In this work, a method for solving the differential form of the radiative transfer equation was implemented into an existing three-dimensional thermal-hydraulic computer program known as TEMPEST. The method used was the P-l approximation, where the angular distribution of the radiation intensity is represented by a truncated series of spherical...
Vaccinia virus (VV) encodes at least six proteins that are modified by the addition of a 14-carbon saturated fatty acid through an amide linkage and at least eight proteins that are modified post-translationally by the addition of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid through linkage to cysteine residues. These post-translational modifications...
The biology of the two external Acarapis mites of honey bees,
Acarapis dorsalis Morgenthaler and Acarapis externus Morgenthaler
was studied. It was observed that both Acarapis species have similar
developmental period (8-9 days) with males emerging earlier than
females.
Mite load and infestation rate of A. dorsalis decreased as bees...
It was previously shown that vaccinia virus is unable to complete its replicative cycle in cells that have been subjected to cytochalasin-B mediated enucleation prior to infection. Likewise, in the presence of the drug α-amanitin, a potent inhibitor of host RNA polymerase II but not of viral transcription, the replication...
Intensive observations were made of play behavior in the
young hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) from 14 to 54 days of age.
Behavior was recorded using movie film and a multi-channel event
recorder.
Play was first seen at 14 days of age. The amount of play
increased rapidly thereafter, remaining relatively high...
The F13L protein is the major envelope antigen of vaccinia virus, the prototypic member of the Orthopoxvirus genus. F13L is 372 residues in length and is essential for the formation of wrapped forms of virus. F13L contains a number of potential functional domains including a palmitylation site, a phospholipase domain...

The F13L protein is the major envelope antigen of vaccinia virus
Vaccinia virus (VV) is a large double-stranded DNA virus that is a prototypic member of the orthopoxvirus family. Previous works has showed that three of the major structural proteins found within the mature VV virion core 4a, 4b, and 25K are produced from higher molecular weight precursors at late times...
