The hallmark of these H5N1 viruses is their hemagglutinin genes inherited from A/goose/Guangdong/1996, a vi...

We discuss the possibility of unifying in a simple and economical manner Yukawa couplings third generation fermions non-supersymmetric SO(10) model with an intermediate symmetry breaking, focusing on two possible patterns Pati-Salam minimal left-right groups. For this purpose, we assume sector at high energy, starting Higgs bi-doublets scale which then simply reduce to doublet electroweak scale...
