Two binding sites for EivF, a factor involved in transcription from the adenovirus early promoter iv (Eiv), were mapped within the adenovirus inverted terminal repeats (ITR). Consistent with the observation that EivF was required to initiate transcription from the Eiv promoter and with the demonstration that two EivF binding sites were present in the ITR, we show that the inverted terminal repe...

Abstract: Easily computable recursive algorithms are proposed for estimating coefficients of A(z), C(z), and the covariance matrix Rw of wk for the multivariate ARMA process A(z)yk = C(z)wk on the basis of the noise-corrupted observations ηk ∆ = yk + ǫk. It is shown that the estimates converge to the true ones under reasonable conditions. An illustrative example is provided, and the simulation ...

BACKGROUND Equine influenza virus (EIV) epizootics affect 2.1 million Mongolian horses approximately every 10 years and critically impact economy and nomadic livelihood of Mongolia. OBJECTIVES An active surveillance program was established in 2011 to monitor influenza viruses circulating among Mongolian horses. METHODS Nasal swabs were collected from horses in free-ranging horse herds in Tö...

Total least-squares (TLS) adjustment is used to estimate the parameters in the errors-in-variables (EIV) model. However, its exact solution is rather complicated, and the accuracies of estimated parameters are too difficult to analytically compute. Since the EIV model is essentially a non-linear model, it can be solved according to the theory of non-linear least-squares adjustment. In this cont...

Abstract M split estimation is a method that enables the of mutually competing versions parameters in functional observation models. In presented study, classical models found it are replaced by errors-in-variables (EIV) Similar to weighted total least-squares (WTLS) method, random components these were assigned covariance matrix Thus, proposed named Total (TM ) estimation, corresponds basic ru...

In spite of the great popularity of Ellenberg's Indicator Values (EIVs) in plant ecology, animal ecologists seldom use EIVs to address ecological questions. In this study we used EIVs to test their potential usefulness for the prediction of suitable habitat for pre-diapause larvae of the endangered butterfly species Euphydryas aurinia. Nine transects crossing grasslands in SW Poland with abunda...

Equine influenza viruses (EIV) are a major cause of acute respiratory disease in horses worldwide and occasionally also affect vaccinated animals. Like other influenza A viruses, they undergo antigenic drift, highlighting the importance of both surveillance and virus characterisation in order for vaccine strains to be kept up to date. The aim of the work reported here was to monitor the genetic...

A global coupled General Circulation Model is used to investigate effects of the lateral ocean mixing on the amplitude and spectral characteristics of the ENSO-like variability. Three 40-year coupled simulations are analysed. They only differ by the lateral ocean physics parametrized: a horizontal diffusion scheme; an isopycnal scheme ; isopycnal scheme with an Eddy Induced Velocity (EIV) term....

Oxidative stress decreases the bioavailability of endothelium-derived nitric oxide in diabetic patients. We investigated whether impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDV) in diabetes can be improved by long-term administration of oral antioxidants. Forty-nine diabetic subjects [26 Type 1 (T1) and 23 Type 2 (T2)] and 45 matched healthy control subjects were randomized to receive oral vit...
