Equine-virulent, epidemic/epizootic strains of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus (VEEV) arise via mutation of progenitor enzootic strains that replicate poorly in equines. Sequencing studies have implicated positively charged amino acids on the surface of the E2 envelope glycoprotein in the acquisition of equine virulence and viremia potential, suggesting that changes in binding to cel...

Using the idea of prime and semiprime bi-ideals of rings, the concept of prime and semiprime generalized bi-ideals of rings is introduced, which is an extension of the concept of prime and semiprime bi-ideals of rings and some interesting characterizations of prime and semiprime generalized bi-ideals are obtained. Also, we give the relationship between the Baer radical and prime and semiprime g...

The Central American equine epizootic and epidemic of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) that began in June 1969 near the Guatemala-El Salvador border has been welldocumented (1-S). That outbreak spread southeast, reaching Guanacaste, Costa Rica, by 1970, and north, reaching southern Texas in 1971. The last known cases of equine infection by the exotic equine-virulent subtype I-AB strain of V...

In this paper the notions of bipolar valued fuzzy subsemigroup, bipolar valued fuzzy bi-ideal, bipolar valued fuzzy (1,2)ideal and bipolar valued fuzzy ideal in a Γ-semigroup have been introduced. Some important characterizations are also obtained. Mathematics Subject Classification: 20M12, 03F55, 03E72

The notions of prime(semiprime) fuzzy h-ideal(h-biideal, h-quasi-ideal) in Γ-hemiring are introduced and some of their characterizations are obtained by using ”belongingness(∈)” and ”quasi − coincidence(q)”. Cartesian product of prime(semiprime) fuzzy h-ideals of Γ-hemirings are also investigated. Keywords—Γ-hemiring, Fuzzy h-ideals, Prime fuzzy left h-ideal, Prime(semiprime) (∈,∈ ∨q)-fuzzy lef...

In a previous report, it was shown that nonviable Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) vaccines prepared by exposure of virus suspensions produced in WI-38 cells to ionizing radiations were highly effective in protecting guinea pigs subjected to intraperitoneal (ip) challenge with VEE virus. To characterize further the efficacy of irradiated vaccines, guinea pigs were immunized with three lots ...

Growing concern in the management of energy due to the increasing energy costs, has forced managers to optimize the amount of energy required to provide products and services. This research integrates an energy-based resource investment project-scheduling problem (RIP) under a multi-skilled structure of the resources. The proposed energy based multi skilled resource investment problem (EB-MSRIP...

We investigate the quantization problem of $(-1)$-shifted derived Poisson manifolds in terms $\BV_\infty$-operators on space Berezinian half-densities. prove that quantizing such a manifold is equivalent to lifting consecutive sequences Maurer-Cartan elements short exact differential graded Lie algebras, where obstruction certain class second cohomology. Consequently, quantizable if cohomology ...

Bi-factor analysis is a form of confirmatory factor analysis originally introduced by Holzinger. The bi-factor model has a general factor and a number of group factors. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an exploratory form of bi-factor analysis. An advantage of using exploratory bi-factor analysis is that one need not provide a specific bi-factor model a priori. The result of an explora...
