This study evaluated the clinical usefulness of a newly introduced multiplex reverse transcription PCR assay (Seeplex RV; Seegene, Inc., Seoul, Korea) in patients with respiratory symptoms. Fifty clinical respiratory specimens (45 from children, 5 from adults) were tested for 8 viruses (influenza virus type A and B, parainfluenza virus type 1, 2, 3, respiratory syncytial virus type A and B, and...

Recently Demailly and Kóllar have developed some new techniques to study the existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics on compact Fano orbifolds [DK]. Johnson and Kóllar applied these techniques to study Kähler-Einstein metrics on certain log del Pezzo surfaces in weighted projective 3-spaces [JK1] as well as anti-canonically embedded orbifold Fano 3-folds in weighted projective 4-spaces [JK2]. In [...

Our main demographic analysis is based on the Generalized Phylogenetic Coalescent Sampler (G-PhoCS) developed by Gronau et al. [1]. G-PhoCS performs demographic inference conditioned on a given population phylogeny augmented by a collection of migration bands (see Fig. S9.1.1). Migration bands describe scenarios of post-divergence gene flow in the demographic model, and are defined by ordered p...

The Universal Serial Bus is a complex and, therefore, a popular bus on personal computers and other devices. Many devices including disks, keyboards, mice, and network cards are attached to computers using it. The bus is a tree with hubs as nodes and devices as leafs and uses pol­ ling from the root of the tree, which is the bus controller. It permits hot plugging and removal of devices at any ...

In tricyclic fragment of the title mol-ecule, C(20)H(14)ClNOS, the central 1,4-dihydro-pyridine ring adopts a boat conformation while the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 17.38 (5)°. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains propagating along the b axis.

yoghurt is a unique fermented dairy product, consumed throughout the world and the trend ofconsumption is increasing due to its unique health benefits. yoghurt mix is often supplemented with msnf(milk solids-non-fat), it may contain as much as 5.7% unhydrolysed lactose. lactose can be hydrolysed withan enzyme lactase. deficiency of lactase in lactose-intolerant persons leads to gastrointestinal...

Jupiter’s upper atmosphere forms the boundary between the lower atmosphere and interplanetary space. As the topmost layer, the thermosphere absorbs solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation and charged particles from the magnetosphere that cause dissociation and ionization of thermospheric molecules. Subsequent chemistry establishes the ionosphere and the densities of minor, photoand electroche...
