Incubation temperature and post-hatch stress effects on immune parameters, immune system development, and performance in commercial broilers
… vaccinations for Marek's disease virus (MDV) at embryonic day (ED) 18, Newcastle disease virus (NDV) at hatch, the combination of MDV+NDV, or no vaccine (control). There were 16 resulting experimental groups: LH-Control, LH-MDV, LH-NDV, LH-MDV+NDV, LS-Control, LS-MDV, LS-NDV, LS-MDV+NDV, …

Enhancement of Protective Immune Responses in Chickens against Marek's Disease Virus
… in chickens against Marek’s disease virus (MDV). Initially, synthetic double-stranded (ds) RNA, polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic (poly(I:C)) was administered via different routes to determine the effects of this TLR agonist in chickens. It was demonstrated that administration of poly(I:C) …

Cell-mediated immunity in Marek's disease virus-infected chickens genetically selected for high and low levels of plasma corticosterone
… were inoculated with Marek's disease virus (MDV). Lymphocyte transformation (LT) microassays were performed to assess the CMI response of leucocytes from HPC and LPC MDV-infected chickens. Blastogenesis was quantitated by ³H-thymidine uptake. Leucocytes from chickens specifically sensitized …

Die Bedeutung von Interferon alpha und Interferon gamma auf den Verlauf der Marekschen Krankheit beim Haushuhn
Marek´s disease virus (MDV) is a herpesvirus causing a lymphoproliferative disorder of domestic chickens worldwide. The early signs of disease like apathy, anorexy and the transient paralysis as well as the symptoms at the later stages (Neoplasia and death) causes large economical problems in the …

The impacts of thermokarst activity on a stream in the McMurdo Dry Valleys
The McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV) of Antarctica are a unique ice-free landscape that is host to vibrant ecosystems despite the harsh environment (<10 cm water equivalent/yr, -20°C mean air temperature). Aquatic ecosystems in the MDV are dependent on the ephemeral glacial runoff streams which feed the …

Fantasia on a Theme of Purpose: Using a Music-Guided Scribble Technique to Support Meaning-Making in Older Adult Retiree Musicians
… categorized as Media Dimension Variables (MDV). Data analysis was executed in conjunction with theories of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the Expressive Therapies Continuum (ETC). Results obtained via thematic analysis suggested that the intervention facilitated access to …

Microbial Mat Abundance and Activity in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
… such as in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV) of Antarctica, where cyanobacterial communities are the main drivers of primary production. These microbial communities form multi-layered sheets (i.e., microbial mats) on top of desert pavement. The cryptic nature of these communities, their …

Multipath "Fresnel Zone" Routing for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
… vector routing, multipath distance vector (MDV) routing, and split multipath routing (SMR) algorithms in quasistatic wireless ad hoc networks. In our simulations, FZR achieves up to 100 percent higher average throughput using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and 50 percent higher average …

Microscopic Simulation Model for Mixed Traffic of Connected Automated Vehicles and Conventional Vehicles on Freeways
… vehicles (CAVs) and manually-driven vehicles (MDVs) at the full-spectrum of mixed penetration rates on a freeway segment by incorporating the car-following and lane-changing models via a conditional linkage to investigate the sensitivities in highway capacity and travel time. The car-following …

Human impact on the McMurdo Dry Valley soils of Antarctica: Extending the limits of DNA detection
… as sampling sites in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs), from which soil samples were collected. Human-specific genetic and microbial markers were used with digital PCR to quantify human presence at the lowest possible detection limit across spatial scales. A marker targeting a human MT-CYB gene …

Kinesthetic Imagery and Choreographic Praxis
… visualization of morphodynamic volume (hereafter MDV), which is a three-dimensional volume in a constant state of flux. The term intensive space will be introduced to give a definition to this related type of spatial categorization, one which involves continuous and dynamic transformations of both …
