Avian influenza H9N2 subtype viruses have had a great impact on Iranian industrial poultry production economy since introduction in the country. To approach Rapid and precise identification of this viruses as control measures in poultry industry, a real time probe base assay was developed to directly detect a specific influenza virus of H9N2 subtype -instead of general detection of Influenza A ...

This paper proposes a novel approach to anomalous behaviour detection in video. The approach is comprised of three key components. First, distributions of spatiotemporal oriented energy are used to model behaviour. This representation can capture a wide range of naturally occurring visual spacetime patterns and has not previously been applied to anomaly detection. Second, a novel method is prop...

Rumour detection is hard because the most accurate systems operate retrospectively, only recognising rumours once they have collected repeated signals. By then the rumours might have already spread and caused harm. We introduce a new category of features based on novelty, tailored to detect rumours early on. To compensate for the absence of repeated signals, we make use of news wire as an addit...

in present study, a sybr green based real time pcr assay was developed for specific detection and quantification of bacillus subtilis in dough used for bread making. new primer pairs were designed to amplify a 212 base pair fragment of the apre gene. specificity of these primer pairs was confirmed with conventional and real time pcr methods. standard curves constructed using the threshold cycle...

background and objective: rapid diagnosis of pertussis is important for the timely isolation of the infection source and early prevention measures among the contact persons, especially among non-vaccinated infants for whom pertussis is life- threatening. materials and methods: targets is481 , is1001, bp0026 and human gapdh gene were used to develop a multiplex real- time pcr assay based on the ...
