Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) was isolated from 14 out of 35 wild house mouse samples captured on two piers of Osaka port in Japan. Four of them were isolated from were isolated from 18 antibody positive mice while 10 were from 17 antibody negative mice. This is the first report of the isolation of LCMV from wild mice in Japan.

The Coastal area of Nazhvan is located at the riverside of Zayandehrūd River in the western part of Isfahan. In the gardens of this area which are mostly orchards, woodlands full of fruitless trees, owners have constructed architectural spaces and pavilions. One of the prominent architectural spaces within this territory is a mill known as “Asyāb-e Nazhvān or Hājjī”. There stands a two-floor pa...

In this work, we present a study on the sensing of chemical molecules with Au nanoparticles coated ZnO film by employing photo-induced enhanced Raman scattering (PIERS) coupled to surface-enhanced (SERS). Moreover, interest coupling PIERS classical SERS (electromagnetic contribution) is achieve high sensitivity detection. our employed thiophenol molecule for its quality adsorption metals and sm...

Prestressed segmental precast (PC) piers, with insufficient energy dissipation capacity, are seldomly adopted on bridges in seismic areas. To improve the performance of PC this study proposes a functional separation isolation device (FSID), serving as supplementary replaceable device. Full-scale field load tests real-world pier were carried out to qualify type piers. Based results and numerical...
