A variety of vaccine platforms are under study for development of new vaccines for measles. Problems with past measles vaccines are incompletely understood and underscore the need to understand the types of immune responses induced by different types of vaccines. Detailed immune response evaluation is most easily performed in mice. Although mice are not susceptible to infection with wild type o...

The experiments described were designed to provide information on the infectivity of Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus for birds by the respiratory route. Laboratory studies by Chamberlain (2) showed that wild birds, including pigeons, could be infected with VEE virus by mosquito bite or by subcutaneous (sc) injection of virus. Overt signs of disease were absent in avian hosts, but vir...

Abstract We develop a scheme to construct the Hamiltonians of the lambda, vee and cascade type of three-level configurations using the generators of SU(3) group. It turns out that this approach provides a well defined selection rule to give different Hamitonians for each configurations. The lambda and vee type configurations are exactly solved with different initial conditions while taking the ...

Effect of adjuvants on antibody response of rabbits inoculated with Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus. J. Bacteriol. 85:1150-1155. 1963.-Hemagglutination-inhibition, neutralization, and complement-fixation tests were performed on sera of rabbits inoculated with Venezuelan equine e...

We present projective Landau-Ginzburg models for the exceptional cominuscule homogeneous spaces $\mathbb{OP}^2 = E_6^\mathrm{sc}/P_6$ and $E_7^\mathrm{sc}/P_7$, known respectively as Cayley plane Freudenthal variety. These are defined on complement $X^\vee_\mathrm{can}$ of an anti-canonical divisor "Langlands dual spaces" $\mathbb{X}^\vee P^\vee\backslash G^\vee$ in terms generalized Pl\"ucker ...

Exposure of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus (at -70 C) to 6 x 106 r y-radiation (6WCo) resulted in loss of lethality for young adult mice and guinea pigs, and loss of capacity to produce plaques or cyLopathic effects in tissue culture. The suckling mouse was more sensitive for detecting live virus in radiated suspensions than was the adult mouse or guinea pig. Live virus was dem...

Current systems and architectures in the domains of distributed and embedded computing are complex, respond badly to many application needs, and are not easily specialisable to better support a given application or host platform. This leads to a proliferation of non-reusable ad-hoc solutions. Our goal is to develop a exible, object-oriented virtual execution environment (VEE), dynamically speci...

Mesenteronal infection and transmission thresholds for several Middle American epizootic and enzootic Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) viruses were evaluated in field-collected (Guatemala) and colonized individuals of the enzootic vector mosquito Culex (Melanoconion) taeniopus. Approximate thresholds for 3 epizootic, hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) subtype I-AB strains were 10 chick e...

For a connected reductive group $G$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and equipped with the induced Frobenius endomorphism $F$, we study relation among following three $\mathbb{Z}$-algebras: (i) $\mathbb{Z}$-model $\mathsf{E}_G$ of algebras Gelfand-Graev representations $G^F$; (ii) Grothendieck $\mathsf{K}_{G^\ast}$ category $G^{\ast F^\ast}$ $\overline{\mathbb{F}_q}$ (Deligne-Lusztig dual side); (ii...
