BACKGROUND Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often persists into adulthood. This study was designed to estimate the prevalence of ADHD in adult psychiatric outpatients in several European countries. METHOD ADHD diagnosis was made using the Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults, version 2.0 (DIVA), according to criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorde...

The option of vaccinating poultry against avian influenza (AI) as a control tool is gaining greater acceptance by governments and the poultry industry worldwide. One disadvantage about vaccination with killed whole-virus vaccines is the resulting inability to use common serologic diagnostic tests for surveillance to identify infected flocks. There has been considerable effort to develop a relia...

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...

The aim of the study investigates molecular diagnosis between (the Avian encephalomyelitis virus and Newcastle disease differentiating infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA) strategies. 1st detection by RT-PCR for(PMV-1) as primary then, samples were prepared in FTA card Whatman® sent to (AniCon Labs) Germany detect one step (DIVA technique) NDV AEV genotype. result investigation revealed thre...

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...
