Development of Dot-ELISA and Colloidal Gold Immunochromatographic Strip for Rapid and Super-Sensitive Detection of Plum Pox Virus in Apricot Trees.

Plum pox virus (PPV) is a causal agent of the stone fruit tree sharka disease that often causes enormous economic losses. Due to its worldwide distribution and economic importance, rapid and reliable diagnostic technologies are becoming increasingly important for successful management of sharka disease. In this study, we have produced two super-sensitive and specific anti-PPV monoclonal antibodies (i.

Research on the water-entry attitude of a submersible aircraft.

Background: The water entry of a submersible aircraft, which is transient, highly coupled, and nonlinear, is complicated. After analyzing the mechanics of this process, the change rate of every variable is considered. A dynamic model is build and employed to study vehicle attitude and overturn phenomenon during water entry.

Towards basic ionic liquid-based hybrid membranes as hydroxide-conducting electrolytes under low humidity conditions.

We have developed basic ionic liquid-based hybrid membranes with ionic liquid modified zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) as fillers, aiming to enhance the electrochemical and physical properties of the membrane.
