Plant viral movement proteins (MPs) enable viruses to pass through cell walls by increasing the size exclusion limit (SEL) of plasmodesmata (PD). Here, we report that the ability of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) MP to increase the SEL of the PD could be inhibited by treatment with the actin filament (F-actin)-stabilizing agent phalloidin but not by treatment with the F-actin-destabilizing agent l...

The present paper deals with the perception of Iranian EFL teachers and learners in using humor language classrooms. To this end, 10 English classes a population 70 female male students 5 institutes Esfahan were observed during spring summer 2019. Using an ethnographic approach, data collected through observation interview. results showed that both had positive attitude towards use L2 classroom...

Background Combination of selumetinib plus docetaxel provided clinical benefit in a previous phase II trial for patients with KRAS-mutant advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The phase II SELECT-2 trial investigated safety and efficacy of selumetinib plus docetaxel for patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Patients and methods Patients who had disease progression after first-lin...

Juvenile Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, were exposed to simulated high intensity pile driving signals to evaluate their ability to recover from barotrauma injuries. Fish were exposed to one of two cumulative sound exposure levels for 960 pile strikes (217 or 210 dB re 1 µPa(2)·s SEL(cum); single strike sound exposure levels of 187 or 180 dB re 1 µPa(2)⋅s SEL(ss) respectively). This w...

Ligands present on neighboring cells activate receptors of the LIN-12/Notch family by inducing a proteolytic cleavage event that releases the intracellular domain. Mutations that appear to eliminate sel-5 activity are able to suppress constitutive activity of lin-12(d) mutations that are point mutations in the extracellular domain of LIN-12, but cannot suppress lin-12(intra), the untethered int...

The risk of effects to fishes and other aquatic life from impulsive sound produced by activities such as pile driving and seismic exploration is increasing throughout the world, particularly with the increased exploitation of oceans for energy production. At the same time, there are few data that provide insight into the effects of these sounds on fishes. The goal of this study was to provide q...

the current study intended to investigate the effectiveness of cooperative learning on math anxiety, attitude toward mathematics, and academic achievement of female high school students. the study method was experimental and was conducted by pretest-posttest design with the control group. the population included all female high school students (second year) who were studying experimental scienc...
