Tospoviruses are among the most devastating viruses of horticultural and field crops. Capsicum chlorosis virus (CaCV) has emerged as an important pathogen of capsicum and tomato in Australia and South-east Asia. Present knowledge about CaCV protein functions in host cells is lacking. We determined intracellular localization and interactions of CaCV proteins by live plant cell imaging to gain in...

Snail-like transcription factors affect stem cell function through mechanisms that are incompletely understood. In the Caenorhabditis elegans neurosecretory motor neuron (NSM) neuroblast lineage, CES-1 Snail coordinates cell cycle progression and cell polarity to ensure the asymmetric division of the NSM neuroblast and the generation of two daughter cells of different sizes and fates. We have p...

In this paper, we compare the results of the modeling of a protoplanetary disk chemical evolution obtained with the UMIST95 and “New Standard Model” (NSM) chemical databases. Assuming the same initial conditions, it is found that the substitution of one chemical network by another causes almost no difference for the disk ionization degree. In contrast, the NSM and UMIST95 abundances of CO can d...

This article presents results of an investigation that focuses on assessing bondline strength carbon/epoxy fiber reinforced polymeric (CFRP) precured strips embedded in concrete for near-surface-mounting (NSM) strengthening applications. In this study, experimental evaluation and nonlinear numerical analysis CFRP/concrete interfacial bond behavior are investigated. 15 pull-out tests were perfor...

This study presents the results of an experimental program to investigate the effectiveness of an innovative combined FRP technique using combination of externally bonded (EB) FRP fabrics and near surface mounted (NSM) FRP rods for flexural strengthening of existing reinforced concrete (RC) two-wayslabs with low clear cover thickness. Three full-scale RC slabs (1500×1500×120 mm) were tested und...

An Integral Nested Sliding Mode Control (INSMC) is proposed for n-link robotic manipulators tracking problem by employing Integral Sliding Mode (ISM) and Nested Sliding Mode (NSM) concepts. This controller has the robustness of NSM against matched and no matched perturbations, and the capability of ISM to reduce the sliding functions gains. Application to a two-link planar robot manipulator is ...
