A reassortant, TyRh, was isolated after coinfection of MA104 cells with avian Ty-1 and simian RRV rotaviruses. Hybridization and serological studies showed that the reassortant's 4th gene, which encodes Vp4, was derived from the simian RRV rotavirus parent, whereas the remaining 10 genes were derived from the avian Ty-1 rotavirus parent.

Beat-to-beat variability of the QT interval (QTV) is sought to provide an indirect noninvasive measure of sympathetic nerve activity, but a formal quantification of this relationship has not been provided. In this study we used power contribution analysis to study the relationship between QTV and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). ECG and MSNA were recorded in 10 healthy subjects in the ...

In support of a large, combined Australia-United States of America military exercise at Shoalwater Bay in south-eastern Queensland during March 1997 (TANDEM THRUST 97), the United States Navy sent the Deployed Public Health Laboratory (DPHL) into the field with the forces. The purpose of this was preventative medicine as well as disease and vector surveillance. Among the numerous potential thre...

The translocation operation is one of the popular operations for genome rearrangement. In this paper, we present a 1.75approximation algorithm for computing unsigned translocation distance which improves upon the best known 2-approximation algorithm [J. Kececioglu, R. Ravi, Of mice and men: Algorithms for evolutionary distances between genomes with translocation, in: 6th ACM–SIAM Symposium on D...

Laboratory methods and questionnaires to assess the relative reinforcing value of food (RRV-F) have been developed, but this is the first study to validate an online questionnaire measure of the RRV-F. Participants (281 college students) completed an online survey assessing demographic variables, food preferences, and the RRV-F. A subsample (n=21) also completed a laboratory food choice session...
