As members of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIVIAIDS (P ACHA), we would like to thank you for this wonderful opportunity to serve the nation in addressing the HIV IAIDS epidemic, and to congratulate you for your outstanding leadership in releasing the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) inluly 2010. The NHAS has done a great deal to reenergize HIVIAIDS efforts in the U.S., and to promote a...

A bstract Electric-magnetic duality, the Newman-Janis shift, and double copy all act by elementary operations on three-point amplitudes. At same time, they generate a network of interesting classical solutions spanning from Coulomb charge via dyon to Kerr-Taub-NUT spacetime. We identify amplitudes corresponding each these solutions, working orders in spin, but leading perturbative order. confir...

The "Kitab al-abniya an haqa iq al-adwiya" (Book of the Foundations of Pharmacognosy) also Known as "Rozat ol-ons wa manfa 'ar on-nafs" is the most ancient medical book in Persian (Farsi), which was written by Abu Mansur Movaffaq ibn Ali Heravi during the period of Mansur ibn Noh Samani between the years 350 to 366 lunar hegira. The book deals with 584 mineral, herbal and animal-based drugs. Th...

Background Methods for haplotyping and DNA copynumber typing of single cells are paramount for studying genomic heterogeneity and enabling genetic diagnosis. Before analyzing the DNA of a single cell by microarray or next-generation sequencing, a whole-genome amplification (WGA) process is required, but it substantially distorts the frequency and composition of the cell’s alleles. As a conseque...

MOTIVATION The discovery that copy number variants (CNVs) are widespread in the human genome has motivated development of numerous algorithms that attempt to detect CNVs from intensity data. However, all approaches are plagued by high false discovery rates. Further, because CNVs are characterized by two dimensions (length and intensity) it is unclear how to order called CNVs to prioritize exper...
