Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and related human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) are major respiratory tract pathogens in calves and infants, respectively. Great a�ention is now paid to prevention of the disease caused by these agents. Glycoprotein G is the most variable viral protein and antigenic grouping of RSV isolates is based on distinct antigenic reactivity pa�erns determin...

Although aviation accidents are rare, safety incidents occur more frequently and require careful analysis for providing actionable recommendations to improve safety. Automatically analyzing safety incidents using ƒight data is challenging because of the absence of labels on timestep-wise events in a ƒight, complexity of multidimensional data, and lack of scalable tools to perform analysis over ...

Epigenetic and microRNA (miRNA) regulation are associated with carcinogenesis and the development of cancer. By using the available omics data, including those from next-generation sequencing (NGS), genome-wide methylation profiling, candidate integrated genetic and epigenetic network (IGEN) analysis, and drug response genome-wide microarray analysis, we constructed an IGEN system based on thre...

This study tested the possibility of an emotion-specific influence on error-related negativity (ERN), a physiological response to error commission. The ERN is thought to reflect an expectancy violation, triggered by negative feedback. Our study tested whether the expectancies underlying the ERN are influenced by the emotional context of the error, and whether anxiety increases sensitivity to co...

As networks are extremely heterogeneous, and application layer requires higher level o f flexibility in network performance and resource allocation, proactive management is beco ming an important research target. Main purpose of proactive management is to detect netw ork performance anomaly before its occurrence and undertake steps to rectify the conditions that lead to the anomaly. Since detec...

Oblivious RAM (ORAM) is a renowned technique to hide the access paŠerns of an application to an untrusted memory. According to the standard ORAM de€nition presented by Goldreich and Ostrovsky, in order for two ORAM access sequences to be computationally indistinguishable, the lengths of these sequences must be identically distributed. An artifact of this de€nition is that it does not apply to m...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease that o‰en results in multiple complications. Risk prediction and pro€ling of T2DM complications is critical for healthcare professionals to design personalized treatment plans for patients in diabetes care for improved outcomes. In this paper, we study the risk of developing complications a‰er the initial T2DM diagnosis from longitudinal pati...

Based on both functional and structural studies of excessive activity, fronto-striatal-thalamic-cortical and cortico-striatal circuits have been hypothesized to underlie the pathophysiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, the neurobiological underpinnings of OCD refractory to medication and therapy remain controversial. This study aimed to evaluate neuroanatomical abnormalities...

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an economically important pathogen of cattle that is maintained in the population by persistently infected animals. Virus infection may result in reproductive failure, respiratory disease and diarrhoea in naïve, susceptible bovines. Here, the construction and characterization of a novel vectored vaccine, which is based on the incorporation of genes encoding...
