Mice dually infected with murine sarcoma virus (Moloney) [MSV(M)] and Guaroa virus (GV), an arbovirus of the Bunyamwera group, showed enhanced MSV(M) infection, reflected by progressive tumor growth, reduced median survival time, increased virus yield from tumor, and increased mortality with tumor as compared to mice inoculated with MSV(M) alone. Temporal studies indicated that GV-mediated enha...

Recently, Wadler presented a continuation-passing translation from a session-typed functional language, GV, to a process calculus based on classical linear logic, CP. However, this translation is one-way: CP is more expressive than GV. We propose an extension of GV, called HGV, and give translations showing that it is as expressive as CP. The new translations shed light both on the original tra...

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a sporadic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by various combinations of autonomic dysfunction, cerbellar symptoms, parkinsonism and pyramidal signs. Although molecular mechanisms of MSA remain to be elucidated, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) may provide clues as to the susceptibility genes for MSA. Establishment of the natural history of MSA is es...

STUDY QUESTION Does the position of the germinal vesicle (GV) in human oocytes correlate with molecular and morphological parameters as well as with maturation-competence? SUMMARY ANSWER The position of GV in human oocytes correlates with density of microtubule (MT) filaments, concentration of Fyn, nucleolus localization and the ability of the oocytes to complete maturation following GV break...

This paper discusses a novel probabilistic synchronous TAG formalism, synchronous Tree Substitution Grammar with sister adjunction (TSG+SA). We use it to parse a language for which there is no training data, by leveraging off a second, related language for which there is abundant training data. The grammar for the resource-rich side is automatically extracted from a treebank; the grammar on the...

BACKGROUND Brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging offers the potential for objective criteria in the differential diagnosis of multiple system atrophy with predominant parkinsonism (MSA-P) and Parkinson disease (PD), since it frequently shows characteristic abnormalities in patients with MSA-P and is believed to be normal in patients with PD. OBJECTIVE To determine concordance between clinical...

BACKGROUND Cognition and mobility in older adults are closely associated and they decline together with aging. Studies evaluating associations between cognitive factors and gait performance in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) are scarce. In this study, our aim was to determine whether specific cognitive factors have a more identifiable effect on gait velocity during dual-tasking in p...

We introduce a generic Language Independent Framework for Linguistic Code Switch Point Detection. The system uses the word length, character level (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5)-grams and word level unigram language models to train a conditional random fields (CRF) model for classifying input words into various languages. We test our proposed framework and compare it to the state-of-theart published syste...

Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is an NP-complete and important problem in bioinformatics. In this paper, we have proposed iterative alignment method using a Genetic Algorithm for Multiple Sequence Alignment, named TSGA-MSA. The steps in this algorithm are discussed in details and its performances on a set of benchmark datasets from the BAliBase 2. 0 are analysed. The experimental results, th...
