Tospoviruses are among the most devastating viruses of horticultural and field crops. Capsicum chlorosis virus (CaCV) has emerged as an important pathogen of capsicum and tomato in Australia and South-east Asia. Present knowledge about CaCV protein functions in host cells is lacking. We determined intracellular localization and interactions of CaCV proteins by live plant cell imaging to gain in...

Snail-like transcription factors affect stem cell function through mechanisms that are incompletely understood. In the Caenorhabditis elegans neurosecretory motor neuron (NSM) neuroblast lineage, CES-1 Snail coordinates cell cycle progression and cell polarity to ensure the asymmetric division of the NSM neuroblast and the generation of two daughter cells of different sizes and fates. We have p...

To ensure the re-use of domain ontologies the usual approach relies on a pivot language, e.g., Kif, into and from which the domain ontology is translated. This requires several distinct translators for the diierent target Knowledge Based System (KBS). We propose a solution which uses a unique translator whatever the target KBS, Description Logic, objects or frames. It relies on a Domain Ontolog...

In this paper, we compare the results of the modeling of a protoplanetary disk chemical evolution obtained with the UMIST95 and “New Standard Model” (NSM) chemical databases. Assuming the same initial conditions, it is found that the substitution of one chemical network by another causes almost no difference for the disk ionization degree. In contrast, the NSM and UMIST95 abundances of CO can d...

This paper offers a metalanguage to describe the nature of choosing the syntactic position of a causee in causative constructions, focusing on transitive constructions in nominative-accusative languages, with some comments on ergative languages. The generalization of Comrie's hypothesis about the causee's position is also given in terms of this metalanguage. Several statements pretending to be ...

This article presents results of an investigation that focuses on assessing bondline strength carbon/epoxy fiber reinforced polymeric (CFRP) precured strips embedded in concrete for near-surface-mounting (NSM) strengthening applications. In this study, experimental evaluation and nonlinear numerical analysis CFRP/concrete interfacial bond behavior are investigated. 15 pull-out tests were perfor...
