Dengue virus (DV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that causes haemorrhagic fever in humans. DV primarily targets immature dendritic cells (DCs) after a bite by an infected mosquito vector. Here, we analysed the interactions between DV and human-monocyte-derived DCs at the level of virus entry. We show that the DC-specific ICAM3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) molecule, a cell-surface, mannose-sp...

BACKGROUND Domestic violence (DV) is prevalent but often unrecognized, and it is a challenge to teach. This article presents an evidence-based DV education program for medical residents and incorporates it into a women's medicine curriculum. DESCRIPTION An initial 3-hr seminar included video and case discussion, literature review, and role play. Participants then actively screened patients fo...

This study examined whether maternal functioning mediated the relationship between domestic violence (DV) and infant externalizing behavior. Participants were 203 mother-infant dyads. Support was found for a partially mediated model in which maternal functioning mediated the relationship between current DV and infant externalizing behaviors. Past DV was directly associated with infants' externa...

DV-Hop localization algorithm is a range free localization algorithm in WSN (Wireless Sensor Network). In recent years, the research on range-free localization algorithm is one of the hot issue in WSN. DV-Hop algorithm is a simple, convenient operation, high efficiency and low energy consumption. But the the localization accuracy is low. In this paper, we study the traditional DV-Hop localizat...

Dengue viruses (DVs) are responsible for the most medically relevant arboviral diseases. However, the molecular interactions mediating DV entry are poorly understood. We determined that TIM and TAM proteins, two receptor families that mediate the phosphatidylserine (PtdSer)-dependent phagocytic removal of apoptotic cells, serve as DV entry factors. Cells poorly susceptible to DV are robustly in...

This paper attempts to give the solution for the urban scenario using DV cast protocol. Normally DV cast protocol is the best solution for highway traffic. But this paper proposed urban dv cast (UDV) protocol to deal with the urban traffic. This UDV protocol is extension of DV cast protocol. Our aim is to address the urban scenario where vehicles are equipped with sensors or wireless devices to...

Epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs) function as professional antigen-presenting cells of the skin. We investigated the LC-targeting properties of a special mannose-moiety-coated pathogen-like synthetic nanomedicine DermaVir (DV), which is capable to express antigens to induce immune responses and kill HIV-infected cells. Our aim was to use multiphoton laser microscopy (MLM) in vivo in order to vis...

Let ii be a bounded symmetric domain in C with normalized 2 volume measure dV . Let P be the orthogonal projection from L (il, dV) 2 2 onto the Bergman space La(Q) of holomorphic functions in L (ii, dV). Let P be the orthogonal projection from L (ii, dV) onto the closed subspace of antiholomorphic functions in L (ii, dV). The "little" Hankel operator h, with symbol / is the operator from La(Ci)...

In this paper, we discuss a design of a real-time DV (Digital Video) streaming system, which dynamically adjusts packet transmission rate from the source host according to feedback information from the network. In our DV streaming system, the destination host continuously notifies the source host of network status (e.g., the end-to-end packet transmission delay and the packet loss probability i...

Ductus venosus (DV) is a tiny vessel with a central role in fetal circulation both in singletons and multiples. In the present review we detail the contribution of DV evaluation in twin pregnancies in the first trimeter of pregnancy. The higher prevalence of abnormal A-wave in fetuses with abnormal karyotype and/or cardiac defects made DV evaluation a useful marker for the screening of chromoso...
