Several type C RNA-transforming viruses have been shown to contain acquired cellular sequences within preexisting viral genes (I-3). In many instances expression of proteins encoded by such sequences occurs by inphase read through of translation initiated at the 5' terminus of the viral genome. Resulting polyprotein translational products contain type C viral gag gene amino terminal structural ...

This paper has reported on the electrical and nonstructural of polymer-based materials in corporation NiO (Nickel oxide) in concentrations of 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.8% by weight of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) polymer. Nanocrystallites phases and properties were characterized with using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transfer infrared radiation (FTIR),Energy distribution X-ray(EDX) techniques and X-Map ...

We study entailment of structural and nonstructural recursive subtyping constraints. Constraints are formal inequalities between type expressions, interpreted over an ordered set of possibly infinite labeled trees. The nonstructural ordering on trees is the one introduced by Amadio and Cardelli for subtyping with recursive types. The structural ordering compares only trees with common shape. A ...

UNLABELLED Induction of membrane rearrangements in the cytoplasm of infected cells is a hallmark of positive-strand RNA viruses. These altered membranes serve as scaffolds for the assembly of viral replication factories (RFs). We have recently shown that hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection induces endoplasmic reticulum-derived double-membrane vesicles (DMVs) representing the major constituent of ...
