Using cloned bovine leukemia virus (BLV) DNA as a probe in the dot blot hybridization technique, we demonstrated that the expression of the BLV genome in infected lymphocytes is blocked in vivo at the transcriptional level. This blocking effect is due to a non-immunoglobulin protein present in the plasma but not in the serum of BLV-infected cattle. The plasma BLV-blocking protein also blocks th...

The effect of endogenous serotonin on long-term potentiation (LTP) in region CAI was studied by blocking 5-HT2 receptors with ketanserin in rat hippocampal slices. Such a block significantly en-hanced long-term potentiation of the CAI population spike induced by high frequency stimulation of the schaffer collateral/ commissural pathway. This implies that serotonin acts on 5-HT2 receptors in CAI...

in order to estimate the mean of maternal antibody in calves against bhv-1 (bovine herpes virus type 1), this study was carried out in a population of calves from non-vaccinated dairy cattle at 2 livestock in qazvin province. one hundred thirteen sera out of 512 were collected from 1-4 months unvaccinated calves. we used blocking –percentage of maternal antibodies against bhv-1, which obtained ...

mobile computing systems are made up of different components among which mobile support stations (msss) play a key role. this paper proposes an efficient mss-based non-blocking coordinated checkpointing scheme for mobile computing environment. in the scheme suggested nearly all aspects of checkpointing and their related overheads are forwarded to the msss and as a result the workload of mobile ...

Submerged vegetation has strong vitality, and the root system is highly developed. Because this a good bank-solidifying-and-beautifying effect, it widely used in ecological river construction. However, open channel flow field water-blocking mechanism of submerged are complicated. It not convenient to use kind original model directly engineering calculation, but can be much more if generalized i...
