BACKGROUND Asymmetric medullary veins (AMV) are frequently observed in stroke patients and single-echo susceptibility weighted imaging (SWIs) is the main technique in detecting AMV. Our study aimed to investigate which echo time (TE) on single-echo susceptibility is the optimal echo for visualizing AMV and to compare the ability in detecting AMV in stroke patients between SWIs and multi-echo su...

Abstract Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV) modulates El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) dynamics. Here, we explore the effect of warm (AMV+) and cold (AMV-) AMV conditions on austral summer teleconnection ENSO to Australia using idealized simulations performed with NCAR-CESM1 model. AMV+ strengthens mean extreme precipitation temperature responses Niño in south-western weakens impacts no...

The three plus-strand genomic RNAs of Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) and the subgenomic messenger for viral coat protein (CP) contain a 5'-cap structure, but no 3'-poly(A) tail. Binding of CP to the 3' end of AMV RNAs is required for efficient translation of the viral RNAs and to initiate infection in plant cells. To study the role of CP in translation, plant protoplasts were transfected with lucif...

In this paper we describe a control and management architecture for an ATM-based Multipoint Videoconferecning (AMV) system. The service specification of the AMV system defines control functions that emulate human interactions, management functions that manage the videoconference and improve the service availability, and a web-based interface for easy control and management of the videoconferenc...

Microvilli isolated from 13762 mammary ascites tumor cells contain a major calcium-sensitive protein (AMV-p35) that can be isolated with microvillar microfilament cores prepared by Triton X-100 extraction in the presence but not absence of calcium. AMV-p35 can be readily purified from ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid extracts of the microfilament cores by ch...
