during 2009-10, real time rt-pcr and conventional rt-pcr techniques used for detecting btvs rna in 310 blood samples. for real time and gel based rt-pcr segment-1 and segment-10 selected as conserve genes to search any btv strains. using these methods, 58 (%18.7) and 14 (%4.5) positive samples were detected among the clinically suspected sheep. sensitivity of both molecular techniques evalua...

MicroRNA (miRNA) detection by reverse transcription (RT) quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is the most popular method currently used to measure miRNA expression. Although the majority of miRNA families are constituted of several 3'-end length variants ("isomiRs"), little attention has been paid to their differential detection by RT-qPCR. However, recent evidence indicates that 3'-end miRNA i...

Several technologies, such as electromagnetic midsagittal articulography (EMA) or real-time magnetic resonance (RTMRI), enable studying the static and dynamic aspects of speech production. The resulting knowledge can, in turn, inform the improvement of speech production models, e.g., for articulatory speech synthesis, by enabling the identification of which articulators and gestures are involve...

This paper considers inventory models with advance demand information and flexible delivery. Customers place their orders in advance, and delivery is flexible in the sense that early shipment is allowed. Specifically, an order placed at time t by a customer with demand leadtime T should be fulfilled by period t+T ; failure to fulfill it within the time window [t, t+T ] is penalized. We consider...

abstract background and objective: highly active antiretroviral therapy (haart) can effectively prevent the progression of hiv-1 replication and increase life expectancy. there are numerous causes of treatment failure and the leading one is drug resistance. thus, we aimed to determine the hiv rt gene drug resistance mutations in patients treated with antiretroviral medications. material and met...

This paper presents an improvement of the Bandwidth Inheritance Protocol (BWI), the natural extension of the well-known Priority Inheritance Protocol (PIP) to resource reservation schedulers. The modified protocol allows for a better management of nested critical section, removes unneeded overheads in the management of task block and unblock events, and introduces a run-time deadlock detection ...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether short-time, real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) has long-term salutary glycemic effects in patients with type 2 diabetes who are not on prandial insulin. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a randomized controlled trial of 100 adults with type 2 diabetes who were not on prandial insulin. This study compared the effects of 12 weeks of intermittent R...
