OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess for the first time the criterion validity of the semi-structured Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in adults (DIVA 2.0), and its concurrent validity in comparison with the Conners' Adult ADHD Diagnostic Interview for DSM-IV (CAADID) and other ADHD severity scales, following the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; DSM-IV) crit...

Across the developing world peste des petits ruminants virus places a huge disease burden on agriculture, primarily affecting the production of small ruminant. The disease is most effectively controlled by vaccinating sheep and goats with live attenuated vaccines that provide lifelong immunity. However, the current vaccines and serological tests are unable to enable Differentiation between natu...

Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV; genus Phlebovirus, family Bunyaviridae) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic pathogen which can cause hemorrhagic fever, neurological disorders or blindness in humans, and a high rate of abortion in ruminants. MP-12 strain, a live-attenuated candidate vaccine, is attenuated in the M- and L-segments, but the S-segment retains the virulent phenotype. MP-12 was manufactured ...

Mobile group II introns encode proteins that have reverse transcriptase and maturase activities and bind specifically to the intron RNA to promote both RNA splicing and intron mobility. Previous studies with the Lactococcus lactis Ll.LtrB intron showed that the intron-encoded protein (LtrA) has a high-affinity binding site in intron subdomain DIVa, an idiosyncratic structure containing the tran...

Integrating processors and main memory is a promising approach to increase system performance. Such integration provides very high memory bandwidth that can be exploited efficiently by vector operations. However, traditional vector applications would easily overflow the limited memory of a single integrated node. To accommodate such workloads, we propose the DIstributed Vector Architecture (DIV...

Processing-in-memory (PIM) chips that integrate processor logic into memory devices offer a new opportunity for bridging the growing gap between processor and memory speeds, especially for applications with high memory-bandwidth requirements. The Data-IntensiVe Architecture (DIVA) system combines PIM memories with one or more external host processors and a PIM-to-PIM interconnect. DIVA increase...

Contemporary multimedia, scientific and medical applications use indexing structures to access their highdimensional data. Yet, in sufficiently high-dimensional spaces, conventional tree-based access methods are eventually outperformed by simple serial scans. Vector quantization has been effectively used to index data that are mostly distributed uniformly. However, in real-world applications, c...

OBJECTIVE ADHD is common in patients with alcohol dependence, but prevalence results are inconsistent. We investigated ADHD prevalence in a complex design to avoid over- or underdiagnosing. METHOD Patients with alcohol dependence starting long-term residential treatment were included. A structured interview (Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults [DIVA]) was conducted on all patients. DIVA r...

One of the objectives of the DiVA project is to explore the possibility of using XML as a format for long-term preservation. For this reason, the practical use of XML in different parts of the SYSTEM was evaluated before deciding on the design. The DiVA Document Format defined by an XML schema has been developed to describe the inter-relationships amongst the various data elements and processes...
