Fifty-six strains of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, isolated from ticks and vertebrate animals in Missouri, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Texas, were identified and characterized by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of rrf (5S)-rrl (23S) intergenic spacer amplicons. A total of 241 to 258 bp of intergenic spacers between tandemly duplicated rrf (5S) and rrl (...

Many types of variation can be found in agrammatic aphasia. Drai and Grodzinsky (in press) presented a convincing account for variations between syntactic structures, between individuals and across languages. However, there is one source of variation that is not accounted for by their approach: the variation that exists within individuals with agrammatism between different structures that are d...

Synthetic medical image generation has a huge potential for improving healthcare through many applications, from data augmentation training machine learning systems to preserving patient privacy. Conditional Adversarial Generative Networks (cGANs) use conditioning factor generate images and have shown great success in recent years. Intuitively, the information an can be divided into two parts: ...

Sequence variations in the human 2 adrenergic receptor genes (ADRA2A and ADRA2C) have been implicated as a cause of hypertension in blacks. Although certain alleles are selectively enriched in blacks, their association with hypertension is based on small convenience samples and has not been evaluated in larger populations. From a stratified random population sample of 3398 individuals (52% blac...

The yeast flora associated with healthy and Botrytis-infected grapes was assessed. Molecular identification methods assigned isolates to six genera and nine species. For the first time Hanseniaspora opuntiae was encountered as an inhabitant of the grape ecosystem. By using DraI, an informative restriction fragment length polymorphism pattern was generated to distinguish H. opuntiae from the clo...

We analyze the comprehension data in Broca's aphasia, pooled together by Berndt, Mitchum, and Haendinges (1996). We show that once analyzed properly, these data have statistical structure that is very similar to that revealed by the analysis in Grodzinsky, Pinango, Zurif, and Drai (1999). The suggestion that the latter authors doctored the data to obtain a desired outcome is as false as the cla...

background mycobacterium tuberculosis genotyping can effectively improve tuberculosis (tb) control programs by controlling disease transmission. pulsed field gel electrophoresis (pfge) is a particularly powerful tool for determination of clonal identity of bacteria providing information for understanding and controlling the spread of disease. objectives the aim of present study was to investiga...

Grodzinsky, Piñango, Zurif, and Drai (1999) argue that a statistical analysis of pooled sentence comprehension data from published studies of Broca's aphasic patients supports the dominance of a differential pattern of performance on active and passive voice structures. They argue that these results counter a previous study in which individual patient data from published studies were analyzed. ...

Авторами работы проведено генотипирование коров голштинской породы по локусу гена GDF9 в количестве 120 голов методом полимеразной цепной реакции. У исследуемых животных выявлен генетический полиморфизм и были идентифицированы три генетических варианта: AA, AT TT, распространенность которых составила 20,0%, 10,0% 70,0%, соответственно. Отмечается избыточная встречаемость гомозиготного генотипа ...
