Dengue viruses (DENV) are the most important mosquito transmitted viral pathogens infecting humans. DENV infection produces a spectrum of disease, most commonly causing a self-limiting flu-like illness known as dengue fever; yet with increased frequency, manifesting as life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Waning cross-protective immunity from any of the four dengue serotypes may enh...

The constant-ratio rule (CRR) and four interpretations of R. D. Lute’s (In R. D. Lute, R. R. Bush, & E. Galanter (Eds.), Handbook ofmathematicalpsychology (Vol. 1). New York: Wiley, 1963) similarity choice model (SCM) were tested using an alphabetic confusion paradigm. Four stimulus conditions were employed that varied in set size (three, four or five stimulus elements) and set constituency (bl...

In the present academic and engineering fields, every measure function of product reliability is modeled estimated from statistical perspective. These indicate that there universally exist differences in reliabilities new identical products survive burn-in test. On basis products, designing through-life maintenance models for managing different a very practical topic fields. this study, random ...

One of the most convenient biometrics approaches for identifying a person is dorsal hand veins recognition. In recent years, have acquired increasing attention because its characteristics such as universal, unique, permanent, contactless, and difficulty forging, also, remain unchanged when human being grows. The captured image suffers from many differences in lighting conditions, brightness, ex...

BACKGROUND For real-time assessment of the probability of survival (Ps) of blunt trauma victims at emergency centers, this study aimed to establish regression models for estimating Ps using simplified coefficients. METHODS The data of 10,210 blunt trauma patients not missing both the binary outcome data about survival and the data necessary for Ps calculation by The Trauma and Injury Severity...

We perform molecular dynamics simulations of a one-component glass-forming liquid and use the inherent structure formalism to test the predictions of the Adam-Gibbs (AG) theory and to explore the possible connection between these predictions and spatially heterogeneous dynamics. We calculate the temperature dependence of the average potential energy of the equilibrium liquid and show that it ob...

Future approaches to equine parasite control must seek greater sustainability by exploiting inherent host resistance and acquired immunity, implementing management procedures that reduce transmission, and using anthelmintic treatments much less frequently and only in selected members of a herd. Author’s address: East Tennessee Clinical Research, Inc., 80 Copper Ridge Farm Road, Rockwood, Tennes...

To realize the classification of lubricating oil types using mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was used for dimensionality reduction spectrum data, and model established based on support vector machine (SVM). The spectra samples were pre-processed by interval selection, Savitzky–Golay smoothing, multiple scattering correction, normalization. Kennard–Stone algor...

We design and implement a high availability parallel run-time system---ChaRM64, a Checkpointbased Rollback Recovery and Migration system for parallel running programs on a cluster of IA-64 computers. At first, we discuss our solution of a user-level, single process checkpoint/recovery library running on IA-64 systems. Based on this library, ChaRM64 is realized, which implements a user-transpare...

Background: Expression of the bgl operon of Escherichia coli, involved in the regulated uptake and utilization of aromatic b-glucosides, is extremely sensitive to the presence of glucose in the growth medium. We have analysed the mechanism by which glucose exerts its inhibitory effect on bgl expression. Results: Our studies show that initiation of transcription from the bgl promoter is only mar...
