RNA editing of the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) antigenome at the amber/W site by the host RNA adenosine deaminase ADAR1 is a critical step in the HDV replication cycle. Editing is required for production of the viral protein hepatitis delta antigen long form (HDAg-L), which is necessary for viral particle production but can inhibit HDV RNA replication. The RNA secondary structural features in A...

In this paper, we propose a new neighborhood semantics for contingency logic, by introducing a simple property in standard neighborhood models. This simplifies the neighborhood semantics given in Fan and van Ditmarsch [4], but does not change the set of valid formulas. Under this perspective, among various notions of bisimulation and respective Hennessy-Milner Theorems, we show that c-bisimulat...

In spite of excellent corrosion resistance, good ductility and low cost of AISI 316 austenitic stainless steel, the low hardness and poor mechanical charecteristic of material restricts its applicability in several industrial services. To improve upon mechanical properties AlFeCuCrCoNi-WC10 high-entropy alloy coatings were deposited via laser cladding on austentic stainless steel AISI 316 subst...

Following the idea of $L$-fuzzy neighborhood system as introduced byFu-Gui Shi, and its generalization to $(L,M)$-fuzzy neighborhood system, the relationship between  $(L,M)$-fuzzy topology and $(L,M)$-fuzzy neighborhood system will be further studied. As an application of the obtained results, we will describe the initial structures of $(L,M)$-fuzzy neighborhood subspaces and $(L,M)$-fuzzy top...

The wound healing activity of ethanol extract of Terminalia bellirica Roxb. fruit was evaluated on excision and incision wound model, in albino rats, in the form of an ointment with two concentrations (2 and 4% w/w ointment) of fruit extract in simple ointment base. Both concentrations of the ethanol extract showed significant response in both the wound types tested when compared with the contr...

We consider digital expansions in lattices with endomorphisms acting as base. We focus on the w-non-adjacent form (w-NAF), where each block of w consecutive digits contains at most one non-zero digit. We prove that for su ciently large w and an expanding endomorphism, there is a suitable digit set such that each lattice element has an expansion as a w-NAF. If the eigenvalues of the endomorphism...

this study is concerned with the viability of producing biodiesel from waste beef bone fat and evaluate this product according to the quality requirements defined by astm d- 6751. accordingly, beef bone fat was heated to remove the moisture under vacuum at 60 . alkaline catalysed transesterfication was carried out by  using 6:1 molar ratio of ethanol to fat in the presence of 1% w/w sodium hydr...

A personal communications service/wide-band code division multiple access (PCS/W-CDMA) dual-band monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) power amplifier with a single-chip MMIC and a single-path output matching network is demonstrated by adopting a newly proposed on-chip linearizer. The linearizer is composed of the base–emitter diode of an active bias transistor and a capacitor to provi...

This study examined the ability of a photocatalyst mixed in a denture base resin to decompose organic substances which adhered to the denture base resin surface. The photocatalyst was mixed with denture base resin at concentrations of 0, 5, 10, and 15% (w/w). Decomposition test, bending test, and surface roughness measurement were performed at 1, 7, 30, 90, and 180 days after polymerization. De...
