In the present invention, a polarization having a lower polarization level than a saturation polarization is caused in a ferroelectric capacitor by applying a voltage that is lower than a saturation voltage to the ferroelectric capacitor. As disclosed herein, the invention relates to administering a vaccine and a regimen of thymosin alpha peptide so as to provide higher antibody titers, speed the development of such antibody titers, andor to provide for a longer duration of such antibody titers, thereby providing a greater protective effect. The panels are positioned on the platform. Additionally, the elongate member may be curved along at least a portion of its length.
