The Brucella AMOS PCR assay was previously developed to identify and differentiate specific Brucella species. In this study, an abbreviated Brucella AMOS PCR test was evaluated to determine its accuracy in differentiating Brucella abortus into three categories: field strains, vaccine strain 19 (S19), and vaccine strain RB51/parent strain 2308 (S2308). Two hundred thirty-one isolates were identi...

An overview is given of a light weight Object Oriented OO multi database system named AMOS II Object Oriented multi database queries and views can be de ned where external data sources of di erent kinds are translated through AMOS II and integrated through its OOmediation primitives Through its multi database facilities many distributed AMOS II systems can inter operate Since most data reside i...

Amos II is a mediator system developed at the database department of Uppsala University. It provides the Query Language AmosQL, which is an object oriented expansion of SQL. ISO-MPEG Audio Layer-3 files (also known as MP3) contain music. One wants to treat an MP3 file as a source of data and analyze its content. To query an MP3 file via Amos II, one has to wrap the MP3 files to get access to th...

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a Java-to-Javascript compiler, that allows to greatly simplify development of interactive web applications. Amos II (Active Mediator Object System) is an object-relational mediator database system that allows queries and views over different kinds of back-end data sources and also provides own main-memory database servers. The purpose of this work is to create a simp...

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of country-of-origin image, consumer ethnocentrism and animosity on the purchase of domestic and foreign products in China. AMOS software was used to analyze the data from the questionnaire survey. The results indicate that the effects of consumer ethnocentrism are significant in the case of domestic and foreign products in China, and the hypo...

In a variety of organisms, early neurogenesis requires the function of basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors. For the Drosophila PNS, such transcription factors are encoded by the proneural genes (atonal and the achaete-scute complex, AS-C). We have identified a proneural gene, amos, that has strong similarity with atonal in its bHLH domain. We present evidence that amos is requir...

Anti-microRNA oligonucleotides (AMOs) are steric blocking antisense reagents that inhibit microRNA (miRNA) function by hybridizing and repressing the activity of a mature miRNA. First generation AMOs employed 2'-O-Methyl RNA nucleotides (2'OMe) with phosphorothioate (PS) internucleotide linkages positioned at both ends to block exonuclease attack. Second generation AMOs improved potency through...

Amos II (Active Mediator Object System) is a distributed mediator system that uses a functional data model and has a relationally complete functional query language, AmosQL. Through its distributed multi-database facilities many autonomous and distributed Amos II peers can interoperate. Functional multi-database queries and views can be defined where external data sources of different kinds are...
