Ectromelia virus (ECTV) is an orthopoxvirus whose natural host is the mouse; it is related closely to Variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, and Monkeypox virus, the cause of an emerging zoonosis. The recent sequencing of its genome, along with an effective animal model, makes ECTV an attractive model for the study of poxvirus pathogenesis, antiviral and vaccine testing and viral immun...

A review of previous papers makes it evident that mental disorder is considered to be the product of multiple factors. The present paper is in harmony with this orientation, and its title, which was assigned to us, should not be interpreted as implying ideas of mono-causal relationship. The discussion of our topic will be necessarily limited and selective, since talking about culture in its glo...

We discuss the possible detection of a stochastic background of massive, nonrelativistic scalar particles, through the cross correlation of the two LIGO interferometers in the initial, enhanced and advanced configuration. If the frequency corresponding to the mass of the scalar field lies in the detector sensitivity band, and the non-relativistic branch of the spectrum gives a significant contr...
