A total of 917 Mycoplasma isolations were made from 4 092 specimens originating from 2 874 cattle in private herds and at AI stations. The percentages of isolations from the different sources were: cervico-vaginal mucus 14,6%, semen 43%, preputial wash 25%, foetuses 3,3% and placentas 15%. Mycoplasma bovigenitalium, the most common isolate, was recovered from 39% of males, 47% of females, 25% o...

GABP is an ets transcription factor that regulates genes that are required for myeloid differentiation. The tetrameric GABP complex includes GABPα, which binds DNA via its ets domain, and GABPβ, which contains the transcription activation domain. To examine the role of GABP in myeloid differentiation, we generated mice in which Gabpa can be conditionally deleted in hematopoietic tissues. Gabpa ...

The set of frequent closed itemsets determines exactly the complete set of all frequent itemsets and is usually much smaller than the latter. In this paper, an algorithm based on index array for mining frequent closed itemsets, Index-FCI is proposed. The vertical BitTable is adopted to compress the dataset for counting fast the support. To make use of the horizontal BitTable, the index array co...
