Actinomycin D, at a concentration that inhibits cellular ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis, inhibited the production of foot-and-mouth disease virus-induced RNA polymerase in baby hamster kidney cells. Inhibition was proportional to exposure time and reached 85% when actinomycin D was added 90 min before infection. Polymerase production was inhibited to the same extent in growth and minimal medi...

The acoustic coupling between the voice production system and the vocal tract has a significant influence on the production of voice. In this study, the coupling effect was represented using the acoustic pressure difference across the glottis, which is capable of inducing a flow, and the mean acoustic pressure in the glottis, which acts as a driving force for the vocal folds. These specific aco...

• How large of an effect can the temporal variation of wind power have on the value of wind in different wind resource areas? • Which locations are affected most positively or negatively by the seasonal and diurnal timing of wind speeds? • How compatible are wind resources in the Pacific Northwest and California with wholesale power prices and loads in either region? • Can modeled/estimated win...

Food production requires application of fertilizers containing phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium on agricultural fields in order to sustain crop yields. However modern agriculture is dependent on phosphorus derived from phosphate rock, which is a non-renewable resource and current global reserves may be depleted in 50–100 years. While phosphorus demand is projected to increase, the expected gl...

To achieve global sustainable development and actively respond to climate change, China, as the world’s largest energy consumer carbon emitter, needs save reduce emissions without delay. By constructing LEAP-China production-side consumption-side models, we predict of China’s production side consumption in different scenarios from 2020 2050, respectively. The results show that under current pol...
