The plant pathogenic fungus Cytospora is notoriously known for causing woody plant canker diseases, resulting in substantial economic losses to biological forests and fruit trees worldwide.Despite their strong negative ecological impact, the existing and prospective distribution patterns of these plant pathogens in China, according to climate chang
When, why, and how do People Deviate from Physical Distancing Measures During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Mixed-Methods Study
To limit the spread of COVID-19, many countries, including Belgium, have installed physical distancing measures.Yet, adherence to these newly installed behavioral measures has been described as challenging and effortful.Based on the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model, this study performed an in-depth evaluation of when, why, and how people
Perceived Social Support: A Key to Enhance Job Satisfaction at a Crucial Time of Structural Change
Purpose: It is evident employee react negatively and have experienced psychosomatic effects like depression, anxiety, insecurity and fear as a reaction of merger and acquisition, which reflect negative effect on employee performance, high turnover intention or absenteeism as employee reaction to change.The present study intent to understand the imp
The herpes virus Fc receptor gE-gI mediates antibody bipolar bridging to clear viral antigens from the cell surface.
The Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein gE-gI is a transmembrane Fc receptor found on the surface of infected cells and virions that binds human immunoglobulin G (hIgG).gE-gI can also participate in antibody bipolar bridging (ABB), a process by which the antigen-binding fragments (Fabs) of the IgG bind a viral antigen while the Fc binds to
Numerical Investigation of Natural Light Transmission Through Fiber Optics
Fiber optics is a cutting-edge technology with boundless potential for transmitting natural light inside buildings.Imaging Solar concentrators are very efficient in focusing light within the approximate numerical aperture of fiber optics.The proof-of-concept of fiber optics concentration daylight systems was investigated and elaborated for only sin
