The major inner capsid protein (VP6) of SA-11 simian rotavirus has been expressed in Escherichia coli using a cloned cDNA derived from SA-11 double-stranded RNA segment 6. The cloned gene was fused to the N-terminal coding sequence of lacZ resulting in the synthesis of a 44-kDa protein. Several smaller polypeptides were also observed, resulting predominantly from transcription and translation within the gene 6 coding sequence. The recombinant VP6 proved to be antigenic by immunoblot analysis using polyclonal serum against SA-11 rotavirus and by Western-blot analysis using monospecific serum derived from purified viral VP6.

The broader use of botanical pesticides has been limited by shorter residual activity on plants, slower onset of action, and higher costs compared with conventional pesticides. These challenges could be overcome by the development of simple, cost-effective, and long-lasting preventive nanocomposites for botanical pesticides. In this study, we successfully developed a low-cost ethyl cellulose (EC)-based delivery system for the botanical pesticide osthole (OST), designed to provide extended preventive protection against infestations.

Understanding the relationship between Learned Helplessness (LH) and Psychological Capital (PsyCap) is essential for developing effective interventions for Indigenous adolescents. This study explored the role of PsyCap as a mediator in the link between LH and Psychological Well-Being (PWB). Total of 173 Indigenous adolescents (85 boys and 88 girls) from sixth to eleventh grade at government residential schools.

Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is an uncommon congenital disorder predominantly involving craniofacial, orbital, and otological structures. The various ear malformations seen in 9 patients with TCS are described. TCS predominantly affects the external and middle ear structures, with inner ear structures being relatively spared, not unexpected given the dual embryological origin of the human ear.

Previous studies reported baseline state-dependent effects on neural and hemodynamic responses to transcranial ultrasound stimulation. However, due to neurovascular coupling, neither neural nor hemodynamic baseline alone can fully explain the ultrasound-induced responses. In this study, using a general linear model, we aimed to investigate the roles of both neural and hemodynamic baseline status as well as their interactions in ultrasound-induced responses.
