Abstract Bats are increasingly recognized as reservoirs of emerging zoonotic pathogens.Egyptian rousette bats (ERBs) are the known reservoir of Marburg virus (MARV), a filovirus that causes deadly Marburg virus disease (MVD) in humans.However, ERBs harbor MARV asymptomatically, likely due to a coadapted and specific host immunity-pathogen relations
We generalize the nested Wilson loop formalism, which has been playing an important role in the study of topological quadrupole insulators, to two-dimensional (2D) and 3D nonsymmorphic materials with higher-order topology.In particular, certain 3D Dirac semimetals exhibit 1D higher-order Fermi arc (HOFA) states localizing on hinges where two surfac
Powdery mildew is one of the severe diseases on common bean in Southwestern China, but the identity of the pathogen inciting this disease is unclear.The objective of this study was to identify the causal agent of common IC Hardware bean powdery mildew and to screen resistant cultivars.The pathogen was identified through morphological identification
An artificial neural network based system for interpreting astronomical images has been developed.The system is based on feed-forward Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) with error back-propagation learning.Knowledge about images of stars, cosmic ray events and noise found in images is used to prepare two sets of input patterns to train and test our
Degenerative valvular changes are not uncommon findings in echocardiography studies of elderly population.Clinical significance becomes very important during noncardiac morbidities.Our case Luggage Cover report identifies the importance of studying valvular changes in elderly population resulting in secondary pulmonary hypertension, in order to cat
