This work presents ValiPVM, a testing tool for C/PVM parallel programs. This tool implements structural coverage criteria, using an architecture already employed for MPI programs. It supports generation and evaluation of test sets and considers the control, data and communication flows of PVM programs. ValiPVM has a graphical user interface, designed to facilitate the test execution, analysis o...

The transcriptional start sequence of pneumonia virus of mice is more variable than that of the other pneumoviruses, with five different nine-base gene start (GS) sequences found in the PVM genome. The sequence requirements of the PVM gene start signal, and the efficiency of transcriptional initiation of the different virus genes, was investigated using a reverse genetics approach with a minige...

The immunity-related GTPases (IRGs) constitute an interferon-induced intracellular resistance mechanism in mice against Toxoplasma gondii. IRG proteins accumulate on the parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM), leading to its disruption and to death of the parasite. How IRGs target the PVM is unknown. We show that accumulation of IRGs on the PVM begins minutes after parasite invasion and increas...

Severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease is a frequent cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in young children, and is associated with marked lung epithelial injury and neutrophilic inflammation. Experimental studies on ARDS have shown that inhibition of apoptosis in the lungs reduces lung epithelial injury. However, the blockade of apoptosis in the lungs may also have del...

AIM We assessed pubovisceral muscle (PVM) defects, levator hiatal dimensions and anal sphincter defects using three-dimensional (3D) endovaginal and anorectal ultrasonography in women with previous vaginal delivery and faecal incontinence to determine the relationship between anatomic/functional findings and severity of faecal incontinence symptoms. METHOD This was a prospective, observationa...

Previous studies have suggested that macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) serves an important role in hearing function; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, perivascular‑resident macrophage‑like melanocytes (PVM/Ms) from the stria vascularis of the lateral cochlear wall in young and aged mice were isolated. The mRNA and protein expression levels of MI...

Potato is one of the most important agricultural crops worldwide and known to be susceptible more than 40 viruses in nature. In this research, 298 leaf samples collected from potato fields Afyon, Nevşehir Bolu provinces previous study were used determine affecting production region. The leaves plants showing virus symptoms subjected RT-PCR using virus-specific primers, order detect presence lea...

Tests of the present-value model (PVM) of the current account are frequently rejected by data. Standard explanations rely on the busual suspectsQ of non-separable preferences, fiscal policy and world real interest rate shocks, external imperfect international capital mobility, and an internalized risk premium. We confirm these rejections on post-war Canadian data, then investigate their source ...

This paper describes a high level C++ library for message passing applications. Our interface is build on top of PVM and MPI. The goal of this interface is to allow a quicker design of parallel applications without any important drop of performances. We introduce two levels of tasks and use C++ streams for communications. We also present a performance study over both PVM and MPI to show the ove...
