The Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) was detected in potato fields the Tokat province. coat protein (CP) sequences of AMV isolates from province were determined and compared with reference GenBank. Total nucleic acid (TNA) extracted plants positive results according to serological test results. Then, reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) performed using primer pair specific partial...

Abstract Previous studies suggested that Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV) modulations on pan‐Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) variability and prediction are model‐dependent. These results were mainly based SST forcing experiments in which AMV‐related anomalies prescribed. However, the AMV itself is also model‐dependent, but its influences Pacific remain unclear. Here, we use multi‐m...

We address the problem of detecting human violence in image sequences, such as fist fighting, kicking, hitting with objects, etc. To detect violence we rely on motion trajectory information and on orientation information of a person’s limbs. We define an Acceleration Measure Vector (AMV) composed of direction and magnitude of motion and we define jerk to be the temporal derivative of AMV. We pr...

A simple and sensitive technique for detection of reverse transcriptase (RT) activity in real time has been developed. The technique is based on continuous detection of the inorganic pyrophosphate formed in the RT-catalyzed reaction by a luminometric method. The technique has been used for continuous monitoring of RT-catalyzed DNA synthesis on both homo- and heteropolymeric templates. The assay...

Pressure support is a ventilatory mode, available with many microprocessor ventilators, which is patient-triggered, pressure-limited, and flow-cycled. This study compared the respiratory and hemodynamic effects of PS used as a stand-alone mode of ventilation with those of conventional patient-triggered, flow-cycled, assisted mechanical ventilation. Instruments for hemodynamic and respiratory me...

The Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV) modulates the North surface ocean and affects decadal climates over globe; its underlying mechanisms remain, however, under debate. In this study, we use a multi-model ensemble of transient past-millennium (850–1849) unperturbed preindustrial control simulations contributing to paleoclimate modeling intercomparison project—phase 4 (PMIP4) decompose AM...

We address the problem of detecting human violence in video, such as fist fighting, kicking, hitting with objects, etc. To detect violence we rely on motion trajectory information and on orientation information of a person’s limbs. We define an Acceleration Measure Vector (AMV) composed of direction and magnitude of motion and we define jerk to be the temporal derivative of AMV. We present resu...

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) was shown to use alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) RNAs as cap donors in vivo during a mixed infection in Nicotiana benthamiana. By use of nested reverse transcription-PCR, TSWV N and NSs mRNAs provided with capped leader sequences derived from all four AMV RNAs could be cloned and sequenced. The sequence specificity of the putative TSWV endonuclease involved is discus...

The 3* untranslated regions (UTRs) of alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) RNAs 1, 2, and 3 consist of a common 3*-terminal sequence of 145 nucleotides (nt) and upstream sequences of 18 to 34 nt that are unique for each RNA. The common sequence can be folded into five stem-loop structures, A to E, despite the occurrence of 22 nt differences between the three RNAs in this region. Exchange of the common se...

Previous studies from our laboratory have documented that the medial hypothalamic defensive system is critically involved in processing actual and contextual predatory threats, and that the dorsal premammillary nucleus (PMd) represents the hypothalamic site most responsive to predatory threats. Anatomical findings suggest that the PMd is in a position to modulate memory processing through a pro...
