Transcription of the genes encoding the six viral nuclear antigens present in Epstein-Barr virus latently infected lymphocytes can be initiated from one of two promoters (Cp and Wp) mapping near the left end of the viral genome. These promoters are used in a mutually exclusive manner in clonal cell lines established from either Burkitt lymphoma tumors or in vitro infection of peripheral B lymph...

Hanley et al. (2010, hereafter HBS) present a global climatology of wind–wave interaction based on the inverse wave age (U10 cosu)/cp, where U10 is the wind speed at a height of 10 m, cp is the phase speed of the waves at the spectral peak, and u is the angle between the wind and the direction of propagation of the dominant waves. Their paper examines the extent to which the local wave field is...

The current study investigated the development of numerical estimation in 3to 5-year-old children sampled monthly for six months. At each session, children completed a task that assesses verbal number knowledge (Give-N task) and a numerical estimation task that assesses approximate number knowledge (Fast Cards). Results showed that children who acquired the cardinal principle (CP) during the co...

We prove that if there is an open mapping from a subspace of Cp(X) onto Cp(Y ), then Y is a countable union of images of closed subspaces of finite powers of X under finite-valued upper semicontinuous mappings. This allows, in particular, to prove that if X and Y are t-equivalent compact spaces, then X and Y have the same tightness, and that, assuming 2 > c, if X and Y are t-equivalent compact ...

Recently tremendous progress has been made in studying choroid plexus (CP) physiology and pathophysiology; and correcting several misconceptions about the CP. Specifically, the details of how CP, a locus of the blood-CSF barrier (BCSFB), secretes and purifies CSF, generates intracranial pressure (ICP), maintains CSF ion homeostasis, and provides micronutrients, proteins and hormones for neurona...

We present an analysis of the quasistationary (QS) state of the contact process (CP) on annealed scale-free networks using a mapping of the CP dynamics in a one-step process and analyzing numerically and analytically the corresponding master equation. The relevant QS quantities determined via the master equation exhibit an excellent agreement with direct QS stochastic simulations of the CP. The...

Open reading frame 2 (ORF2) of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) codes for the 233-amino-acid capsid protein (CP). Baculovirus-based vaccines that express only ORF2 are protective against clinical disease following experimental challenge or natural infection. The goal of this study was to identify regions in CP preferentially recognized by sera from experimentally infected and vaccinated pigs an...

Using constraint programming (CP), we address the taskmapping problem in data-driven macroprogramming for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A task graph representing the flow of data among tasks assists the application developer in specifying the features of a WSN at a high level of abstraction. A problem that arises in this context is how to map the tasks to nodes in the target network before t...
