In this paper, we study the plasmonic thermal conductance of ordered stacks of metallic nanorings in a host material. Using second quantized formalism of the Random Phase Approximation, we first determine the dispersion relations of surface plasmon waves on the stacks of nanorings. Then, using Landauer-Buttiker formalism, we determine the coefficient of plasmonic thermal conductance and heat cu...

Abstract: Potato virus Y a type species of the genus potyvirus infects several crops in the family solanaceae. PVY isolated from field infected peppers was identified on the basis of host reaction, serological and molecular characterization. The result of ELISA, Immunoblot electrophoresis and Immuno Capture Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction   (IC-RT-PCR) indicated that...

confocal laser scanning microscopy (clsm) is a revolutionary advance in the field of light microscopy which, in recent years, has been used on interaction studies between host and pathogen. this study carried out on the flag leaves of the susceptible spring wheat cultivar (triticum aestivum l.) known as thatcher and its near isogenic line with the yr-18 adult-plant resistance gene to stripe rus...

â â â â â  â  in this paper, we address the question that does fdi alone affect economic growth or interaction of fdi and human capital is required to boost economic growth. we develop the model with an expanding variety of products. we estimate the model using some advanced tests utilizing data on fdi flows from developed countries. we find stronger complementary effects between fdi and human ...

background: the herpes simplex virus (hsv) ul41 gene product, virion host shutoff (vhs) protein, mediates the rapid degradation of both viral and cellular mrna. this ability suggests that vhs protein can be used as a suicide gene in cancer gene therapy applications. the recent reports have shown that the degradation of cellular mrna during herpes simplex infection is selective. rna containing a...

purpose: to report the possible transmission of zygomycetes infection by a corneal graft harvested from a donor with signs of trauma to the orbital region to a keratoconic patient who underwent deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (dalk). case report: a 19-year-old keratoconic man underwent dalk in the right eye. the corneal graft was harvested from a donor with signs of orbital trauma. on posto...

rosy apple aphid, dysaphis plantaginea (passerini), with worldwide distribution is an important pest of apple orchards. host plant resistance is an essential component of integrated management of this insect pest. we investigated the resistance of seven apple cultivars, malus domestica (borkhausen), namely granny smith, starkrimson, golden smoothee, red delicious, golden delicious, boshghabi, a...
