The capsid proteins VP2 and VP3 of infectious bursal disease virus, a birnavirus, are derived from the processing of a large polyprotein: NH2-pVP2-VP4-VP3-COOH. Although the primary cleavage sites at the pVP2-VP4 and VP4-VP3 junctions have been identified, the proteolytic cascade involved in the processing of this polyprotein is not yet fully understood, particularly the maturation of pVP2. By ...

tuberculosis is a serious global public health problem and its high prevalence is stron gly associated with the enhancement of drug resistance. in this study we demonstrate a multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (mas)-pcr assay to simultaneously detect mutations in the first and third bases of the embb gene codon 306 atg in ethambutol (emb) resistant isolates of mycobacterium tub...

Example 1. Digit data (Slide 2:) Here is an example taken from the textbook. This set of hand written digital images contains 130 threes, and each three is a 16 × 16 greyscale image. Hence we may represent each datapoint as a vector of 256 greyscale pixels. (Slide 3:) The figure on the left shows the first two principal components of these images. The rectangular grid is computed by selected qu...

Abslracf-TES (hmsform-expand-sample) is a versatile class of stationary stochastic proeeesea which can model arbitrary marginnls, a wide variety of autocorreLtion funcths, and a brod range of sample path behaviors. TES parameters are of two weds: the 6rst kind is used for the exact fitting of the empirical distributiom &Wog”), while the second kind is used for appmximafhg the empirical antm”lat...
