Spatial variability of the aspect sensitivity of VHF radar echoes in the troposphere and lower stratosphere during jet stream passages

The aspect sensitivity of SOUSY-VHF-radar oblique-beam echoes from the troposphere and lower stratosphere has been examined for a number of jet stream passages during the years 1990 - 1992.When the core of the jet is overhead or nearly so, vertical profiles of the aspect sensitivity display two notable features.First, the Filters distinction betwee

No evidence for selection of HIV-1 with enhanced gag-protease or Nef function among breakthrough infections in the CAPRISA 004 tenofovir microbicide trial.

Use of antiretroviral-based microbicides for HIV-1 prophylaxis could introduce a transmission barrier that inadvertently facilitates the selection of fitter viral variants among incident infections.To investigate this, we assessed the in vitro function of gag-protease 7 Piece Bedroom Package and nef sequences from participants who acquired HIV-1 du
