The genome sequence of human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) strain AJ was determined in a comparison of target enrichment and long-range PCR using next-generation sequencing methodologies. The analyses show 85 predicted open reading frames (ORFs), conservation with sequenced HHV-6A reference strain U1102, and closest identity to the recently determined GS strain, despite different geographic origins (...

It has been suggested that when judging the distance to a desirable object, motivated distortions of perceived distance occur, and that these distortions can be measured by actions, such as throwing a beanbag. The results of two new experiments suggest that reported variations in beanbag performance may instead depend on instructional effects, such as ones that emphasize proximity rather than a...

Spectral retinal images have signi cant potential for improving the early detection and visualization of subtle changes due to eye diseases and many systemic diseases. High resolution in both the spatial and the spectral domain can be achieved by capturing a set of narrowband channel images from which the spectral images are composed. With imaging techniques where the eye movement between the a...

This paper presents an approach to near-optimal target localization for small and micro uninhabited aerial vehicles using a family of pre-computed parameterized trajectories. These trajectories are pre-computed for a set of nominal target locations uniformly distributed over the sensor field of view and stored off-line. Upon target detection the vehicle chooses the trajectory corresponding to t...

Suppose that all groups of order n are defined on the same set G of cardinality n, and let the distance of two groups of order n be the number of pairs (a, b) ∈ G×G where the two group operations differ. Given a group G(◦) of order n, we find all groups of order n, up to isomorphism, that are closest to G(◦).

Eukaryotic chromosomes occupy discrete territories with preferred positions within the cell nucleus, and establish extensive intraand inter-chromosomal interactions. The mechanisms underlying chromatin interactions and their roles in gene activity and cellular function remain unclear. Nor is it clear to what extent individual loci are free to explore the entire nuclear space, or are constrained...
