The iterated best response (IBR) model is a game-theoretic approach to formal pragmatics that spells out pragmatic reasoning as backand-forth reasoning about interlocutors’ rational choices and beliefs (Franke, 2011; Jäger, 2011). We investigate the comprehension and production of referential expressions within this framework. Two studies manipulating the complexity of inferences involved in co...

A total of 332 dairy cow’s sera samples were collected from Kombolcha and Dessie districts North Ethiopia to determine the sero-prevalence infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), Brucellosis. Sera split into equal portions competitive ELISA was used for testing IBR in first portion while Rose Bengal test (RBT) Complement Fixation Test (CFT) detection Brucellosis second portion. Sero-posi...

Image-based rendering is one of the hottest new areas in computer graphics. Instead of using 3D modeling and painting tools to construct graphics models by hand, IBR uses real-world imagery to rapidly create photorealistic shape and appearance models. However, IBR results to date have mostly been restricted to static objects and scenes. Videobased rendering brings the same kind of realism to co...

Multi-biomarker approaches are used to assess ecosystem health and identify impacts of environmental stress on organisms. However, exploration of large datasets by environmental managers represents a major challenge for regulatory application of this tool. Several integrative tools were developed to summarize biomarker responses. The aim of the present paper is to update calculation of the "Int...

In general, morphological, physiological, and biochemical properties of fungal cells are drastically different among solid-state (SSC), liquid-surface (LSC), and submerged cultivation (SmC) systems. In addition to these traditional cultivation systems, a unique liquid-surface cultivation [liquid-surface immobilization (LSI)] system and interface cultivation systems [extractive liquid-surface im...

Ovine sera collected in the Prefectures of Hokkaido, Aomori and Iwate in the Northern Japan were examined for the presence of antibodies against Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), bovine Herpesvirus type 1 (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis: IBR) and Parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3) using serum neutralisation (SN) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests. Twenty-three animals (11.73...

A study, consisting of three trials, was undertaken in order to find standard reference sera for use in serological diagnostic procedures for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) in the European Union (EU). A total of forty-nine laboratories participated in the trials, in which panels of positive, weak positive, and negative candidate sera were tested blind by neutralisation, indirect and bl...

In this paper we study the non-uniform sampling problem for image-based rendering (IBR). We first propose a general position-interval error (PIE) function that can help solve practical sampling problems. We then propose two approaches to capturing IBR data non-uniformly based on PIE, namely progressive capturing (PCAP) and rearranged capturing (RCAP). PCAP is applicable for static scenes. Based...

Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) belongs to the Varicellovirus genus, Herpesviridae family and causes different respiratory, reproductive and nervous system disorders in cows, including infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR). For determination of the genetic relationship of gB and gD – two of main BHV-1 glycoprotein genes in Iran with those in other countries, DNA fragments of 671 bp corresponding...

Introduction: Zanubrutinib (zanu) is a potent and highly selective next-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor designed to maximize BTK occupancy minimize off-target effects. In the ALPINE study (NCT03734016), zanu demonstrated superiority ibrutinib (ibr) in both progression-free survival (PFS) overall response rate more favorable safety profile R/R CLL/SLL. The purpose of this analy...
