Background: Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) from the Bromoviridae family, is one of the most widespread plant viruses in the world. Objectives: In the present study tomato fields in Guilan, Isfahan, Khorasan Razavi, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces were surveyed to determine the presence of CMV subgroups during 2011-2012. Materials and Methods: Out of 305 symptomatic leaf samples ...

Perfect isometries and isotypies are constructed for alternating groups between blocks with abelian defect groups and the Brauer correspondents of these blocks. These perfect isometries and isotypies satisfy additional compatibility conditions which imply that an extended Broué conjecture holds for the principal block of an almost simple group with an abelian Sylow psubgroup and a generalized F...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the vertical discrepancy of implant-supported crown structures constructed with vacuum-casting and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technologies, and luted with different cement types. STUDY DESIGN Crown copings were fabricated using: (1) direct metal laser sintered Co-Cr (LS); (2) vacuum-cast Co-Cr (CC); and (3) vacuum-cast Ti (CT). Frameworks were ...

The conventional chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) phenotype assay was conducted using 11-day-old embryonatic eggs of white Leghorn strains, each inoculated with 0.2 ml of subgroup A Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and subgroup C RSV separately containing 10(3)pfu ml(-1). Eggs were further incubated for hatching. Harvesting of CAMs for counting of pocks and monitoring chicks for liver tumour (LT) mortali...

Suppose that a finite group G admits a Frobenius group of automorphisms FH of coprime order with cyclic kernel F and complement H such that the fixed point subgroup CG(H) of the complement is nilpotent of class c. It is proved that G has a nilpotent characteristic subgroup of index bounded in terms of c, |CG(F )|, and |F | whose nilpotency class is bounded in terms of c and |H| only. This gener...

A theorem of Dolfi, Herzog, Kaplan, and Lev \cite[Thm.~C]{DHKL} asserts that in a finite group with trivial Fitting subgroup, the size soluble residual is bounded from below by certain power order, inequality sharp. Inspired this result some arguments \cite{DHKL}, we establish following generalisation: if $\mathfrak{X}$ subgroup-closed formation full characteristic which does not contain all gr...

We propose a Bayesian model for clustered outliers in multiple regression. In the literature, outliers are frequently modeled as coming from a subgroup where the variance of the errors is much larger than in the rest of the data. By contrast, when a cluster of outliers exists, we show that it can be more informative to model them as coming from a subgroup where different regression coefficients...
