The tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) 30K movement protein (MP) gene was inserted into a full-length cDNA clone of barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) RNA beta replacing the triple gene block (TGB). The resulting recombinant ND-MPT genome, consisting of infectious wt transcripts of BSMV RNAs alpha and gamma, together with the hybrid RNA beta transcript, was inoculated onto test plants to study the funct...

Turkey rhinotracheitis (TRT) virus is a paramyxovirus associated with recent outbreaks of acute respiratory disease in turkeys. On morphological criteria it resembles the pneumoviruses more than the other members of the paramyxovirus family. In this communication we report the identification of five virus-induced polypeptides in TRT virus-infected BS-C-1 cells. The Mr of these polypeptides were...

An essential component of the mammalian pre-mRNA 3'-end processing machinery is a multimeric protein complex known as cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor (CPSF). The Drosophila melanogaster gene, clipper ( clp ), encodes a homolog of the CPSF 30K subunit. We have shown previously that CLP possesses N-terminal endoribonucleolytic activity and that the relative expression of its mRNA ...

Norwalk virus (NV) causes epidemic outbreaks of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis in humans. The NV capsid is made up of a single protein, and expression of the capsid protein in baculovirus recombinants results in spontaneous assembly of the protein into virus-like particles (X. Jiang, M. Wang, D. Y. Graham, and M. K. Estes, J. Virol. 66:6527-6532, 1992). We have investigated whether the NV c...

IP address lookup is becoming critical because of increasing entries in a forwarding table, linespeed and traffic in the Internet. Binary search is the most popular scheme based on S/W implementation. This search scheme has problems according to the parentchild relationship of prefixes. In this paper, we proposed the partitioned binary search scheme to split the parentchild relationship. All pr...

The recent discovery of the constructive use of pairings in cryptography has opened up a wealth of new research options into identitybased encryption. In this paper, we will investigate the possible use of pairings in constrained environments. The focus will be on an small, energy efficient ASIC implementation of an accelerator for the Tate pairing over a supersingular curve. The results are en...

The shared task on Prediction of Dropout Over Time in MOOCs involves analysis of data from 6 MOOCs offered through Coursera. Data from one MOOC with approximately 30K students was distributed as training data and consisted of discussion forum data (in SQL) and clickstream data (in JSON format). The prediction task was Predicting Attrition Over Time. Based on behavioral data from a week’s worth ...

A sensitive tunnel diode oscillator (TDO) operating at 4M Hz is used to probe the dynamic response of La 1−x Sr x M nO 3 single crystals for x = 0.125, 0.175, 0.28 and 0.33 doping. Systematics of the measured change in reactance (∆X) as a function of temperature (30K < T < 320K) and DC magnetic field (0 < H < 6kOe) reveal distinct temperature and field scales associated with the dynamic respons...

Focusing on the issues of lacking of semantic description on image identification and methods of mapping from low-level semantics to high-level semantics, this paper describes the experiments of identification of image semantic information by using LDA model, which can achieve the mapping from image visual feature to high-level semantics, and experiments on the data sets of Corel 5k and Corel 3...

We report photometry with ISO between 60 and 200μm of six galaxies. Three of them are active and the extension of their spectra beyond the IRAS bands up to 200μm confirms our previous conception that most of the dust there is warm and has a fairly uniform temperature of ∼30K. In the other three galaxies which are inactive, we detect a very cold component (∼10K and less) that could hitherto at b...
