Marburg virus (MARV) is a lipid-enveloped negative sense single stranded RNA virus, which can cause a deadly hemorrhagic fever.MARV encodes seven proteins, including VP40 (mVP40), a matrix protein that interacts with the cytoplasmic leaflet of the host cell plasma membrane.VP40 traffics to the plasma membrane inner leaflet, where it assembles to fa
Modern seismic design and technologies have undergone tremendous developments.In SHIRTS URBAN SHORT SLV modern design codes, building structures subjected to high earthquake loads are allowed to experience plastic deformations without collapsing, and the design is permitted up to the ultimate strength.According to comparative results in Japan, the
ObjectiveBrain metastasis from colorectal cancer (CRC) is rare.Although stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are effective treatments for brain metastasis, reports on brain metastasis of CRC are limited.This study compared the efficacy of SRT and SRS for the treatment of brain metastases from CRC and analysed the rela
In this paper, the spatial and temporal distribution of the daily precipitation concentration index (CI) in Algeria (south Mediterranean Sea) has been assessed.CI is an index related to the rainfall intensity and erosive capacity; therefore, this index is of great interest for studies on torrential rainfall and floods.Forty-two daily rainfall serie
Science exists to refute dogmas; nevertheless, dogmas may be introduced when undemonstrated scientific axioms lead us to reject facts incompatible with them.Several studies have proposed psychobiological interpretations of near-death experiences (NDEs), claiming that NDEs are a byproduct of brain functions gone awry; however, relevant facts incompa
