Anelloviruses are nonenveloped single-stranded DNA viruses infecting a wide range of mammals. We report three complete genomes of novel anelloviruses detected in laboratory rats. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrates that these viruses are related to but distinct from recently described rodent Torque teno viruses (RoTTVs) found in wild rodent species.

Worlds MIDI can be used to investigate the sounds formed by data and relationships that exist in various real and abstract worlds. These worlds include descriptive data or organisational relationships that occur within chemistry, mathematics, artificial life and biology. Descriptive data or data from any process can be converted into MIDI data and performed in real-time. The sounds of cellular ...

PortAudio is an open source 'C' language API and library for implementing cross-platform real-time audio applications. This paper describes recent additions to the PortAudio API designed to assist in implementing synchronisation between real-time audio and other time-based data such as MIDI and computer graphics. Examples are presented that illustrate synchronisation of a graphical display to r...

MIDI guitar synthesizers currently exist to transform the sound coming from the vibrating guitar strings to MIDI events. These achieve high accuracy and real-time performance through dedicated hardware. In particular, special pickups are used to generate a single signal for each string and special processing units convert the signals to MIDI events. This paper explores the ability to achieve re...

OBJECTIVES Demonstrate that DNA viremia is common in pediatric sepsis and quantitate its associations with host immune function and secondary infection risk. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort study. PATIENTS Seventy-three children admitted with sepsis-induced organ failure. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS This study was performed as an ancillary inv...

Using metagenomic approaches, we identified a novel Torque teno virus from Brazilian free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis) (TT-TbV). The TT-TbV genome and deduced protein sequences share extremely low identity with known anelloviruses. Due to a high degree of phylogenetic divergence, such putative virus could not be allocated into any Anelloviridae genera.

A This paper describes a method of content indexing for Multimedia Databases using binary signatures for MIDI format archives. The analysis scheme focuses on the primary audio objects of the Multimedia environment, applies a reduction mechanism and extracts characteristic patterns forming motifs (musical themes). Binary signatures are associated with these audio segments they describe. For each...

This memo offers non-normative implementation guidance for the Realtime Protocol (RTP) MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) payload format. The memo presents its advice in the context of a network musical performance application. In this application two musicians, located in different physical locations, interact over a network to perform as they would if located in the same room. Underl...
