Sequences encompassing cleavage sites of fusion protein genes were obtained for avian paramyxovirus 1 isolates from cormorants in Canada. All isolates have the virulent cleavage site SRGRRQKR*FVG. They form a distinct cluster within isolates obtained around the world and may represent a novel genotype closely related to genotype V.

The chromosome breakpoints of a translocation, t(2;14), from an Epstein-Barr virus-transformed human B lymphoblastoid cell line were isolated and analyzed. This unusual translocation arose as a result of the fusion of two immunoglobulin (Ig) variable (V) genes, one from the heavy chain cluster on chromosome 14, the other from the light chain (k) cluster on chromosome 2. The chromosome breaks oc...

The origin of the large $\alpha$ particle production and incomplete fusion in reactions involving weakly-bound $\alpha$+$x$ cluster nuclei still remains unresolved. While (two-step) process breakup followed by capture ``free" complementary fragment ($x$) is widely believed to be responsible, a few recent studies suggest dominant role (direct) stripping. To achieve an unambiguous experimental di...

The authors define the probability of receiving correct decisions from all the clusters by the data fusion centre as the reliability of distributed detection in clustered wireless sensor networks and formulate it in two cases of parallel and serial distributed detection. An energy-efficient distributed detection method – called hybrid distributed detection – is also proposed in which distribute...

We describe SiSPI, a clustering tool based on an unsupervised and incremental approach which aims at arranging short passages from one or multiple documents written in Brazilian Portuguese into clusters. In order to identify similar passages, SiSPI makes use of a statistical model, named TF-ISF (Term Frequency Inverse Sentence Frequency). By grouping similar passages into the same cluster, SiSP...

Prostate cancer is histologically and molecularly heterogeneous. Clinically significant disease is often driven by dominant intra-prostatic lesions (IPLs). Prostate cancers cluster into molecular phenotypes with substantial genetic heterogeneity making pathway-based molecular analysis appealing. MRI/ultrasound fusion biopsy provides a unique opportunity to characterize tumor biology of discrete...

Due to limited resources in wireless sensor nodes, energy efficiency is considered as one of the primary constraints in the design of the topology of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Since data that are collected by wireless sensor nodes exhibit the characteristics of temporal association, data fusion has also become a very important means of reducing network traffic as well as eliminating data...
