The IFN-inducible antiviral protein tetherin (or BST-2/CD317/HM1.24) impairs release of mature HIV-1 particles from infected Butterfly Knives cells.HIV-1 Vpu antagonizes the effect of tetherin.The fate of virions trapped at the cell surface remains poorly understood.Here, we asked whether tetherin impairs HIV cell-to-cell transmission, a major mean
Evaluation of unique identifiers used for citation linking [version 1; referees: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]
Unique identifiers (UID) are seen as Butterfly Knives an effective tool to create links between identical publications in databases or identify duplicates in a database.The purpose of the present study is to investigate how well UIDs work for citation linking.We have two objectives: Explore the coverage, precision, and characteristics of publicatio
A Blockchain-Based Authentication Mechanism for Enhanced Security
Passwords are the first line of defence against preventing unauthorised access to systems and potential leakage of sensitive data.However, the traditional reliance on username Rod0.0 and password combinations is not enough protection and has prompted the implementation of technologies such as two-factor authentication (copyright).While copyright en
Space-Based Passive Orbital Maneuver Detection Algorithm for High-Altitude Situational Awareness
Orbital maneuver detection for non-cooperative targets in space is a key task in space situational awareness.This study develops a passive maneuver detection algorithm using line-of-sight angles measured by a space-based optical sensor, especially for targets in high-altitude orbit.Emphasis is placed on constructing a new characterization for maneu
