A Hepatitis C virus genotype 1b post-transplant isolate with high replication efficiency in cell culture and its adaptation to infectious virus production in vitro and in vivo. by Christian Heuss, Paul Rothhaar, Rani Burm, Ji-Young Lee, Philipp Ralfs, Uta Haselmann, Luisa J Ströh, Ombretta Colasanti, Cong Si Tran, Noemi Schäfer, Paul Schnitzler, Uta Merle, Ralf Bartenschlager, Arvind H Patel, Frederik Graw, Thomas Krey, Vibor Laketa, Philip Meuleman, Volker Lohmann

“…During the adaptation, GLT1 spread in the culture even in absence of detectable amounts of free virus, likely due to cell-to-cell transmission, which appeared to substantially contribute to spreading of other isolates as well. Mechanistically, genome replication and particle production efficiency were enhanced by adaptation, while cell entry competence of HCV pseudoparticles was not affected. …”

Modeling Rollover Crash Risks: The Influence of Road Infrastructure and Traffic Stream Characteristics by Abolfazl Khishdari, Hamid Mirzahossein, Xia Jin, Shahriar Afandizadeh

“…For instance, the effects of T-intersection density, U-turns, roadside parking lots, the entry and exit ramps of side roads, as well as traffic stream characteristics (e.g., standard deviation of vehicle speeds, speed violations, presence or absence of speed cameras, and road surface deterioration) have not been thoroughly explored in previous research. …”

Evaluation of porosity, permeability, and reservoir quality of the Asmari Formation using sedimentary facies and diagenesis data in the Ahvaz oil field by Akbar Heidari, Narges Shokri, Milad Faraji

“…Depositional and post-depositional environments have a wide-ranging effect on rock composition and its components, leading to different reservoir properties for each sequence and affecting the rock types. Near-surface burial diagenetic conditions in meteoric and shallow burial diagenetic environments, due to the ease of entry and exit of diagenetic fluids, the initial composition of the sediment undergoes significant changes in a short period, and dissolution of unstable components or extensive cementation occurs. …”
