conclusions our results demonstrated a novel h7n9 virus in chickens in taizhou city in 2013 that may pose a potential risk to public health. results of 150 samples tested, 7 were detected to be h7n9 positive which all were collected from chickens. also, a novel h7n9 virus strain (a/chicken/jiangsu/1021/2013) was isolated and studied. phylogenetic analysis showed the novel isolated h7n9 virus ha...

XXXI Annual Meeting of Indian Academy of Neurosciences was held at Vigyan Parishad & National Academy of Sciences, Allahabad between October 25th–27th, 2013 with the theme “Emerging Trends and Challenges in Neuroscience”. IAN meeting is an amalgamation of multi disciplinary neuroscientists and research students with immense potential for planning future course of action. The entire Neuroscience...

We describe a biological event detection method implemented for the Genia Event Extraction task of BioNLP 2013. The method relies on syntactic dependency relations provided by a general NLP pipeline, supported by statistics derived from Maximum Entropy models for candidate trigger words, for potential arguments, and for argument frames.

This study contributes to knowledge of Anopheles species, including vectors of Plasmodium from the western Brazilian Amazon in Porto Velho, Rondônia State. The sampling area has undergone substantial environmental changes as a consequence of agricultural and hydroelectric projects, which have caused intensive deforestation and favored habitats for some mosquito species. The purpose of this stud...

This paper locates the field of TESOL1 within a broad and complex social context marked by dramatic and dynamic technological and socio-economic changes that have taken place over the few last decades in many countries in the world. Understanding these transformations is crucial for educators because it facilitates understanding of the educational and professional needs of people (Saha 1997; Al...

Effective Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) requires both a qualitative analysis of potential human errors and a quantitative assessment of the likelihood of those errors. One of the main conclusions from an International HRA Empirical Study is the importance of qualitative analysis when performing HRA. Although qualitative data collection is relatively well established for HRA in the nuclear in...

We quantified the clonal diversity of the New Zealand marine trematode Maritrema novaezealandensis (n = 1250) within Zeacumantus subcarinatus snail (n = 25) and Macrophthalmus hirtipes crab (n = 25) intermediate hosts using four to six microsatellite loci, and investigated the potential biological and physical factors responsible for the observed genetic patterns. Individual snails harboured on...

The circumsporozoite protein (CSP) plays a key role in malaria sporozoite infection of both mosquito salivary glands and the vertebrate host. The conserved Regions I and II have been well studied but little is known about the immunogenic central repeat region and the N-terminal region of the protein. Rodent malaria Plasmodium berghei parasites, in which the endogenous CS gene has been replaced ...
