Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri Kuwayama) transmits a bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas) putatively responsible for a devastating citrus disease known as Asiatic huanglongbing (HLB) (citrus greening disease). The psyllid and disease have invaded many citrus-growing regions including the United States, where the disease is seriously jeopardizing the Florida citrus indust...

Research on cache attacks has shown that CPU caches leak significant information. Proposed detection mechanisms assume that all cache attacks cause more cache hits and cache misses than benign applications and use hardware performance counters for detection. In this article, we show that this assumption does not hold by developing a novel attack technique: the Flush+Flush attack. The Flush+Flus...

The cell plate of higher plants is formed within a ribosome-excluding cell plate assembly matrix. Phragmoplast microtubules facilitate cell-plate formation by forming a scaffold that directs Golgi-derived vesicles to the forming cell plate. Here, we analyse the effects of the cell-plate assembly matrix on phragmoplast microtubule plus-end geometry by electron tomography of cryogenically fixed A...

The activity and properties of cholinesterase of the motor end plate in human intercostal muscle were studied in the isolated muscle membrane. This preparation was used because cholinesterase activity of the membrane preparation was localized in the motor end plate without contamination of cholinesterase of other muscle components. Under the experimental conditions, cholinesterase in a human en...

End-plate membrane has been examined at amphibian myoneural junctions by means of transmission electron microscopy of thin tissue sections. The postjunctional membrane exhibits morphologically specialized dense, convex patches which are located superficially facing the axon terminal but do not extend into the depths of the junctional folds. In the specialized regions the plasma membrane is appr...

STUDY DESIGN Using fresh cadavers, the biomechanical testing were used to examine the pullout strength of each pedicle screw. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate pullout strength of (1) a redirected pedicle screw following lateral wall breach; (2) a redirected pedicle screw following end-plate breach; and (3) a pedicle without redirection after end-plate breach without redirection...

Abstract This paper investigates the influence of typical gravity connections on seismic demands steel concentrically braced frame (CBF) buildings with friction dampers as dissipative floor connectors. The investigated include (i) shear tab, (ii) clip angle, (iii) flush end‐plate and (iv) tab bottom T‐stub. It is shown that behavior framing system (GFS) practically insensitive to connection typ...

The reaction kinetics for drug blockade of postsynaptic channels at the mouse neuromuscular junction were studied. The activation energies associated with the onward and off-rate constants, from a sequential model, were measured for procaine, scopolamine, octanol, and heptanol, and from these the transition state thermodynamic parameters of free energy (AG$), enthalpy (AHI), and entropy (ASS) o...
