Microwave staring correlated imaging (MSCI) achieves high resolution imaging results by employing the temporal-spatial independent radiation field. In MSCI, the imaging performance is determined by the independent degree of the radiation field. In this paper, a novel kind of ideal independent radiation field named the orthogonal radiation field (ORF) is constructed for MSCI. Firstly, a group of...

Sequence analysis of a 795 nucleotide region of the fish rhabdovirus viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV) genome revealed one complete and one partial ORF of 369 and 153 nucleotides, respectively. The latter ORF probably encodes the amino-terminal part of the L (polymerase) protein. The former ORF potentially encodes a 122 amino acid protein. The location of this ORF as well as the size ...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the immunogenicity and neutralizing activity of sheep pox virus (SPPV; genus Capripoxvirus, family Poxviridae) structural proteins as candidate subunit vaccines to control sheep pox disease. SPPV structural proteins were identified by sequence homology with proteins of vaccinia virus (VACV) strain Copenhagen. Four SPPV proteins (SPPV-ORF 060, SPPV-ORF 095, S...

EM: erythema multiforme INTRODUCTION Orf, also known as ecthyma contagiosum, contagious pustular dermatitis, infectious pustular dermatosis, ovine pustular dermatitis, and sore mouth, is a viral zoonotic disease resulting from the direct or indirect contact of damaged skin with infected animals. The virus is endemic in sheep and goats worldwide and manifests as an acute contagious skin conditio...

In this paper, we use a multivariate affine jump process to model the downgrade intensities for several categories of business sector in credit portfolios. Since multivariate affine jump structure enables us to consider self-exciting effects as well as mutually exciting effects, the model can explain the downgrade clusters observed in the Japanese market. Also, we propose a new credit derivativ...

We analyze the one-dimensional random walk of a particle on the right-half real line. The particles starts at x = k, for k > 0, and ends up at the origin. We solve for the probabilities of absorption at the origin by means of a geometric representation of this random walk in terms of paths on a two-dimensional lattice.

We have cloned and sequenced a 1.5-kb chromosomal fragment of Thermus thermophilus which promoted the overproduction of carotenoids in T. thermophilus. An open reading frame (ORF-A) coding for a polypeptide with 289 amino acids was responsible for carotenoid overproduction. The putative ORF-A protein showed significant homology with the amino acid sequences of crtB gene products (phytoene synth...

background parapox virus is the causative agent of orf disease which is basically seen in sheep and goats. it can betransferred to the human by direct contact with infected animals or indirect contact to infected meat or contaminated butchery instruments like knife. the skin lesions are usually found in fingers. patients totally, 11 subjects from five families infected with orf disease were sur...
