Vaccinia virus early gene transcription termination requires the virion form of the viral RNA polymerase (vRNAP), Nucleoside Triphosphate Phosphohydrolase I (NPHI), ATP, the vaccinia termination factor (VTF), and a U5NU termination signal in the nascent transcript. VTF, also the viral mRNA capping enzyme, binds U5NU, and NPHI hydrolyzes ATP to release the transcript. NPHI can release transcript...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Behavior problems are common in nursing homes. Current guidelines recommend nonpharmacological interventions (NPHIs) as first-line treatment, but pharmacological regimens (PIs) continue to be used. Given differences in background and training of those who treat behavior problems in residents, we compared attitudes of physicians (MDs), psychologists (PhDs), and nurse practit...

our NPHI creation effort started in earnest. We are particularly grateful to the staff of FIOCRUZ, the NPHI in Brazil, and part of a sub-network of Portuguese-speaking NPHIs, for their assistance. the support of the Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical of Portugal, the Centro de Medicina Tropical has been created and inaugurated by the President of Guinea Bissau and the Prime Minister of Po...

will include mechanisms for swift and clear communication between the members, joint training activities, collaborative research projects, and mutual assistance on a wide variety of public health issues such as surveillance and outbreak investigation. In an increasingly globalized world, international collaboration between NPHIs is vital for success in any country and for global public health. ...

The framework of the newly revised International Health Regulations is a key driver in the effort to strengthen global public health security. Unanimously agreed upon by the World Health Assembly on May 23, 2005, the regulations are the result of experience gained and lessons learned during the past 30 years. This global legal framework includes a commitment from the World Health Organization (...

Fuzzy logic (FL) and neural network (NNs) methods are commonly applied in a variety of areas the petroleum industry. The area hydrocarbon exploration has seen greatest advancement soft-computing technologies including FL, NNs. In this study, FL NNs have been to log data from Chanda Oil Field, northwest Pakistan, for porosity (PHIT) prediction. input dataset study included four known logs, gamma...

Estimation of reservoir water saturation (Sw) is one of the main tasks in well logging. Many empirical equations are available, which are, more or less, based on Archie equation. The present study is an application of Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) modeling for estimation of water saturation responses in a carbonate reservoir. Four conventional petrophysical logs (PLs) including D...
