the objective of this study was to estimate variance components, genetic and phenotypic trends for somatic cell score. dataset that collected by the animal breeding center of iran was used in this study. data file included 850,729 test day records of somatic cell counts (scc)  on 32,955 cows from lactations one to four, in 472 herds, gathered from years 2002 to 2013 in iran. a test day repeatab...

In this experiment, rotational spectra are collected using a microwave spectrometer. Initially, the structure of a linear molecule OCS is determined by measuring the frequency of the zero-field J = 2 ←1 transition for isotopically-substituted OCS molecules. In the second part of the experiment, the the dipole moment of NH3 is determined from the frequencies of the (3,3) NH3 inversion when diffe...

Motivation: Owing to its importance in both basic research (such as molecular evolution and protein attribute prediction) and practical application (such as timely modeling the 3D structures of proteins targeted for drug development), protein remote homology detection has attracted a great deal of interest. It is intriguing to note that the profilebased approach is promising and holds high pote...

Genetic changes that help explain the differences between two individuals might create or disrupt sites complementary to microRNAs (miRNAs)1,2, but the extent to which such polymorphic sites influence miRNA-mediated repression is unknown. Here, we describe a method to measure mRNA allelic imbalances associated with a regulatory site found in mRNA transcribed from one allele but not found in tha...

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a childhood-onset syndrome characterized by the presence and persistence of motor and vocal tics. A dysfunction of cortico-striato-pallido-thalamo-cortical networks in this syndrome has been supported by convergent data from neuro-pathological, electrophysiological as well as structural and functional neuroimaging studies. Here, we addressed the question of str...

Purpose: To study the experiences of adults who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems and methods when interacting with medical providers, specifically primary care providers. Method: Individual face-to-face interviews were conducted with 12 participants, four of whom also participated in an online focus group. Diagnoses of the participants included cerebral palsy, undiff...

Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) is a Pestivirus of the Flaviviviridaefamily that infects cattle, and its widespread distribution can cause substantial economic losses worldwide. The aims of this study were: (1) to estimate the prevalence of animals persistently infected (PI) with BVDV in industrial dairy cattle herds in suburb of Mashhad- Iran; and (2) to compare the occurrence of persistent...
