Until 2001, H6N1 influenza viruses in the Hong Kong bird markets were represented by a single stable A/teal/Hong Kong/W312/97-like lineage. Beginning in 2001, despite a reduction in overall prevalence, an increase was observed in the number of H6 viruses isolated from chickens and other hosts. To assess any changes in H6 viruses, we characterized 18 H6 viruses isolated in the Hong Kong bird mar...

efficient use of natural and biological cycles such as nitrogen fixation by legumes may stimulate yield of non-legumes crops in an intercropped system. in order to evaluate spring barley (h) and annual alfalfa (m) intercropping, a study was conducted in the research field of university of tehran (located in karaj) during 2009-2010 growing season. in this research, a randomized complete block de...

Face-to-face speech data collection has been next to impossible globally due COVID-19 restrictions. To address this problem, simultaneous recordings of three repetitions the cardinal vowels were made using a Zoom H6 Handy Recorder with external microphone (henceforth H6) and compared two alternatives accessible potential participants at home: meeting application Zoom) lossless mobile phone appl...

A non-standard quantum deformation of the two-photon algebra h6 is constructed, and its quantum universal R-matrix is given. Representations of this new quantum algebra are studied on the Fock space and translated into Fock–Bargmann realizations that provide a direct formalism for the definition of deformed states of light. Finally, the isomorphism between h6 and the (1+1) Schrödinger algebra i...

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of an H6N6 avian influenza virus (AIV) isolated from Sansui Sheldrake ducks in Guizhou Province, China, in 2014. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the H6N6 virus was a reassortant virus derived from three different H6 subtype lineages. The finding of this study will help us understand the epidemiology and the evolutionary characteristics of H6 subtyp...

Understanding protein amyloidogenesis is an important topic in protein science, fueled by the role of amyloid aggregates, especially oligomers, in the etiology of a number of devastating human degenerative diseases. However, the mechanisms that determine the formation of amyloid oligomers remain elusive due to the high complexity of the amyloidogenesis process. For instance, gold nanoparticles ...

A humanoid robot \H6" is developed as a platform for the research on perception-action coupling in intelligent behaviour of humanoid type robots. The H6 has the features as follows : 1) body which has enough DOFs and each joint has enough torque for full body motion, 2) PC/AT compatible high-performance onboard computer which is controlled by RT-linux so that from low-level to high-level contro...

The paper describes the humanoid robot \H6", which was designed to serve as a platform for experimental research on the development of advanced humanoid-type robots. The key features of the design of H6 include: 1) complete, 35-DOF human-shaped body with joints having sufcient torque to support full-body motion, 2) high-performance PC/AT compatible on-board computer running RT-Linux, a real-tim...
