Twelve slow-growing virus isolates propagated in tissue culture from cattle with epididymitis and vaginitis were identified as herpes viruses by virtue of their biological, physicochemical and morphological characteristics. None of the 12 virus strains proved to be serologically related to the infectious pustular vulvo-vaginitis-infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IPV-IBR) virus, but a further 3...

BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has been administered since the 1990s and is now one of the major treatments for breast cancer. It can achieve extremely positive results in some patients. Whether NAC affects immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) using an expander, however, remains unclear. METHODS A retrospective study was performed at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) hosp...

Chemiluminescent reactions of metastable Mg*(Pj) atoms with F2, Cl2, Br2, I2, IC1, IBr molecules were studied in a beam-gas experiment. For all homonuclear targets the MgX(A FI X X) emission was observed, but for IC1 and IBr reactants the Mgl(A-X) emission was absent and only MgCl(A-X) or MgBr(A-X) spectra were found. In addition, for the I2, IBr, IC1, Br2 reactions, broad pseudocontinua extend...

Location-scale invariant Bickel-Rosenblatt goodness-of-fit tests (IBR tests) are considered in this paper to test the hypothesis that f , the common density function of the observed independent d-dimensional random vectors, belongs to a null location-scale family of density functions. The asymptotic behaviour of the test procedures for fixed and non-fixed bandwidths is studied by using an unify...

We have been developing a system named “mutual tele-existence” which allows for face-to-face communication between remote users [14]. Although imagebased rendering (IBR) is suitable for rendering human figures with a complex geometry, conventional IBR techniques cannot readily be applied to our system. Because most IBR techniques include timeconsuming processes, they cannot capture the source i...

Power systems are rapidly transitioning towards having an increasing proportion of electricity from inverter-based resources (IBR) such as wind and solar. An inevitable consequence a power system transition 100% IBR is the loss synchronous generators with their associated inertia, frequency, voltage control mechanisms. To ensure future grid needs can be met, source services to meet these must c...

Loss of parkin function is a predominant cause of familial Parkinsonism. Emerging evidence also suggests that parkin expression variability may confer a risk for sporadic Parkinson disease. We have recently demonstrated that a wide variety of Parkinson disease-linked stressors, including dopamine (DA), induce parkin solubility alterations and promote its aggregation within the cell, a phenomeno...

In this research, dairy cattle, located in Konya in Central Anatolian Region and its surrounding and had respiratory system symptoms, were investigated for the seroprevalence Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV), Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus (BRSV), Parainfluenza Virus type 3 (PI-3) and Bovine Adenovirus type 3 (BAV-3). For that purpose, 5800 animals...

BACKGROUND The study aimed to evaluate local and national trends in immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) using the national English administrative records, Hospital Episode Statistics. Our prediction was an increase in implant-only and free flap procedures and a decline in latissimus flap reconstructions. METHODS Data from an oncoplastic center were interrogated to derive numbers of implant-...

INTRODUCTION Glycaemic index (GI) reflects the blood glucose response after ingestion of a 50 g digestible carbohydrate portion. Many factors affect the GI, including degree of starch gelatinization. METHODS The objective was to determine the GI and the effect of different cooking methods on GI of a Pakistani basmati rice (PBR) and an Indian basmati rice (IBR) frequently purchased by Sri Lank...
