BACKGROUND The apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon 4 allele is a marker of adverse outcome following head injury and intracerebral hemorrhage. Transgenic animal data in a focal cerebral ischemia model suggest that the epsilon 4 allele increases infarct size and functional impairment. OBJECTIVE To determine if APOE genotype is associated with functional recovery from ischemic stroke. DESIGN Pros...

This paper consider the   general  forms of $(alpha,beta)$-fuzzyleft ideals (right ideals, bi-ideals, interior ideals) of an orderedsemigroup, where$alpha,betain{in_{gamma},q_{delta},in_{gamma}wedgeq_{delta}, in_{gamma}vee q_{delta}}$ and $alphaneqin_{gamma}wedge q_{delta}$. Special attention is paid to$(in_{gamma},ivq)$-left ideals (right ideals, bi-ideals, interiorideals) and some related  pr...

In this paper we shall study some properties for upper Qfuzzy subgroups, some lemma and theorem for this subject. We shall study the upper Qfuzzy index with the upper fuzzy sub groups; also we shall give some new definitions for this subject. On the other hand we shall give the definition of the upper normal fuzzy subgroups, and study the main theorem for this. We shall also give new results on...

The hybrid numbers were introduced by Ozdemir [9] as a new generalization of complex, dual, and hyperbolic numbers. A number is defined $$k=a+bi+c\epsilon +dh$$ , where a, b, c, d are real $$ i,\epsilon ,h$$ operators such that $$i^{2}=-1,\epsilon ^{2}=0,h^{2}=1$$ $$ih=-hi=\epsilon +i$$ . This work intended an attempt to introduce the bi-periodic Horadam which generalize classical We give gener...

Mice immunized with recombinant vaccinia virus (VACC) expressing Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus capsid protein and glycoproteins E1 and E2 or with attenuated VEE TC-83 virus vaccine developed VEE-specific neutralizing antibody and survived intraperitoneal challenge with virulent VEE virus strains including Trinidad donkey (subtype 1AB), P676 (subtype 1C), 3880 (subtype 1D), and Ever...

This paper introduces a novel variation of the vee dipole antenna consisting of two coplanar vee dipoles with a common feed point. It is referred to as a double-vee dipole. Radiation characteristics of the double-vee dipole antenna are investigated numerically and experimentally. It is shown that the double-vee dipole can provide significantly higher directivity and lower sidelobes and back rad...

A novel genetic vaccine that is based on a Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEE) replicon launched from plasmid DNA is described. The plasmid encodes a VEE replicon under the transcriptional control of the cytomegalovirus immediate-early promoter (VEE DNA). The VEE DNA consistently expressed 3- to 15-fold more green fluorescent protein in vitro than did a conventional DNA vaccine. Furtherm...

The enzootic or endemic strains of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus (ID, IE, IF, and II-VI) are considered avirulent. In 1993 and 1996, outbreaks of encephalitis occurred in the horse populations in the Chiapas and Oaxaca provinces of Mexico, respectively. In both instances, enzootic VEE virus subserotype IE was isolated from brain tissues of dead horses. The present study invest...

We used previously characterized murine monoclonal antibodies to develop a panel useful in subtyping Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) viruses by an indirect fluorescent antibody assay. This panel worked well with either prototype VEE viruses or a series of more recent VEE virus isolates. The panel is particularly useful for rapidly differentiating VEE viruses with epidemic-epizootic potenti...

In this paper, we shall show that the following translation \(I^M\) from propositional fragment \(\bf L_1\) of Leśniewski's ontology to modal logic KTB\) is sound: for any formula \(\phi\) and \(\psi\) L_1\), it defined as (M1) \(I^M(\phi \vee \psi) = I^M(\phi) I^M(\psi)\), (M2) \(I^M(\neg \phi) \neg I^M(\phi)\), (M3) \(I^M(\epsilon ab) \Diamond p_a \supset . \wedge \Box p_b .\wedge p_a\), wher...
