AIDS Quartet
نویسنده
چکیده
Not long ago, I e-mailed Donald McNeil, Jr. I wanted to know how many HIV/AIDS articles the New York Times reporter had written over the years. “Fiddling with the Times’ website and internal library . . . produces 201 to 495,” McNeil replied. “I think it’s safe to say I’ve written 400 stories about AIDS.” At the end of this piece I’ll share McNeil’s favorite, but for now I’ll state the obvious. No infectious disease has yielded more inches of newsprint or popular book pages. So what makes for a fresh, inspiring read—and might even inform policy–in this HIV-AIDS info-laden era? I set out to answer that question by reading several recent books about HIV/AIDS.

An ab initio quantum chemical investigation of TOMS nmr SHIELDING TENSORS IN Adenine-thymine, Adenine-uracil, Guanine-Cytosine & uracil-quartet: comparison between theoretical and experimental results
We have evaluated the NMR shielding tensors for A:T,G:C,A:U in Watson-crick, and U-quartet. We have computed NMR shielding tensors at B31YP level by using 6-31G(d) basis set. We have compute anisotropy and asymmetry in A:T,G:C,A:U and U-quartet. The NMR shielding tensors were calculated using the GIAO method. The natural bonding orbital analysis (NBO) were performed. NBO calculation have been ...
متن کاملQuartet Cleaning: Improved Algorithms and Simulations
A critical step in all quartet methods for constructing evolutionary trees is the inference of the topology for each set of four sequences (i.e. quartet). It is a well–known fact that all quartet topology inference methods make mistakes that result in the incorrect inference of quartet topology. These mistakes are called quartet errors. In this paper, two efficient algorithms for correcting bou...
متن کاملStructured-tree topology and adaptive evolution of the simian immunodeficiency virus SIVsm envelope during serial passage in rhesus macaques according to likelihood mapping and quartet puzzling.
Species-specific strains of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) are nonpathogenic in African primates. The SIV strain most closely related to human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) is SIVsm, the strain specific to the sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys). Infection of Asian primates with SIV causes AIDS and allows the study of the adaptive evolution of a lentivirus to replicate efficiently in ...
متن کاملA novel case of quartet tumor: meningioma, angiomyolipoma, ependymoma and sarcoma: report of a case and review of the literature
Multiple primary tumors in a single patient are relatively rare when four or more distinct lesions are considered. Herein, we report a case of woman with four different primary tumors: meningioma, renal angiomyolipoma, spinal ependymoma and high-grade soft tissue sarcoma. There was no family history and hereditary syndrome. The genetic analysis was completely normal. To best of our knowledge, t...
متن کاملA Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme for Inferring Evolutionary Trees from Quartet Topologies and Its Application
Inferring evolutionary trees has long been a challenging problem both for biologists and computer scientists. In recent years research has concentrated on the quartet method paradigm for inferring evolutionary trees. Quartet methods proceed by rst inferring the evolutionary history for every set of four species (resulting in a set Q of inferred quartet topologies) and then recombining these inf...
