Apparatus, systems and methods for distributed signal processing

TL;DR: In this paper, an active memory 14 is provided which includes a data memory 20 including rows and columns of storage locations for holding data and computational results, and a broadcast memory 22 includes rows and column of storage location for holding control instructions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Full restoration of viral fitness by multiple compensatory co-mutations in the nucleoprotein of influenza A virus cytotoxic T-lymphocyte escape mutants.

TL;DR: The nucleoprotein displays unexpected flexibility to overcome functional constraints imposed by CTL epitope sequences, allowing influenza viruses to escape from specific CTLs and improve viral fitness of viruses containing 375G and 384R.
Journal ArticleDOI

H7 avian influenza virus vaccines protect chickens against challenge with antigenically diverse isolates.

TL;DR: All vaccines provided similar protection against mortality, morbidity and shedding of challenge virus from the respiratory tract, however, some minor (not statistically significant) differences were observed and correlated with antibody levels induced by the vaccine prior to challenge.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of Influenza haemagglutinin receptor binding as it relates to pandemic properties

TL;DR: Current evidence suggests that mortality associated with any emergent pandemic from current strains may be reduced if haemagglutinin specificity changes, further emphasising the importance of understanding how and if selection pressures in the human will cause such an alteration.
