Abstract Purpose Corporal punishment (CP) and physical abuse (PA) in childhood are associated with increased risk of child-to-parent violence (CPV). Without context discipline (i.e., the intention behavior change, use reasonable force), both CP PA represent force against a child. It is still unclear if their associations CPV similar when they co-occur, or occur isolation. The current study exam...

Viral protein 2 (VP2) of canine parvovirus (CPV) exhibits a high degree genetic and antigenic diversity. We analyzed 88 Vietnamese CPV-VP2 sequences (1755 bp), 34 from this study 54 previous studies, discovered new sublineage, “new var.”, within the lineage CPV-2c-“new”, characterized by mutation 5G/447M, which is restricted to isolates. These mutants appear have emerged in recent years, accoun...

Appropriation of signalling pathways facilitates poxvirus replication. Poxviruses, as do most viruses, try to modify the host cell environment to achieve favourable replication conditions. In the present study, we show that the early growth response 1 gene (egr-1) is one of the host cell factors intensely modulated by the orthopoxviruses VV (vaccinia virus) and CPV (cowpox virus). These viruses...

CP violation (CPV ) was first observed nearly 40 years ago in the form of mixing-induced CPV in neutral kaon decays [1]. With the the recent confirmation of the observation of direct CP violation in neutral kaon decays [2], only CPV due to the interference between mixing and decay remains to be observed. With the advent of the asymmetric B-factories, this phenomenon may soon be observed with a ...

The nonstructural (ns) proteins nsP1 to -4, the components of Semliki Forest virus (SFV) RNA polymerase, were localized in infected cells by confocal microscopy using double labeling with specific antisera against the individual ns proteins. All ns proteins were associated with large cytoplasmic vacuoles (CPV), the inner surfaces of which were covered by small invaginations, or spherules, typic...

OBJECTIVES We evaluated whether the angiotensin II (Ang II) receptors from perioperation through one-year post-transplantation predict the transplant coronary artery disease (TCAD) progression. BACKGROUND The role of Ang II receptors (type 1: AT(1)R; type 2: AT(2)R) in TCAD is uncertain. METHODS We investigated 28 heart donors and the corresponding recipients. The levels of AT(1)R and AT(2)...

Using real-time PCR, we tested 15 wolf (Canis lupus) feces from the Superior National Forest (SNF), Minnesota, USA, and 191 from Yellowstone National Park (YNP), USA, collected during summer and 13 during winter for canine parvovirus (CPV)-2 DNA. We also tested 20 dog feces for CPV-2 DNA. The PCR assay was 100% sensitive and specific with a minimum detection threshold of 10(4) 50% tissue cultur...

Multijunction solar cells present a certain reflectivity on its surface that lowers its light absorption. This reflectivity produces a loss in electrical efficiency and thus a loss in global energy production for CPV systems. We present here an optical design for recovering this portion of reflected light, and thus leading to a system efficiency increase. This new design is based on an external...
