In this Letter, the broad emission line (BEL) profiles of superluminal quasars with apparent jet velocities, βa > 10, (ultraluminal QSOs, or ULQSOs hereafter) are studied as a diagnostic of the velocity field of the BEL emitting gas in quasars. The ULQSOs are useful because they satisfy a very strict kinematical constraint, their parsec scale jets must be propagating within 12◦ of the line of s...

Background BEL is approved for active SLE and lupus nephritis (adults only). Despite failed trials, 1 RTX remains in the treatment armamentarium. Sequential therapy offers a promising strategy to target B cells by distinct but complementary mechanisms. Objectives To assess pharmacodynamic effects of single cycle on immunologic biomarkers adults with SLE. Methods In this 104-week (wk) study ( NC...

The human foamy virus (HFV) bel-1 transactivator protein was expressed in insect cells by a recombinant baculovirus. For the generation of the recombinant baculovirus, Acbel-1, the bel-1 gene of an HFV mutant was used, that bears truncations in the bel-1 overlapping bel-2 open reading frame. Acbel-1 infected Sf9 cells produced high amounts of recombinant protein of the same electrophoretic mobi...

The Bel-1 transcriptional transactivator encoded by human foamy virus (HFV) can efficiently activate gene expression directed by both the HFV long terminal repeat (LTR) and internal (Int) promoter elements. By DNA footprinting and gel retardation analysis, we demonstrate that Bel-1 can specifically bind to discrete sites in both the LTR and Int promoter elements in vitro. However, transactivati...

This paper studies the combination of basic probability assignment (bpa) in evidence theory. After introducing an interpretation of the mass function we show that given two bpa Dempster's rule of combination does not build a coherent bpa with respect to the interpretation. Next we give a new combination function that overcomes this problems and study some of its properties. 0. Introduction One ...

Success in extracting biological relationships is mainly dependent on the complexity of the task as well as the availability of high-quality training data. Here, we describe the new corpora in the systems biology modeling language BEL for training and testing biological relationship extraction systems that we prepared for the BioCreative V BEL track. BEL was designed to capture relationships no...

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) exists as two distinct viruses, type 1 (PRRSV-1) and type 2 (PRRSV-2). Atrophy of the thymus in PRRSV-2 infected piglets has been associated with a loss of thymocytes. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of PRRSV-1 strains of differing virulence on the thymus of infected piglets by analysing the histomorphometry, the presenc...
