A recombinant hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (rHN) protein from Newcastle disease virus (NDV) with hemagglutination (HA) activity was expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda cells using a baculovirus expression system. The rHN protein extracted from infected cells was used as an antigen in a hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test for the detection and titration of NDV-specific antibodies present in chic...

Despite several data on influenza infection in dogs, the first natural outbreak of canine influenza virus, closely related to H3N8 equine subtype, dates back to 2004 in Florida. Subsequent studies highlighted the role of dogs in adaptation of H5N1 to mammals and the susceptibility of dogs to different subtypes of influenza. A prevalence study was carried out on 562 sera collected from pet and k...

We show how security type systems from the literature of languagebased noninterference can be represented more directly as predicates defined by structural recursion on the programs. In this context, we show how our uniform syntactic criteria from [7,8] cover several previous type-system soundness results. 1 Security type systems As in Example 2 from [7, 8], we assume that atomic statements and...

BACKGROUND Hyperactive/Inattentive preschool children show clear evidence of neuropsychological dysfunction. We examined whether patterns and severity of test scores could reliably identify subgroups of preschoolers with differential risk for ADHD during school-age. METHOD Typically developing (TD: n = 76) and Hyperactive/Inattentive (HI: n = 138) 3-4 year olds were assessed annually for 6 ye...

S1. Power-grid data. The data required for power flow calculations were obtained as follows. For the 10-generator system, known as the New England test system, the parameters were taken from ref. 47. For the 3and 50-generator systems, the parameters were taken from refs. 30 and 48, respectively. The data for the Guatemala and Northern Italy systems were provided by F. Milano (University of Cast...

We test whether there is a relation between the observed tidal interactions and Seyfert activity by imaging in HI twenty inactive galaxies at the same spatial resolution and detection threshold as the Seyfert sample. This control sample of inactive galaxies were closely matched in Hubble type, range in size and inclination, and have roughly comparable galaxy optical luminosity to the Seyfert ga...

We develop a machine learning based algorithm using convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify low HI column density Ly$\alpha$ absorption systems ($\log{N_{\mathrm{HI}}}/{\rm cm}^{-2}<17$) in the forest, and predict their physical properties, such as ($\log{N}_{\mathrm{HI}}/{\rm cm}^{-2}$), redshift ($z_{\mathrm{HI}}$), Doppler width ($b_{\mathrm{HI}}$). Our CNN models are trained simulate...

Background and Objectives. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and idiopathic hirsutism (HI) are the two most common causes of hirsutism. Insulin resistance plays a key role in PCOS, but there are not enough data showing that patients with HI also have insulin resistance. This study was designed to evaluate the presence of insulin resistance in women with HI. Methods. Based on a cross-sectional st...

AIM The efficacy and safety of insulin aspart (IAsp), a rapid-acting human insulin analogue, were compared with regular human insulin (HI) as the bolus component of basal-bolus therapy for subjects with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS In a randomized, parallel-group, open-labelled trial, 27 women with GDM (age 30.7 +/- 6.3 years, HbA(1c) < 7%) were randomized to receive IAsp (5 m...
