In this study, we report the complete genome sequences of three clinical isolates of dengue virus serotype 1 isolated from South Korean travelers returning from different countries in Southeast Asia. The nucleotide sequence identities ranged from 91.5 to 92.2%, while the amino acid sequence identities ranged from 97.5 to 97.9% among the three clinical isolates.

J. Lepowsky and R. Wilson gave in [LW] a Lie-theoretic interpretation of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities in terms of representations of the affine Lie algebra g̃ = sl(2,C). The product sides of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities follow from the principally specialized Weyl-Kac character formula, the sum sides follow from the construction of bases parameterized by partitions satisfying difference 2 ...

In the newest and strongest security models for group signatures [7, 10, 41], attackers are given the capability to query an Open Oracle, OO, in order to obtain the signer identity of the queried signature. This oracle mirrors the Decryption Oracle in security experiments involving encryption schemes, and the security notion of CCA2-full-anonymity for group signatures mirrors the security notio...

We use Cvitanović’s diagrammatic techniques to construct the rational solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation associated with the e6 and e7 families of Lie algebras, and thus explain Westbury’s observations about their uniform spectral decompositions. In doing so we explore the extensions of the Brauer and symmetric group algebras to the centralizer algebras of e7 and e6 on their lowest-dimension...

A great deal has been written regarding the internet in relation to the key categories of subjectivity, identity and body. Curiously, such studies have rarely, if any, engaged with the matter of disability. This eclipse of disability is all the more puzzling given that disability plays a rhetorically central function in important texts in internet studies. Interestingly, disability is often men...

One major aspect of research in forensic entomology is the investigation of molecular techniques for the accurate identification of insects. Studies to date have addressed the corpse fauna of many geographical regions, but generally neglected the southern African calliphorid species. In this study, forensically significant calliphorids from South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana and Zimbabwe and Aus...

This paper reviews chemically selective imaging at the single-atom/molecule level by molecular STM tips. The molecular tips enable the recognition of a particular chemical species on the basis of chemical interactions with a sample molecule, including hydrogen-bond, metal-coordination, and charge-transfer interactions. The chemical selectivity can be tailored by designing functional groups of t...

Phage-encoded serine integrases mediate directionally regulated site-specific recombination between short attP and attB DNA sites without host factor requirements. These features make them attractive for genome engineering and synthetic genetics, although the basis for DNA site selection is poorly understood. Here we show that attP selection is determined through multiple proofreading steps tha...

How are complex visual entities such as scenes represented in the human brain? More concretely, along what visual and semantic dimensions are scenes encoded in memory? One hypothesis is that global spatial properties provide a basis for categorizing the neural response patterns arising from scenes. In contrast, non-spatial properties, such as single objects, also account for variance in neural ...

In this paper we introduce a generating function F t sk(v)(z) which is a polynomial in terms of z whose coefficients are some intersection matrices. This provides a uniform framework in which several intersection matrices can be extracted from F t sk(v)(z). Several nice properties of F t sk(v)(z) are derived by applying the operator d/dz and studying the operator zd/dz. In the new framework som...
