B cells is a unique FDC property which, within germinal centres, is implicated in the protection of transiently internalised B cells from apoptosis [33].
In any case, the myeloid pathway desribed here obviously complements our previous findings on the ontogeny of T cell-directed DCs in that monocytes [20] and their myeloid precursors [50] can both be induced to quantitatively develop into T cell-tropic DCs, as is now commonly acknowledged.

 Brand-name FDCs and PEPFAR
The expedited review shortened the time to weeks, and was designed to encourage companies to invest in the development of fixed dose (creating one pill out of two or three individual drugs), co-packaged (putting two or more pills into single packaging for distribution) antiretroviral drug products.
Therefore, generic versions of these products couldn't be considered by FDA under their "expedited approval process." All makers of FDCs, right now Gilead and GSK, should promise not to sue generic drug makers in other countries and also release PK, stability and manufacturing data so these companies can reference this for the WHO prequalification process.
An FDC that combines all needed ARVs into one pill is ultimately preferable; the American FDCs are not stand-alone combinations—they still requires additional ARV(s) in order to constitute an effective regimen, vs the WHO pre-qualified triple combinations, which are complete treatments.

It would also be disastrous with regard to the development of urgently needed new FDCs, in particular pediatric formulations, which is unlikely to happen if FDCs are not endorsed by one of the key donors.
The PEPFAR representative said that this meeting is not an attempt to avoid using FDCs - "it is the opposite," he said.

B cells are white blood cells that develop from stem cells in the bone marrow and are responsible for giving rise to antibody-forming cells.
B cells are activated to begin producing antibodies when FDCs transfer to them immune complexes — which are tiny “packages” of antigens and antibodies that have been trapped in the body by the FcgRII molecules that reside on the surface of FDCs.
In 2001, VCU microbiologist John G. Tew, Ph.D., summarized the role of the FcgRII receptor on the surface of FDCs and indicated that regulating FcgRII would be critical for antibody responses.
