Three structural forms of type 1 Lang reovirus (virions, intermediate subviral particles [ISVPs], and cores) have been examined by cryoelectron microscopy (cryoEM) and image reconstruction at 27 to 32-A resolution. Analysis of the three-dimensional maps and known biochemical composition allows determination of capsid protein location, globular shape, stoichiometry, quaternary organization, and ...

In this paper, we prove Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of $C^*$-ternary algebra homomorphism for the following generalized Cauchy-Jensen equation $$eta mu fleft(frac{x+y}{eta}+zright) = f(mu x) + f(mu y) +eta f(mu z)$$ for all $mu in mathbb{S}:= { lambda in mathbb{C} : |lambda | =1}$ and for any fixed positive integer $eta geq 2$ on $C^*$-ternary algebras by using fixed poind alternat...

Response surface models were developed and validated for effects of temperature (10 to 40 degrees C) and previous growth NaCl (0.5 to 4.5%) on lag time (lambda) and specific growth rate (mu) of Salmonella Typhimurium on cooked chicken breast. Growth curves for model development (n = 55) and model validation (n = 16) were fit to a two-phase linear growth model to obtain lambda and mu of Salmonel...

Response surface models were developed for effects of temperature (16 to 34 degrees C) and previous temperature (pretemperature; 16 to 34 degrees C) on lag time (lambda) and specific growth rate (mu) of Salmonella Typhimurium on cooked ground chicken breast. The primary objective was to determine whether pretemperature is a major factor affecting growth of Salmonella Typhimurium. Growth curves ...

BACKGROUND Strong associations between blood pressure (BP) and overweight raise the question whether overweight children (body mass index (BMI) ≥85th percentile) should be included in the normative database. METHODS Using the LMS (Lamda-Mu-Sigma) method, we developed age-, gender-, and height-adjusted percentile curves for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at th...

BACKGROUND The 2000 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts included lambda-mu-sigma (LMS) parameters intended to calculate smoothed percentiles from only the 3rd to the 97th percentile. OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate different approaches to describing more extreme values of body mass index (BMI)-for-age by using simple functions of the CDC growth charts. DES...

This paper investigates exact solutions of cosmological interest in fractional cosmology. Given $\mu$, the order Caputo's derivative, and $w$, matter equation state, we present specific power-law solutions. We discuss general solution Riccati Equation, where for scale factor is a combination power laws. Using data, estimate free parameters. An analysis type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) data observati...

The Box-Cox power exponential (BCPE) distribution, developed in this paper, provides a model for a dependent variable Y exhibiting both skewness and kurtosis (leptokurtosis or platykurtosis). The distribution is defined by a power transformation Y(nu) having a shifted and scaled (truncated) standard power exponential distribution with parameter tau. The distribution has four parameters and is d...
