For N ≥ 3 and p > 1, we consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation i∂tw +∆xw + V (x) |w|p−1 w = 0 where w = w(t, x) : R× R → C with a potential V that decays at infinity like |x|−b for some b ∈ (0, 2). A standing wave is a solution of the form w(t, x) = eu(x) where λ > 0 and u : R → R. For 1 < p < 1 + (4− 2b)/(N − 2), we establish the existence of a C1-branch of standing waves parametrized by ...

UNLABELLED The Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) 2b protein is an RNA-silencing suppressor that plays roles in CMV accumulation and virulence. The 2b proteins of subgroup IA CMV strains partition between the nucleus and cytoplasm, but the biological significance of this is uncertain. We fused an additional nuclear localization signal (NLS) to the 2b protein of subgroup IA strain Fny-CMV to create 2b-...

Backgrounds: Canine parvovirus (CPV) has been incriminated as a primary pathogen related to acute hemorrhagic enteritis in dogs. Three major antigenic variants of CPV (CPV-2a/2b/2c) have so far been identified. Objectives: This study was carried out to investigate the frequency of CPV-2 and its variants (CPV-2a/2b/2c) in a population of healthy and diarrheic dogs in the north west of Iran. Meth...

Let G be a graph of sufficiently large order n, and let a and b be integers with 1 ≤ a ≤ b. Let h : E(G) → [0, 1] be a function. If a ≤ ∑x∈e h(e) ≤ b holds for any x ∈ V (G), then G[Fh] is called a fractional [a, b]-factor of G with indicator function h, where Fh = {e ∈ E(G) | h(e) > 0}. A graph G is fractional independent-set-deletable [a, b]-factor-critical (simply, fractional ID-[a, b]-facto...

a-2b interferon (a-2b IFN). administered at 2 x i0 U/m2 three times per week is highly effective in the treatment of progressive hairy cell leukemia (HCL) and in the retreatment of patients who have relapsed after previous IFN therapy. To determine if a lower interferon dose would induce a comparable antileukemic effect with less toxicity. a-2b IFN was administered at 2 x i0 U/m2 subcutaneously...

background : insulin-like growth factor-1 can act in both an autocrine and paracrine manner to promote normal growth and malignant cellular proliferation. the importance of this factor as a major regulatory peptide has been established for cells, in vitro and in vivo. however, the role of serum insulin-like growth factor-1 levels in the etiology of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate canc...

The Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) 2b protein is a counter-defense factor and symptom determinant. Conserved domains in the 2b protein sequence were mutated in the 2b gene of strain Fny-CMV. The effects of these mutations were assessed by infection of Nicotiana tabacum, N. benthamiana, and Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Col-0) with mutant viruses and by expression of mutant 2b transgenes in A. thal...
