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...

Considering a multi-dimensional q-oscillator invariant under the (non quantum) group U(n), we construct a q-deformed Levi-Civita epsilon tensor from the inner product states. The invariance of this q-epsilon tensor is shown to yield the quantum group SLq(n) and establishes the relationship of the U(n) invariant q-oscillator to quantum groups and quantum group related oscillators. Furthermore th...

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...

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...

This paper deals with Zadeh’s compositional rule of inference [12] under triangular norms: IF X is P AND X and Y have relation R, THEN Y is Q, where P and Q are fuzzy sets of the real line IR, R is a fuzzy relation on IR and the conclusion Q is defined via sup-T composition of P and R: μQ(y) = sup x∈IR T (μP (x), μR(x, y)), y ∈ IR. It is shown that (i) when the triangular norm T and the members...

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...

Let $\mathcal {X}= \{x_{1},x_{2},\ldots, x_{q}\}$ and let notation="LaTeX">$n(m,q,\ell)$ be the smallest notation="LaTeX">$n$ for which there is a code notation="LaTeX">$C \subseteq \mathcal {X} ^{n}$ of notation="LaTeX">$m$ elements ...

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...

is obvious, and then what always hold in the Mamdani's case is the equivalence (p 2 q ! r) = (p ! r) ^ (q ! r): (14) Consequently, if I is a Mamdani–Larsen's implication (8) never holds, but (14) is always true. IV. CONCLUSION After remembering the four main types of implications used in Fuzzy Logic, the equality [p ^ q ! r] = [(p ! r) _ (q ! r)] (*) is analyzed bot in complemented lattices and...
