Avibacterium paragallinarum is Gram-negative bacteria that cause infectious coryza (IC), an acute respiratory disease of chickens. Despite vaccination of Layer and breeder farms of Iran against IC, they are still experiencing the disease clinically and there is no knowledge of serotypes prevalence of this bacterium in this country. This study designed to determine serovar identity by molecular ...

Studien undersöker genomförbarheten av ett nytt judoinspirerat träningsprogram för äldre personer, Judo4Balance. Vi utvärderade inför en fullskalig studie genom att följa studieprocess, resurshantering och vetenskapliga aspekter. Ytterligare utfallsmått var fysisk funktion, tilltro till egen förmåga utföra aktiviteter utan falla samt falltekniker. Interventionen bedömdes vara genomförbar, med v...

Swarm robotics provides ways of solving problems using groups of autonomous robots that display emergent intelligent behaviour. Control mechanisms for these robots can be designed by using mechanisms from evolutionary robotics. In order to ensure that the controllers are adaptive and capable of learning new behaviour controllers are artificially evolved using techniques inspired by natural evol...

We investigate the structure of the two permutation classes defined by the sets of forbidden patterns {1234, 2341} and {1243, 2314}. By considering how the Hasse graphs of permutations in these classes can be built from a sequence of rooted source graphs, we determine their algebraic generating functions. Our approach is similar to that of “adding a slice”, used previously to enumerate various ...

This paper describes the UniRo Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Audio Video (AV) stack that was implemented in Java programming language. The UniRo UPnP AV Stack is a software component that can be used to develop AV applications (MediaServer, MediaRenderer, and AV Control Points). The AV interfaces form the core of this component. They provide a typing layer to access AV devices and AV services....

It is hard to find a class of natural language phenomena which exhibits more complex interactions between syntax and semantics than comparative constructions. Comparatives come with phrasal or clausal complements. In this paper, we focus on phrasal comparatives, which on first inspection look simpler than the clausal ones, but in fact add a degree of complexity. We will consider predicative com...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to determine how often atrioventricular (AV) block is really caused by medications. BACKGROUND Beta-blockers, verapamil, and diltiazem are considered a cause of AV block for which pacemaker implantation is not indicated. However, it is not known if such patients can expect a benign course after discontinuation of the culprit medication. METHODS Consecut...

In order to determine the suitability of vaccine strains established in the 1960s for a new vaccine, a comprehensive study of strain variation of adenovirus serotype 4 (AV 4) and AV 7 was undertaken. A 1,500-bp region of the hexon gene containing the AV neutralization epitopes from prototype, vaccine, and community-acquired strains and from wild-type strains from military personnel that cause a...

This audiovisual program consists of 52 slides, a 51-minute tape, and an accompanying booklet. It is designed as a self-instructional experience in which the viewer becomes an active participant by following the booklet as well as the slide tape sequence. Slides 1 to 22 deal effectively with basic radiation physics. Colorful slides and clear basic explanations introduce the viewer to such topic...
