Abstract In this paper, we introduce the concepts of $$(\in ,\in \vee (\kappa ^*,q_\kappa ))$$ ( ∈ , ∨ κ ∗ q ) -fuzzy left...

We consider Einstein hypersurfaces of warped products $$I\times _\omega {\mathbb {Q}}_\epsilon ^n,$$ where $$I\subset {R}}$$ is an open interval and $${\mathbb ^n$$ the simply connected space form dimension $$n\ge 2$$ constant sectional curvature $$\epsilon \in \{-1,0,1\}$$ . show that, for all $$c\in (resp. $$c>0$$ ), there exist rotational c in {H}}^n$$ {R}}^n$$ {S}}^n$$ provided that $$\omeg...

Ten horses (Equus caballus) were vaccinated with strain TC-83 Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus vaccine. Febrile responses and leukopenia due to a reduction of lymphocytes and neutrophils were observed in all animals. Viremias were demonstrable in eight horses, with a maximum of 10(3.5) median tissue culture infectious dose units per ml of serum in two horses. Clinical illness wit...

BACKGROUND The Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus replicon system was used to produce virus-like replicon particles (VRP) packaged with a number of different VEE-derived glycoprotein (GP) coats. The GP coat is believed to be responsible for the cellular tropism noted for VRP and it is possible that different VEE GP coats may have different affinities for cells. We examined VRP packaged ...

Let Γ ⊂ Q ¯ × $\Gamma \subset \overline{\mathbb {Q}}^{\times }$ be a finitely generated multiplicative group of algebraic numbers. α 1 , … r ∈ $\alpha _1,\ldots ,\alpha _r\in {Q}}^\times$ numbers which are $\mathbb {Q}$ -linearly independent and let ε > 0 $\epsilon >0$ given real number. One the main results that we prove in this article is as follows: There exist only many tuples ( u q p ) Z +...

Specific and sensitive reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) assays were developed for the detection of eastern, western, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses (EEE, WEE, and VEE, respectively). Tests for specificity included all known alphavirus species. The EEE-specific RT-PCR amplified a 464-bp region of the E2 gene exclusively from 10 different EEE strains from South and North America wit...

Experimental studies were undertaken to compare the vector competence of Culex (Melanoconion) taeniopus Dyar and Knab, Culex (Melanoconion) ocossa Dyar and Knab, and Psorophora confinnis (Lynch Arribalzalga) from Central America for epizootic (IAB) and enzootic (IE) strains of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus. Virus infection and dissemination rates were significantly higher in Cx. ta...

Given a set P of points in the plane, a set of points Q is a weak ε-net with respect to a family of sets S (e.g., rectangles, disks, or convex sets) if every set of S containing ε|P | points contains a point of Q. In this paper, we determine bounds on εi , the Preprint submitted to Elsevier Science 10 February 2008 smallest epsilon that can be guaranteed for any P when |Q| = i, for small values...

Let $\Sigma$ be a finite type surface, and $G$ complex algebraic simple Lie group with algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. The quantum moduli of $(\Sigma,G)$ is quantization the ring functions $X_G(\Sigma)$, variety $G$-characters $\pi_1(\Sigma)$, introduced by Alekseev-Grosse-Schomerus Buffenoir-Roche in mid '90s. It can realized as invariant subalgebra so-called graph algebras, which are $U_q(\mathfrak{g...
