Comparison of Bacterial Expression Systems Based on Potato Virus Y-like Particles for Vaccine Generation by Anete Ogrina, Dace Skrastina, Ina Balke, Ieva Kalnciema, Juris Jansons, Martin F. Bachmann, Andris Zeltins

“…We constructed four systems with the major cat allergen Fel d 1; namely, direct fusion with plant virus PVY coat protein (CP), mosaic PVY VLPs, and two coexpression variants of conjugates (SpyTag/SpyCatcher) allowing coexpression and conjugation directly in <i>E. coli</i> cells. For control experiments, we included PVY VLPs chemically coupled with Fel d 1. …”

Revision of WDM7 Microphysics Scheme and Evaluation for Precipitating Convection over the Korean Peninsula by Sungbin Jang, Kyo-Sun Sunny Lim, Jeongsu Ko, Kwonil Kim, GyuWon Lee, Su-Jeong Cho, Kwang-Deuk Ahn, Yong-Hee Lee

“…An experiment with enhanced C-C efficiency overall improved the precipitation skill scores, such as probability of detection, equitable threat score, and spatial pattern correlation, compared with those of the control experiment for the summer and winter cases. With application of the new mass-weighted terminal velocity of solid-phase hydrometeors, the hail mixing ratio at the surface was considerably reduced, and rain shafts slowed down low-level winds for the winter convective system. …”

THE HOCKEY COLLECTIVE IDENTITY: COGNITIVE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO THE DISCOURSE ANALYSIS (Verbal and Multimodal Aspects) by Tetiana M. Suvorova

“…The associative and interpretative analysis of speech units is a traditional practice in discourse analysis that is involved in discourse studies to demonstrate how participants of communication mutually agree on the meaning they structure during the discourse. The controlled experiments are held under conditions that are relatively unusual for the natural discourse practice as in the real-time discourse the process of meaning structuring and reconstruction is due to deep involvement in the situational context. …”
