Abstract:

ABSTRACT The Vsa proteins are associated with the virulence of the murine respiratory pathogen Mycoplasma pulmonis. The antigens consist of a conserved N-terminal region that is combined with one of several different variable C-terminal regions comprised of tandem repeats. M. pulmonis strains that produce VsaA with about 40 tandem repeats do not adhere to polystyrene or erythrocytes and are highly resistant to complement killing. Strains that produce VsaA with three tandem repeats adhere strongly to polystyrene and erythrocytes and are highly susceptible to complement killing. We report here t

ABSTRACT The vsa genes of Mycoplasma pulmonis encode the V-1 lipoproteins. Most V-1 proteins contain repetitive domains and are thought to be involved in mycoplasma-host cell interactions. Previously, we have reported the isolation and characterization of sixvsa genes comprising a 10-kb region of the genome ofM. pulmonis strain KD735-15. In the current study,vsa-specific probes were used to clone several fragments from a genomic library of KD735-15 DNA and assemble a single 20-kb contig containing 11 vsa genes.

The design was to generate a vortical flow inside the VSA, to reduce the negative torque of the returning rotor blade, and to increase the air speed into the rotor. Wind tunnel model tests were conducted to investigate how the VSAs affected rotor performance. Four VSAs were developed in

A VSA is proposed, in which three VSAs are designed to act as a muscle in joint space to provide firm grasping.

Abstract:

Legged and gait-assistance robots can walk more efficiently if their actuators are compliant. The adjustable compliance of variable-stiffness actuators (VSAs) can enhance this benefit. However, this functionality requires additional mechanical components making VSAs impractical for some uses due to increased weight, volume, and cost. VSAs would be more practical if they could modulate the stiffness of their springs without additional components, which usually include moving parts and an additional motor. Therefore, we designed a VSA that uses dielectric elastomer transducers (DETs) for springs

A ventricular septal aneurysm (VSA) is a rare cardiac anomaly, and an accurate statistic of its prevalence has not been reported in the literature. True incidence is likely underestimated as most patients are thought to be asymptomatic. As a result, most VSAs are discovered incidentally on echocardiography, during angiography, or at autopsy. Potential complications include rupture, bacterial endocarditis, right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and thromboembolic disease. It has been proposed that VSAs occur in association with ventricular septal defects (VSDs) and other congenital cardia

Abstract:

Avtorica izhaja iz predpostavke, da je sodoben, komunikacijsko usmerjen, pouk tujega jezika koristen za določene uporabnike, saj jih hitro pripelje do osnovne komunikacije v tujem jeziku. Žal tak pouk ni zadosten za tiste učence ali dijake, ki bodo od znanja tujega jezika odvisni in bo zanje pomembno ne le to, da znajo tvoriti sporočila, pač pa tudi, da jih tvorijo pravilno in imajo korektno izgovorjavo. Avtorica razmišlja o tem, kakšno vlogo bi pri tem lahko imelo glasno branje. Raziskave, katerih izsledke podaja, so bile doslej opravljene na področju maternih jezikov in z zelo majhnimi otrok

Abstract:

e23120 Background: Cancer patients experience symptoms which may precede diagnosis, occur during therapy, and persist into survivorship. Symptom assessments and patient reported outcomes have been shown to improve quality of life and extend survival in cancer patients. The Veterans Administration Symptom Assessment Scale (VSAS) is a clinical tool to document cancer-related symptoms. Here, we report VSAS adoption in five Veterans Health Administration (VHA) hematology-oncology sites during a five-year period. Methods: Data was collected from the Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW): VSAS data, date o

Abstract:

PurposeThis study investigated the acoustic properties of 6 Taiwan Southern Min vowels produced by 10 laryngeal speakers (LA), 10 speakers with a pneumatic artificial larynx (PA), and 8 esophageal speakers (ES).MethodEach of the 6 monophthongs of Taiwan Southern Min (/i, e, a, ɔ, u, ə/) was represented by a Taiwan Southern Min character and appeared randomly on a list 3 times (6 Taiwan Southern Min characters × 3 repetitions = 18 tokens). Each Taiwan Southern Min character in this study has the same syllable structure, /V/, and all were read with tone 1 (high and level). Acoustic measurements

Abstract:

Na držalih srebrnih žlic, ki jih je še pred letom 1000 izdelal bizantinski zlatar, so vrezane besede ali vsaj zaporedje črk z abreviaturnimi znamenji, ki jih je mogoče prebrati kot del verza. Žlice niso bile za vsakdanjo rabo, na mizo so jih dali ob posebnih priložnostih, in ko je med povabljenci iz kroga učenih mož stekel pogovor, se je sprožila igra ekfraze. V srebro vrezane besede so bile izhodišče dogodka: prepoznati je bilo treba literarno besedilo in ga interpretirati z opisom, v katerem je k besedi izzvani ubesedil likovno delo.
