Multiple interferon stimulated genes synergize with the zinc finger antiviral protein to mediate anti-alphavirus activity.

The zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) is a host factor that mediates inhibition of viruses in the Filoviridae, Retroviridae and Togaviridae families.We previously demonstrated that ZAP blocks replication of Sindbis virus (SINV), the prototype Alphavirus in the Togaviridae family at an early step prior to translation of the incoming genome and tha

Improving sea surface temperature in a regional ocean model through refined sea surface temperature assimilation

Infrared (IR) and passive microwave (PMW) satellite sea surface temperature (SST) retrievals are valuable to assimilate into high-resolution regional ocean forecast models.Still, there are issues related to these SSTs that need to be addressed to achieve improved ocean forecasts.Firstly, satellite SST products tend to be biased.Assimilating SSTs fr

Reconstruction of the Microstructure of Cyanate Ester Resin by Using Prepared Cyanate Ester Resin Nanoparticles and Analysis of the Curing Kinetics Using the Avrami Equation of Phase Change

Bisphenol A dicyanate (BADCy) resin nanoparticles were synthesized by precipitation polymerization and used to modulate the microstructure of the BADCy resin matrix.A microscopic mechanism model was used to characterize the curing process of BADCy resin systems with different contents of the prepared nanoparticles.Due to the curing process of the t
