مگس مینوز سبزی و صیفی Liriomyza sativae Blanchard ، از مهم­ترین آفات ‌های گلخانه ای فضای باز، محسوب می شود. با توجه به توصیه کاربرد حشره­ کش تیوسیکلام جهت مدیریت آفت مزبور، در پژوهش حاضر، اثرات کشندگی زیرکشندگی(5/131:LC30، 1/87:LC20، 15/49:LC10 میلی گرم ماده موثره بر لیتر) حشره ­کش (اویسکت®SP50%) روی فراسنجه ­های زیستی این شرایط آزمایشگاهی مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفت. روش استفاده انجام آزمایش­ها غوط...

Vibrio tasmaniensis LGP32, a facultative intracellular pathogen of oyster haemocytes, was shown here to release outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) both in the extracellular milieu and inside haemocytes. Intracellular release of OMVs occurred inside phagosomes of intact haemocytes having phagocytosed few vibrios as well as in damaged haemocytes containing large vacuoles heavily loaded with LGP32. Th...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Determine the feasibility and accuracy of using virtual surgical planning (VSP) to direct the surgical and polysomnography (PSG) outcomes of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). STUDY DESIGN Prospective case series. METHODS Skeletal and soft tissue dimensions were measured from computed tomography (CT) to include posterior airway space (PAS) diameters at the oc...

We derive an approximate equation combining the quality factor Q, the traveltime of a wave, and the variation of the instantaneous frequency (IF) at the envelope peaks of two successive seismic wavelets, along the wave propagating direction, based on the theory of one-way wave propagation in a 1D viscoelastic medium. We then propose a method (called the WEPIF method) to estimate Q by measuring ...

The Security Process Algebra (SPA) is a CCS-like specification language where actions belong to two different levels of confidentiality. It has been used to define several noninterference-like security properties whose verification has been automatized by means of the tool CoSeC. In recent years, a method for analyzing security protocols using SPA and CoSeC has been developed. Even if it has be...

For vertical-seismic-profiling (VSP) measurements, the use of blended acquisition, with time-overlapping shot records, can greatly reduce the downtime and, thereby, provide large cost savings. For directly imaging blended VSP measurements, we have used full-wavefield migration (FWM). FWM is an inversion-based imaging scheme that enables us to use any kind of complex source wavefield to estimate...

Voltage-sensitive phosphatases (VSPs) are unique proteins in which membrane potential controls enzyme activity. They are comprised of the voltage sensor domain of an ion channel coupled to a lipid phosphatase specific for phosphoinositides, and for ascidian and zebrafish VSPs, the phosphatase activity has been found to be activated by membrane depolarization. The physiological functions of thes...

It has been reported that mumps virus protein V or the C-terminal Cys-rich region of protein V (Vsp) is associated with blocking of the interferon (IFN) signal transduction pathway through a decrease in STAT-1 production. The intracellular target of the V protein was investigated by using a two-hybrid screening system with Vsp as bait. Full-length V protein and Vsp were able to bind to RACK1, a...

Reliable, accurate and noninvasive methods for measuring lung function in infants are desirable. Electromagnetic inductance plethysmography has been used to perform infant spirometry and VoluSense Pediatrics (VSP) (VoluSense, Bergen, Norway) represents an updated version of this technique. We aimed to examine its accuracy compared to a validated system measuring airflow via a facemask using an ...
