The book finishes with presentations on a novel principle of attenuation for developing new generation live flavivirus vaccines, on tick-borne encephalitis, and on a recombinant vaccine developed from a canarypox virus carrying the prM/E genes of West Nile virus that will protect horses against a West Nile virus mosquito challenge, and on diagnosis of zoonotic viral encephalitis.
We adjusted the cut-off point between atherosclerotic plaque and lumen for each patient on the basis of the full width half maximum principle [mean lumen attenuation plus mean fibrous tissue attenuation (≈88 HU) divided by two].
SPECT/CT Physical Principles and Attenuation Correction.
It is based on the principle of the attenuation of radiation passing through matter, depending on the sample material and geometry.
Attenuation is therefore a general principle of motor sensory interaction, not just a specific physiological mechanism.
Particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 µm (PM10) was measured based on the radiometric principle of beta attenuation (Sensor FH62C14; Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Franklin, MA, USA).
This measurement is based on the principle that the 137Cs attenuation, mainly by Compton scattering, of a collimated beam of gamma rays passing through a known volume of sediment is related to material density (Boyce, 1976).
In proof of principle research, intra-muscular attenuation of Smad3, by RNAi, rescued aged muscle repair (Carlson et al., 2008).
In general, nature employs the following basic principles of protease inhibition: attenuation by reversible binding of inhibitors, "KO" inhibition by irreversible binding to the inhibitory molecule, which often involves the formation of covalent bonds, and compartmentalization.
However, antibodies against live attenuated vaccines do not allow to differentiate infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA principle) and the mechanism responsible for attenuation is not known.
