Four species of Tephritoidea, three from genus Anastrepha: A. obliqua (Macquart), A. sororcula Zucchi and A. serpentina (Wiedemann), and one from genus Ceratitis, C. capitata (Wiedemann) were compared based on puparium morphology and application of the Heteroduplex Mobility Assay (HMA). Puparia were characterized for the first time using the spiracular posterior plate morphology. Application of...

A total of 343 HIV-1-positive samples obtained between June 1996 and March 1999 was genetically characterized in the envelope region by HMA and/or sequencing. The env subtype distribution was as follows: 290 (84.6%) A, 22 (6.5%) B, 16 (4.7%) C, 8 (2.5%) D, 1 (0.03%) E, 1 (0.03%) F1, 4 (1.2%) G, and 1 (0.03%) H. For 77 samples the p24 region from the gag gene was also sequenced, and for 9 (11.6%...

Plants have evolved intracellular immune receptors to detect pathogen proteins known as effectors. How these immune receptors detect effectors remains poorly understood. Here we describe the structural basis for direct recognition of AVR-Pik, an effector from the rice blast pathogen, by the rice intracellular NLR immune receptor Pik. AVR-PikD binds a dimer of the Pikp-1 HMA integrated domain wi...

Feature matching based 3D reconstruction is a standard technique in 3D Computer Vision. An natural extension is to reconstruct dynamic surfaces from videos, such as reconstructing sinus surfaces from endoscopic videos. However, since the camera is moving and the sinus surfaces are normally deformable and non-planar, the feature matching is usually unsatisfactory. We will employ a state-of-the-a...

Abstract. Atmospheric warming is intensifying glacier melting and glacial-lake development in High Mountain Asia (HMA), this could increase outburst flood (GLOF) hazards impact water resources hydroelectric-power management. There therefore a pressing need to obtain comprehensive knowledge of the distribution area glacial lakes also quantify variability their sizes types at high resolution HMA....

Aims To describe healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and costs in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) treated hypomethylating agents (HMA) based on HMA-treatment response.Materials methods SEER-Medicare data (January 2006–December 2016) were used to identify adults diagnosed MDS (SEER: January 2009–December 2015) initiated HMA (index date). success (indicators: ?7 cycles, stem cell ...

The adoption of warm mix asphalt (WMA) technologies is well accepted due to its promising environmental benefits, however, their long-term field performance not understood. This study focused on the rutting resistance WMA and companion hot (HMA) based 83 samples collected from 28 projects across United States covering four climate zones, quantified impacts for various as compared HMA. Field cor...
