The mean time to death of mice infected with Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus was increased 2 days by antithymocyte serum (ATS) treatment given 1 day before and 1 day after virus inoculation. Virus assays of blood, brain, and spleen indicated that VEE virus replication was delayed by ATS. Additionally, mice treated with ATS exhibited neurological signs later than untreated mice. ...

An n× n fuzzy matrix A is called regular if there is an n× n fuzzy matrix G such that AGA = A. We study the problem of characterizing those linear operators T on the fuzzy matrices such that T (X) is regular if and only if X is. Consequently, we obtain that T strongly preserves regularity of fuzzy matrices if and only if there are permutation matrices P and Q such that it has the form T (X) = P...

The photovoltaic (PV) system exhibits a nonlinear current-voltage (I-V) characteristic that its maximum power point (MPP) varies with solar insolation and temperature. In this paper, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method using fuzzy logic control (FLC) is presented. This method is based on the concept of perturbation and observation (P & O) algorithm to track the MPP. The two stage grid ...

We study a plug in least squares estimator for the change point parameter where is mean of high dimensional random vector under subgaussian or subexponential distributions. obtain sufficient conditions which this possesses adaptivity against estimates parameters order to yield an optimal rate convergence $O_{p}(\xi ^{-2})$ integer scale. This preserved while allowing dimensionality as well pote...

Two groups of four dairy cows (Bos taurus) were infected subcutaneously with the epizootic Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus (VEE) strains MF-8 and San Pelayo, respectively. Animals experienced no clinical illness, but all developed significant neutropenia. Virus was recovered once each from the blood of three animals but did not exceed 10(2.2) SMICLD(50) (Suckling mouse intracerebral l...

Column chromatography of selected Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) viruses on calcium phosphate gel offered a simple and reproducible method for examination of biochemical characteristics and relatedness of strains within the VEE complex. Members of antigenic subgroup I demonstrated a series of elution profiles within a narrow range of 0.22 to 0.25 M phosphate buffer. Members of antige...
