Plant viruses classified in the genus Waikavirus , family Secoviridae are positive sense single-stranded RNA that include important pathogens of maize (maize chlorotic dwarf virus; MCDV) and rice (rice tungro spherical RTSV). Many aspects molecular biology waikaviruses remain unexplored because experimental challenges lack infectious clones for low titer, phloem-limited, obligately vector-trans...

The hypothesis that the association between flow proneness and Big Five personality traits is primarily at level of general factor (GFP) was tested. By reanalyzing data from a previous study, analyzing collected convenience sample, support found for hypothesis. results suggest may be an additional construct could added to nomological network constructs are strongly associated with GFP.

We approximate the double Λ hypernuclei by systems composed by two interacting Λ’s moving in the mean field potential created by the nuclear cores. The Λ-core potentials are adjusted to reproduce the binding energies of the corresponding single Λ hypernuclei [1]. A σ-ω meson exchange potential [2] is used for the Λ-Λ interaction. We apply both the Hartree-Fock (HF) and variational approximation...

Effluents from wastewater treatment works (WwTW) exhibit both temporal and spatial variation in oestrogenicity, however few studies have attempted to quantify how this affects biological responses fish. Here we used an oestrogen-responsive green fluorescent protein (ERE-GFP) transgenic zebrafish (Danio rerio) oestrogenic activity health effects for exposure three different WwTW effluents. Endpo...

Objective(s): Neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PCs) hold a great potential for delivery of therapeutic agents into the injured regions of the brain. Efficient gene delivery using NS/PCs may correct a genetic defect, produce therapeutic proteins or neurotransmitters, and modulate enzyme activation. Here, we investigated the efficiency of a recombinant lentivirus vector ...

consider an n × n matrix polynomial p(λ). a spectral norm distance from p(λ) to the set of n × n matrix polynomials that havea given scalar µ ∈ c as a multiple eigenvalue was introducedand obtained by papathanasiou and psarrakos. they computedlower and upper bounds for this distance, constructing an associated perturbation of p(λ). in this paper, we extend this resultto the case of two given di...
