The Epstein-Barr virus early protein EB2 (also called BMLF1, Mta, or SM), which allows the nuclear export of a subset of early and late viral mRNAs derived from intronless genes, is essential for the production of infectious virions. An important feature of mRNA export factors is their capacity to shuttle continuously between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. In a previous study, we identified a n...

The transient dynamics of a beam mounted on springer-damper support and equipped with a nonlinear energy sink (NES) is investigated under the effects of shock loads. The equations of motion are derived using the Hamilton’s principle leading to four hybrid ordinary and partial differential equations and descritized using the Galerkin method. An adaptive Newmark method is employed for accurate an...

A nonlinear energy sink (NES) is characterized by its ability to passively realize targeted energy transfer as well as multimodal damping. This latter feature seems to make this device very well suited for reducing the vibration level of MDOF linear structures. The perspective of dealing with MDOF linear primary structures requires the development of an efficient NES design procedure. This pape...

Van Nes rotationplasty is a reconstructive and salvage procedure of the lower limb. The technique replaces the amputated thigh and knee with an autologus biological 'prosthesis', the patient's own ipsilateral ankle, which is rotated 180 degrees and fixed at the level of the contralateral knee. This procedure was first adapted by Borggreve of Germany in 1930 to treat a knee joint destroyed by tu...

Extracellular matrix (ECM)-based implantable neural electrodes (NEs) were achieved using a microfabrication strategy on naturalsubstrate-based organic materials. The ECM-based design minimized the introduction of non-natural products into the brain. Further, it rendered the implants sufficiently rigid for penetration into the target brain region and allowed them subsequently to soften to match ...

Performance measurement (PM) is essential for managing networked enterprises (NEs) because it greatly affects the effectiveness of collaboration among members of NE. PM in NE requires somewhat different approaches from PM in a single enterprise because of heterogeneity, dynamism, and complexity of NE’s. This paper introduces a generic framework of PM in NE (we call it NEPM) based on the Balance...

The influence of negative-energy states (NES) on forbidden magnetic-dipole ns1 2 2 n 1 1 s1 2 transitions in alkali-metal atoms is investigated. We find that the NES contributions are significant in almost all cases and, for rubidium, reduce the transition rate by a factor of 8. We tabulate magnetic-dipole M1 transition amplitudes for the alkalis. Our M1 value for cesium, where accurate measure...

Translation of named-entities (NEs) is an issue in SMT. In this paper we analyze the errors when translating NEs with a SMT system from English to Spanish. We train on Europarl and test on News Commentary, focusing on entities correctly recognized by an automatic NE recognition system. The automatic systems translate around 85% NEs correctly, leaving a small margin for improving performance. In...

Les pŽtroles bruts contiennent de nombreux constituants Ñ dont les asphaltnes Ñ qui peuvent tre adsorbŽs sur les surfaces minŽrales et modifier leurs caractŽristiques de mouillage. Ce qui distingue les asphaltnes des autres constituants de l'huile est leur tendance ˆ s'agrŽger et mme ˆ se sŽparer du pŽtrole en rŽaction ˆ des modifications du pouvoir solvant du pŽtrole. Du fait qu'ils change...
