A total of 226 isolates of rabies virus from different areas of Israel, including three human isolates and one sample from South Lebanon were identified between 1993 and 1998 by direct immunofluorescence using monoclonal antibodies to the viral nucleoprotein (N). An epidemiological survey based on nucleotide sequence analysis of 328 bp from the C terminus of the N coding region and the noncodin...

We consider a holographic model constructed through using the D4/D8-D8 brane configuration with a NS-NS background field. We study some properties of the effective field theory in this intersecting brane construction, and calculate the effects of this NS-NS background field on some underlying dynamics. We also discuss some other general brane configurations.

The standard notion of NS-NS 3-form flux is lifted to Hitchin’s generalized geometry. This generalized flux is given in terms of an integral of a modified Nijenhuis operator over a generalized 3-cycle. Explicitly evaluating the generalized flux in a number of familiar examples, we show that it can compute three-form flux, geometric flux and non-geometric Q-flux. Finally, a generalized connectio...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of insulin resistance in development of postprandial dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetic patients in an experimental setting in which these patients were compared with nondiabetic subjects at similar glucose and insulin blood levels. METHODS AND RESULTS Eight type 2 diabetic patients in optimal blood glucose control and 7 control subjects (aged 50.0+/-2.6 and 48.1+/...
