Because of the high volume and unpredictability arrival of data streams, stream processing systems may not always be able to keep up with the input — resulting in buffer overflow and uncontrolled loss of data. Load shedding, the prevalent strategy for solving this overflow problem, has todate been considered for relational stream engines. On the other hand face additional challenges and opportu...

The characteristic viral cytopathic effects of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in anorectal cytology specimens are rarely encountered. When present, if clinically asymptomatic, this could represent subclinical shedding of the HSV. Men who have sex with men (MSM) have especially higher rates of shedding HSV than the general population [1,2]. HSV-2-seropositive MSM has more frequent subclinical HSV-2 ...

Sequential analysis of human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) shedding in saliva obtained from healthy adults was performed for 6 months; virus was isolated in 92 (34.1%) of the 270 saliva samples obtained. Frequency of HHV-7 shedding in serially obtained saliva samples varied among subjects. Associations between frequency of HHV-7 shedding and age, sex, and virus antibody titer were analyzed, and, althou...

Although studies on the control of photoperiod-related shedding by rod photoreceptors in frogs suggested that the mechanisms which initiate shedding are intrinsic features of the eye, attempts to observe light-evoked shedding in opened eye cups in balanced salt solutions have been unsuccessful. We have examined disc shedding in eye cups kept in a complex tissue culture medium. Eye cups were pre...

Energy is one of the basic requirements in modern civilization, without which various indispensable applications will bind to bring to a standstill. It is really not possible to measure the actual enormity of the function that energy has accomplished in connection with human advancement. As energy plays such a significant role in our day-to-day life, hence we should confer a precedence to accum...

Background & Aims: The H9N2 avian influenza subtype is endemic in many parts of Iran and has the ability to transmit from bird to human. In the present study, the risk of this subtype for humans was assessed by determination of the viral titer and shedding time in bird. Method: The experiment was done on fifteen male budgerigars at 4 months of age. The birds w...

Matrix metalloproteinases release intact syndecan-1 ectodomains from the cell surface giving rise to a soluble, shed form of the proteoglycan. Although it is known that shed syndecan-1 controls diverse pathophysiological responses in cancer, wound healing, inflammation, infection, and immunity, the mechanisms regulating shedding remain unclear. We have discovered that the heparan sulfate chains...

Photoreceptors of the Limulus lateral eye shed their light-sensitive membranes (rhabdoms) in a burst early each morning when the animal is maintained in natural lighting. This shedding burst produces a cloud of multivesicular bodies which coalesce and migrate away from the rhabdom. Within 24 hr, these gradually collapse to combination bodies and ultimately to lamellar bodies. Light initiates th...
