Diagnostic techniques for plant viruses are indispensable for the identification and classification of viruses associated with ‘new’ plant diseases (primary diagnosis), for the routine detection of known viruses, for example, in sanitation, breeding, and quarantine programs and for investigations on basic properties of a virus, that is, on its stru...

Factor H is an abundant plasma glycoprotein that plays a critical role in the regulation of the complement system in plasma and in the protection of host cells and tissues from damage by complement activation. Several recent studies have described the association of genetic variations of the complement factor H gene (CFH) with atypical haemolytic u...
In order to understand how waves influence the exchange of momentum, latent heat and other parameters, between the ocean surface and the atmosphere, one can use models. A coupling between a wave model and an atmospheric regional climate model, for the Baltic Sea, will be performed at the Meteorology Institute in Uppsala University. The wave model i...

Glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications. It is clear that the single step of β1,4-galactosylation is performed by a family of β1,4-galactosyltransferases (β1,4-GalTs), and that each member of this family may play a distinct role in different tissues and cells. β1,4-GalT I and V are involved in the biosynthesis of...
Building a domain ontology usually requires several resources of different types, e.g. thesaurus, object taxonomies, terminologies, data\-bases, sets of documents, etc. where objects are described in terms of attributes and relations with other objects. One important and hard problem is to be able to combine and merge knowledge units extracted from...
Surface wind fields from ERA-40 regionalised with the Rossby Centre Atmosphere model RCA3.0 are underestimated. In this report a method for correcting the wind fields is evaluated. The method is based on the empirical linear relationship between gusty winds and mean wind. For the validation observations from 26 automatic stations along the Swedish ...
Le proverbe dit "la parole pilée" correspond au niveau profond de la parole. Il s'agit d'un phénomène non de mémorisation mais de compréhension, qui constitue la principale voie d'accès au symbolisme. Cet article montre le cheminement qui permet l'acquisition de ces "paroles pilées" depuis l'enfance jusqu'à l'âge adulte.

A long-sought goal during the battle against avian influenza is to develop a new generation of vaccines capable of mass immunizing humans as well as poultry (the major source of avian influenza for human infections) in a timely manner. Although administration of the currently licensed influenza vaccine is effective in eliciting protective immunity ...
Les ontologies sont diversement employées notamment dans les domaines du Web sémantique, de l'ingénierie des connaissances,... En effet, elles permettent de partager, de diffuser et d'actualiser les connaissances d'un domaine. Afin de construire ces ontologies, notre méthodologie utilise tout d'abord des méthodes de Traitement Automatique de la Lan...
