Impact of Thymectomy on the Peripheral T Cell Pool in the Context of SIV Infection
Sarah Tuttleton Arron
Jan 01, 0001
The thymus is the primary lymphoid organ responsible for T cell production. It is of particular interest in the context of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-l infection, in which the progressive loss of CD4+ T cells leads to...

The use of oral fluids to monitor key pathogens in porcine respiratory disease complex.
BACKGROUND: The usefulness of oral fluid (OF) sampling for surveillance of infections in pig populations is already accepted but its value as a tool to support investigations of porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC) has...

The decreased replicative capacity of simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac239?nef is manifest in cultures of immature dendritic cells and T cells
Transmission of simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac239?nef (?nef) to macaques results in attenuated replication of the virus in most animals and ultimately induces protection against challenge with some pathogenic, wild- type...

Ensuring Core Competencies for Cybersecurity Specialists
Within an organization, it is critical that all employees possess a security awareness and thus play a part in the protection of said organization's information assets. Some employees will have key roles and responsibilities and...
Increased macrophage infection upon subcutaneous inoculation of rhesus macaques with simian immunodeficiency virus-loaded dendritic cells or T cells but not with cell-free virus
Information on the establishment of immunodeficiency virus infection through transmission of infected cells is sparse. Dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells may be central to the onset and subsequent spread of infection following...

Atraumatic oral spray immunization with replication-deficient viral vector vaccines
The development of needle-free vaccines is one of the recently defined "grand challenges in global health" (H. Varmus, R. Klausner, R. Klausner, R. Zerhouni, T. Acharya, A. S. Daar, and P. A. Singer, Science 302:398-399, 2003)....

The IKKbeta subunit of IkappaB kinase (IKK) is essential for nuclear factor kappaB activation and prevention of apoptosis.
The IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex is composed of three subunits, IKKalpha, IKKbeta, and IKKgamma (NEMO). While IKKalpha and IKKbeta are highly similar catalytic subunits, both capable of IkappaB phosphorylation in vitro, IKKgamma...

A multi-decadal record of oceanographic changes of the past ~165 years (1850-2015 AD) from Northwest of Iceland.
Extending oceanographic data beyond the instrumental period is highly needed to better characterize and understand multi-decadal to centennial natural ocean variability. Here, a stable isotope record at unprecedented temporal...

Musicians’ views on the role of reading music in learning, performance, and understanding
Yuko Arthurs, Karin Petrini
Mar 31, 2024
Reading music notation is not an easy skill to acquire and can take years of training to master. In addition, it is not strictly necessary to be able to read music to make music. Nevertheless, music teaching and learning in the...

Citizen Adoption in E-Government Systems
Electronic Government (e-Government) refers to a system of information, communication and interaction between government and its citizens. E-Government adoption has been studied for more than a decade with several meta-analytic...
Non-smooth Hopf-type bifurcations arising from impact–friction contact events in rotating machinery
We analyse the novel dynamics arising in a nonlinear rotor dynamic system by investigating the discontinuity-induced bifurcations corresponding to collisions with the rotor housing (touchdown bearing surface interactions). The...

Phyloepidemiological analysis reveals that viral divergence led to the paucity of SIVmus/gsn/mon infections in wild populations
Human immunodeficiency virus subtype-1 (HIV-1) is the result of cross-species transmission of simian immunodeficiency virus from chimpanzees (SIVcpz). SIVcpz is a chimeric virus which shares common ancestors with viruses...

Hearing where the eyes see
To reduce sensory uncertainty, humans combine cues from multiple senses. However, in everyday life, many co‐occurring cues are irrelevant to the task at hand. How do humans know which cues to ignore? And does this ability change...

The Effects of Explicit and Implicit Cognitive Factors on the Learning Patterns in the Iowa Gambling Task
The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) has become a standard tool in the area of decision making, but recent studies have indicated that cognitive factors might distort the implicit learning expected from the original design of the task....

Experience in judging intent to harm modulates parahippocampal activity
Does visual experience in judging intent to harm change our brain responses? And if it does, what are the mechanisms affected? We addressed these questions by studying the abilities of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) operators...
