Heart and Skeletal Muscle Inflammation (HSMI), recently associated with a novel Atlantic salmon reovirus (ASRV), is currently one of the most prevalent inflammatory diseases in commercial Atlantic salmon farms in Norway. Mortality varies from low to 20%, but morbidity can be very high, reducing growth performance and causing considerable financial impact. Clinical symptoms, including myocarditi...

This Recommendation specifies three methods for format-preserving encryption, called FF1, FF2, and FF3. Each of these methods is a mode of operation of the AES algorithm, which is used to construct a round function within the Feistel structure for encryption.

This self-contained paper is part of a series [FF1, FF2] seeking to understand groups of homeomorphisms of manifolds in analogy with the theory of Lie groups and their discrete subgroups. Plante-Thurston proved that every nilpotent subgroup of Diff(S) is abelian. One of our main results is a sharp converse: Diff(S) contains every finitely-generated, torsion-free nilpotent group.

This study examined the growth response of yellowfin seabream, Acanthopagrus arabicus, reared in floating net cage fed at variable daily feeding frequencies. Thirty healthy fish (49.7±0.3 g initial weight) were stocked in each of the 12 net cages (1.5×1.5×1.5m). Three cages in each group were assigned to four different feeding frequency i.e., two, three, four and six times/day designated as FF1...

Seventy-five bacterial contaminants which still persisted to cleaning system from three puff pastry production lines (dough forming, layer and filling forming, and shock freezing) were identified using 16S rDNA as seven genera of Bacillus, Corynebacterium, Dermacoccus, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, and Staphylococcus with detection frequencies of 24.00, 2.66, 1.33, 37.33, 1.33, 2.66, a...

OBJECTIVES To examine the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the C-Compassion Fatigue (CF)-Short Scale among 4 independent samples of Chinese emergency workers (medical workers and firefighters). DESIGN Cross-sectional. SETTING 6 hospitals in Zhejiang Province and 12 fire stations in Shanghai. PARTICIPANTS Emergency workers (medical and firefighters) were consecutively recr...

This self-contained paper is part of a series [FF1] seeking to understand groups of homeomorphisms of manifolds in analogy with the theory of Lie groups and their discrete subgroups. In this paper we consider groups which act on R with restrictions on the fixed point set of each element. One result is a topological characterization of affine groups in Diff(R) as those groups whose elements have...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of synthetic fibronectin (FN) fragments, including fibrin binding sites from amino-terminal FN fragments containing type I repeats 1 to 5, on osteoblast-like cell activity. METHODS Oligopeptides ranging from 9 to 20 amino acids, designated FF1, FF3, and FF5, were synthesized by a solid-phase peptide synthesizing system, and we inves...

The lateral tuberal nucleus (LTN) is a hypothalamic region that has been identified with certainty only in humans and primates. It is composed of three small round globular units which protrude the basal surface of the brain along the optic tract. The function of the LTN is unknown. Recently, a tiny, parvalbumin-positive (PV1) nucleus was detected in the lateral hypothalamus of rodents. Like th...
