Techniques of blood sampling for detection of African swine fever virus in wild boar and domestic pigs in the field conditions by A. S. Pershin, A. R. Shotin, E. O. Morozova, A. S. Igolkin, O. A. Manuylova, I. V. Shevchenko, А. А. Shevtsov, N. N. Vlasova

“…It is thought that due to the high virulence of the African swine fever virus its circulation in the Russian Federation is accompanied by a low seroprevalence. However taking into account a long-term ASF unfavourable situation, the introduction of the virus into the wild boar population, and the occurrence of attenuated viral variants, the significance of serological testing aimed at the detection of viral antibodies is increasing. …”

Assessment and enhancement of transfer capability for large-scale renewable generation base transmitted by voltage source converter based high voltage direct current system by Shiyuan Chen, Shunjiang Lin, Yuerong Yang, Kaiyun Jiang, Mingbo Liu

“…This study introduces an optimal power flow model to evaluate the transfer capability of a renewable generation base transmitted by voltage source converter based high voltage direct current system. The model accounts for the increased transmission capacity of high-voltage direct current lines with load growth, varying voltage-reactive power control characteristics of renewable energy stations, and the switching of control modes when renewable energy stations reach their reactive power output limits. …”

Testing of diagnostic test-systems for detection of antibodies to foot-and-mouth disease virus structural proteins with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for their serotype specifi... by N. N. Lugovskaya, E. A. Silanteva, T. V. Okovytaya, A. A. Kharitonova, Y. M. Gochmuradov, E. A. Razgulyaeva, O. O. Budina, E. A. Yasneva

“…All used test-systems detected apparent serotype-specific activity (homologous reaction) as well as cross-reacting virus-specific antibodies that was accounted for some reasons related to conservative epitopes in amino acid sequence of FMDV virion capsid VP1–VP3 polypeptides, accessibility of internal conservative epitopes of VP4 polypeptide for the animal’s immune system during virus replication or vaccine antigen (virus) destruction in the animal’s body in the process of immunity development, as well as the pilot anti-FMD vaccine composition, etc. …”

Membrane-bound model of the ternary complex between factor VIIa/tissue factor and factor X by Melanie P. Muller, Alex Mortenson, Josepha C. Sedzro, Po-Chao Wen, James H. Morrissey, Emad Tajkhorshid

“…Using a novel computational methodology combining rigid-body protein-protein docking and extensive nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations in the explicit presence of a membrane, we developed, to our knowledge, the first atomic-level model of the EC, taking full account of the role of the membrane. Rigid-body docking generated 1 000 000 protein-only structures that predict the binding of key EC domains. …”

A qualitative exploration of owner experiences following dog adoption by Bethany Joy Moyer, Helen Zulch, Beth Ann Ventura, Oliver Burman

“…Future research should incorporate a longer time-frame to better understand how and when dogs adjust to a home, and as there is variation in dog behaviour during adjustment, it must also account for individual differences. As we develop a better understanding of how to characterise this period, adopters can be better prepared for the initial months of dog ownership, and interventions can be individualised to improve owner experience and dog welfare.…”
