GRANULOCYTIC ANAPLASMOSIS IN CATS FROM CENTRAL EUROPE AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF FELINE ANAPLASMA PHAGOCYTOPHILUM STRAINS BY ANKA GENE, GROEL GENE AND MULTILOCUS SEQUENCE TYPING

Abstract Background Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium that replicates in neutrophil granulocytes.It is transmitted by ticks of the Ixodes ricinus complex and causes febrile illness called granulocytic anaplasmosis primarily in humans, horses, dogs, sheep, cattle and goats.In comparison, clinically apparen

Abstract We construct a (1+1)-dimension continuum model of 4-component fermions incorporating the exceptional Lie group symmetry G 2.Four gapped and five gapless phases are identified via the one-loop renormalization group analysis.The gapped phases are controlled by four different stable SO(8) Gross-Neveu fixed points, among which three exhibit an

Considering wideband millimeter wave (mmWave) multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, we propose a new hybrid precoding and combining method for rate balancing among users.The orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) scheme is employed for multiuser transmission, and a greedy-based algorithm is developed for subband al

Abstract This paper measures the effect of a long-term career interruption on wages after re-employment.Using data from the Swiss Household Panel (SHP) and a fixed effects estimation method allows us to account for time-constant unobserved heterogeneity.We find a significant wage penalty of Bowden Cable about 7% in the first year after re-employmen

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) improves outcome after experimental axle pulley SCI by counteracting apoptosis, and enhancing connectivity in the injured spinal cord.Previously we have employed the mouse hemisection SCI model and studied motor function after subcutaneous or transgenic delivery of the protein.To further broaden confide
