Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) naturally infects only some citrus species and relatives and within these it only invades phloem tissues.Failure to agroinfect citrus plants and the lack of an experimental herbaceous host hindered development of a workable genetic system.A full-genome cDNA of CTV isolate T36 was cloned in binary plasmids and was used to
Implementation of triggered kilovoltage imaging for stereotactic radiotherapy of the spine for patients with spinal fixation hardware
Background and purpose: Mitigation of intrafraction motion (IM) is valuable in stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) radiotherapy where submillimeter accuracy is desired.The purpose of this study was to investigate the application of triggered kilovoltage (kV) imaging for spine SRT patients with hardware by correlating kV imaging with patient motion and
Long-Term Monitoring of Fresco Paintings in the Cathedral of Valencia (Spain) Through Humidity and Temperature Sensors in Various Locations for Preventive Conservation
We describe the performance of a microclimate monitoring system that was implemented for the preventive conservation of the Renaissance frescoes in the apse vault of the Cathedral of Valencia, that were restored in 2006.This system comprises 29 relative humidity (RH) and orion bar key west temperature sensors: 10 of them inserted into the plaster l
