abstract: potato virus y a type species of the genus potyvirus infects several crops in the family solanaceae. pvy isolated from field infected peppers was identified on the basis of host reaction, serological and molecular characterization. the result of elisa, immunoblot electrophoresis and immuno capture reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction   (ic-rt-pcr) indicated that pepper isol...

A cognitive alteration in the form of diverse mental states has a significant impact on performance electroencephalography (EEG) based brain computer interface (BCI). Such alterations include change concentration levels commonly recognized as being indicated by alpha rhythm, drowsiness or fatigue which occurs during EEG signal acquisition. Change state give rise to challenge variability charact...

During cognate interaction with CD40 ligand (CD154)-expressing T cells, Ag-presenting accessory cells are activated for increased cytokine synthetic and costimulatory function. We examined whether CD40 modulates in vivo innate immune function over time, hypothesizing that distinct cytokine responses evolve to delayed microbial exposure. C3H/HeN mice pretreated with activating anti-CD40 Ab (FGK4...

We introduce an adaptive search technique that speeds up state space search by learning heuristic censors while searching. The censors speed up search by pruning away moTe and more of the space until a solution is found in the pruned space. Censors are learned by explaining dead ends and other search failures. To learn quickly, the technique over-generalizes by assuming that certain constraints...

dracocephalum kotschyi boiss. is a traditional medicine with antispasmodic activities. the objective of this research was to study antispasmodic activities of hydroalcoholic extract of d. kotschyi on rat isolated uterus contractions for comparison with isolated ileum. hydroalcoholic extract was obtained from aerial part of d. kotschyi using percolation method. a portion of rat ileum or uterus w...
