Poorly visualized business reports may lead to wrong decisions caused by incomprehensible or misleading data. However, many companies still do not strive for adequate business information visualization (BIV), which may be due to a lack of knowledge about how to achieve it. To support managers in avoiding the pitfalls of incomprehensible reports, we are currently developing a serious game that h...

bovine immunodeficiency virus is a lentivirus which can cause varieties of infectious complications and induce remarkable losses to dairy industry. considering to the probability of worldwide distribution of the biv infection, this study was conducted for the first time in iran to determine of the status of biv infection in the holstein cattle and evaluate the associated findings. according to ...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Pacemaker syndrome was mainly described as the sequel of atrioventricular (AV) dyssynchrony. The role of interventricular (VV) dyssynchrony has not been studied yet. The aims of this study were to noninvasively assess the hemodynamic effects of different ventricular pacing sites with and without AV and VV dyssynchrony and to observe the patients for clinical symptoms of th...

Pucherite, BiV04, from Schneeberg, Saxony, is orthorhombic, space group Pnca, with a=5.328(2), b=5.052(2), c=12.003(3)A at 291 K, 2=4, Dx = 6.69 g em -3. The crystal structure of pucherite has been refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data to Rw = 0.020 for 221 unique reflections measured with AgKrx radiation. The structure consists of V04 tetrahedra and BiOs triangulated dodecahedra. ...

A 17-amino acid arginine-rich peptide from the bovine immunodeficiency virus Tat protein has been shown to bind with high affinity and specificity to bovine immunodeficiency virus transactivation response element (TAR) RNA, making contacts in the RNA major groove near a bulge. We show that, as in other peptide-RNA complexes, arginine and threonine side chains make important contributions to bin...

BACKGROUND Simple conceptual ideas about cardiac resynchronization therapy assume that biventricular (BiV) pacing results in collision of right and left ventricular (LV) pacing-derived wavefronts. However, this concept is contradicted by the minor reduction in QRS duration usually observed. We investigated the electric mechanisms of cardiac resynchronization therapy by performing detailed elect...

The Tat protein of bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) binds to its target RNA, TAR, and activates transcription. A 14-amino acid arginine-rich peptide corresponding to the RNA-binding domain of BIV Tat binds specifically to BIV TAR, and biochemical and in vivo experiments have identified the amino acids and nucleotides required for binding. The solution structure of the RNA-peptide complex has...

The bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) Tat protein binds with high affinity to its TAR RNA site through a large set of specific RNA-protein contacts whereas human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Tat makes relatively few contacts to HIV TAR and requires the assistance of a cellular protein to bind with high affinity. The two TAR sites are structurally very similar, but BIV Tat appears unable to ma...
