Background: Avian reovirus (ARV) has a global distribution in nature and most clinical signs are found in broiler type chickens. Aims: This study was conducted to detect and identify reovirus infections from vaccinated breeder chickens and their progenies. Methods: A total of 20 tissue and blood samples were collected from vaccinated broiler br...

We investigate the origin of undesirable transverse cracks often observed in thin films obtained by the layer transfer technique. During this process, two crystals bonded to each other containing a weak plan produced by ion implantation are heated to let a thin layer of one of the material on the other. The level of stress imposed on the film during the heating phase due to the mismatch of ther...

Experiments were carried out on four cell types: Chlorella sp., Tetraselmis sp., and mesophyll protoplasts of Dendrobium and Lilium longiflorum. The speed of cell translation in between a pair of cylindrical electrodes was measured at different solution conductivities (σs). For each field frequency, the speed was plotted against the gradient of electric field squared to obtain the real part Re[...

We study one-photon transitions between heavy baryon states in the framework of a relativistic three-quark model. We calculate the one-photon transition rates for ground-state to ground-state transitions and for some specific excited state to ground-state transitions. Our rate predictions for the most important transitions are: Γ(Σc → Λc γ) = 60.7 ± 1.5 KeV, Γ(Ξ + c → Ξc γ) = 12.7 ± 1.5 KeV, Γ(...

Abstract The interactions of D̄Σc-D̄Λc, D̄ Σc-D̄ Λc, and related strangeness channels, are studied within the framework of the coupled channel unitary approach with the local hidden gauge formalism. A series of meson-baryon dynamically generated relatively narrowN∗ and Λ∗ resonances are predicted around 4.3 GeV in the hidden charm sector. We make estimates of production cross sections of these pred...

Avian reovirus (ARV) infection is a ubiquitous disease of poultry, affecting mostly broiler breeds. Pathogenic effects of ARV such as arthritis and tenosynovitis are attributed to significant economic losses to poultry industry. ARV is classified under genus Orthoreovirus of family Reoviridae (Van Regenmortel et al., 2000). The genome of ARV encodes at least ten structural proteins (λA, λB, λC,...

The progress of construction and safe production in mining, water conservancy, tunnels, other types deep underground engineering is seriously affected by rockburst disasters. This makes it essential to accurately predict intensity. In this paper, the ratio maximum tangential stress surrounding rock uniaxial compressive strength (σθ/σc), tensile (σc/σt), elastic energy index (Wet) were chosen as...

The first-order phase transition in the one-dimensional q-state Potts model with long-range interactions decaying with distance as 1 r1 σ, has been studied by Monte Carlo numerical simulations for 0 σ 1 and integer values of q 2. On the basis of the finite-size scaling analysis of interface free energy ∆FL, specific heat and Binder’s fourth order cumulant, we obtain the first-order transition w...

In this chapter, we develop the criterion for successful layer transfer from a thin film mechanics standpoint. To insure proper thin film exfoliation, samples of lithium niobate were implanted with hydrogen and helium based on the criterion developed in Chapter 3. The analysis of transverse cracks, often observed in thin films obtained by the layer transfer technique, is done for films in a sta...
