UNLABELLED Semliki Forest virus (SFV) provides a well-characterized model system to study the pathogenesis of virus encephalitis. Several studies have used virus derived from the molecular clone SFV4. SFV4 virus does not have the same phenotype as the closely related L10 or the prototype virus from which its molecular clone was derived. In mice, L10 generates a high-titer plasma viremia, is eff...

A collection of typical examples shows the exotic behaviour of numerical methods when applied to singular perturbation problems. While standard meshes are used in the first six examples, even on layer-adapted meshes several surprising phenomena are shown to occur. AMS subject classification (2000): 35 L10, 35 L12, 35 L60

The relative accessibility of rat liver ribosomal proteins to reductive methylation was examined using ribosomes with unphosphorylated, and extensively phosphorylated S6. Comparison of the results indicated that proteins S3, S4, S7, and S23/24 of the small subunit, and proteins L9, L10, L12, L18, L27, L34, and L36 are involved in a ribosomal conformational change.

Magnetic nanoparticles and thin films exhibiting a large magnetic anisotropy energy density (MAE) have attracted enormous attention over the last years due to their potential use in magnetic data storage or sensing applications. FePt alloy nanoparticles and films have a huge MAE in the chemically ordered L10 phase. This ordered phase is typically obtained by annealing the as-prepared chemically...

Abstract Lactation taxes mothers’ bone health, causing them to lose up 10% of their mass for milk calcium. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants (SSRIs) are commonly used during pregnancy and lactation but independently decrease mass. We previously demonstrated that both maternal offspring densities were compromised by treatment with the SSRI fluoxetine throughout lactation. In...
