Viruses that infect the central nervous system may cause acute, chronic, or latent infections. In some cases, the diseases manifested are attributable to viral damage of neurons or supporting parenchymal tissues; in other cases, to immune attack on virally infected cells. They can be spread by excretion, by respiratory droplets or fomites, or, alternatively, by bites of insects or animals. Thes...

This chapter provides an overview of recent research on inorganic nanowires, particularly metallic and semiconducting nanowires. Nanowires are one-dimensional, anisotropic structures, small in diameter, and large in surfaceto-volume ratio. Thus, their physical properties are different than those of structures of different scale and dimensionality. While the study of nanowires is particularly ch...

Maximum parsimony analysis of DNA sequence data from the internal and external transcribed spacer (ITS and ETS) regions of 18S-26S nuclear ribosomal DNA and the 3' trnK intron of chloroplast DNA from over 60 populations of Lasthenia sect. Amphiachaenia yielded a well-supported tree showing that the most common species of Lasthenia, L. californica sensu lato (s.l.), is not monophyletic. Members ...

The taxonomy of Talaromyces rugulosus, T. wortmannii and closely related species, classified in Talaromyces sect. Islandici, is reviewed in this paper. The species of Talaromyces sect. Islandici have restricted growth on MEA and CYA, generally have yellow mycelia and produce rugulosin and/or skyrin. They are important in biotechnology (e.g. T. rugulosus, T. wortmannii) and in medicine (e.g. T. ...

The system AProVE (Automated Program Verification Environment) offers a variety of techniques for automated (innermost) termination proofs of (possibly conditional) TRSs, logic programs, and first-order functional programs. Besides efficient implementations of classical simplification orders (Sect. 2), it offers the dependency pair technique [2,11] which allows the application of classical orde...

the present study attempts to define the meaning of faith according to the views of morjeeh since this definition distinguishes this sect from the other sects of the era and the belief in this definition of faith is the common point among all the branches of morjeeh. finally, this study criticizes their view on the basis of the quran and the traditions (hadiths) of the shiite imams (peace be up...

The eponymous theorem of P.L. Wantzel [Wan] presents a necessary and sufficient criterion for angle trisectability in terms of the third Chebyshev polynomial T3, thus making it easy to prove that there exist non-trisectable angles. We generalize this theorem to the case of all Chebyshev polynomials Tm (Corollary 1.4.1). We also study the set m-Sect consisting of all cosines of m-sectable angles...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite markers were characterized in Tricyrtis macrantha (sect. Brachycyrtis, Convallariaceae), a vulnerable species endemic to Japan, to investigate its genetic diversity and population structure. • METHODS AND RESULTS Eleven microsatellite markers were developed. The number of alleles per locus ranged from one to seven, and genetic diversity per lo...

Morphological differences among Korean Allium subgenus Rhizirideum sect. Sacculiferum and some related species are minor, making species delimitation difficult. Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) was employed to assess genetic diversity and relationships. Thirty-four accessions, representing six taxa of A. thunbergii, A. sacculiferum, A. deltoides-fistulosum, A. cyaneum var. cyaneum, A. cyaneu...
