Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is a novel phlebovirus responsible for causing an emerging zoonotic disease. We previously established subclones from SFTSV strain YG1 based on differences in low-pH-dependent cell fusion activities and found two amino acid substitutions, Y328H and R624W, in the envelope glycoprotein (GP) of high fusion subclones. In this study, we show ...

There is new evidence which identifies seasonal changes of the variability time scale in IDV-sources with refractive interstellar scintillation effects. Such a RISSmodel takes the annual change of the Earth velocity relative to the scattering medium into account. In September 1998 we found a remarkable prolongation of the variability time scale in the IDV-source 0917+624 with only small variati...

Physical tests and selection criteria have historically been used by many military organizations. However, the standards associated with them have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. This paper describes a series of experiments that were conducted to establish task-related occupational tests and standards (TBTs) for Royal Naval (RN) personnel. A total of 172 (106 male and 66 female)...
