description: Additional file 1: Fig. S1. Barley ovules imaged at ×10 showing the outcomes of variations to the clearing protocol. Images presented as composites, generated by merging optical sections. A Ethanol dehydration prior to a 4-week (4w) gentle infiltration with Hoyer’s solution, then imaging samples directly after mounting on microscopy slides produced high clarity results in a longer time frame. B Samples gently infiltrated with Hoyer’s solution for 16 weeks (16w) then immediately imaged produced high-quality results. C Samples left mounted on microscope slides in a well ventilated storage box or for too long were not able to be imaged properly due to evaporation (+Evap) of the Hoyer’s solution, causing uneven illumination of the sample and in some cases accelerated degradation of the tissue, resulting in an unacceptably grainy image. D Rough sample collection and careless handling of the tissues results in damaged ovaries, which may disrupt the internal morphology of the ovule. The embryo sac is indicated by a dashed white line.

description: Traditionally, the vision community has devised algorithms to estimate the distance between an original image and images that have been subject to perturbations. Inspiration was usually taken from the human visual perceptual system and how the system processes different perturbations in order to replicate to what extent it determines our ability to judge image quality. While recent works have presented deep neural networks trained to predict human perceptual quality, very few borrow any intuitions from the human visual system. To address this, we present PerceptNet, a convolutional neural network where the architecture has been chosen to reflect the structure and various stages in the human visual system. We evaluate PerceptNet on various traditional perception datasets and note strong performance on a number of them as compared with traditional image quality metrics. We also show that including a nonlinearity inspired by the human visual system in classical deep neural networks architectures can increase their ability to judge perceptual similarity. Compared to similar deep learning methods, the performance is similar, although our network has a number of parameters that is several orders of magnitude less.

description: We derive the equilibrium phase diagram of the classical dipolar Ising antiferromagnet at the mean-field level on a geometry that mimics the two dimensional Kagome lattice. Our mean-field treatment is based on the combination of the cluster variational Bethe-Peierls formalism and the cavity method, developed in the context of the glass transition, and is complementary to the Monte Carlo simulations realized in [Phys. Rev. B 98, 144439 (2018)]. Our results confirm the nature of the low temperature crystalline phase which is reached through a weakly first-order phase transition. Moreover, they allow us to interpret the dynamical slowing down observed in the work of Hamp & al. as a remnant of a spin glass transition taking place at the mean-field level (and expected to be avoided in 2 dimensions).

description: Sound in indoor spaces forms a complex wavefield due to multiple scattering encountered by the sound. Indoor acoustic communication involving multiple sources and receivers thus inevitably suffers from cross-talks. Here, we demonstrate the isolation of acoustic communication channels in a room by wavefield shaping using acoustic reconfigurable metasurfaces (ARMs) controlled by optimization protocols based on communication theories. The ARMs have 200 electrically switchable units, each selectively offering 0 or π phase shifts in the reflected waves. The sound field is reshaped for maximal Shannon capacity and minimal cross-talk simultaneously. We demonstrate diverse acoustic functionalities over a spectrum much larger than the coherence bandwidth of the room, including multi-channel, multi-spectral channel isolations, and frequency-multiplexed acoustic communication. Our work shows that wavefield shaping in complex media can offer new strategies for future acoustic engineering.

description: The $^1S_0$ superfluidity of neutron matter is studied in the framework of the generalized Gorkov equation. The vertex corrections to the pairing interaction and the self-energy corrections are introduced and approximated on the same footing in the gap equation. A suppression of the pairing gap by more than 50% with respect to the BCS prediction is found, which deeply changes the scenario for the dynamical and thermal evolution of neutron stars.

description: Hydrodynamic projections, the projection onto conserved charges representing ballistic propagation of fluid waves, give exact transport results in many-body systems, such as the exact Drude weights. Focussing one one-dimensional systems, I show that this principle can be extended beyond the Euler scale, in particular to the diffusive and superdiffusive scales. By hydrodynamic reduction, Hilbert spaces of observables are constructed that generalise the standard space of conserved densities and describe the finer scales of hydrodynamics. The Green-Kubo formula for the Onsager matrix has a natural expression within the diffusive space. This space is associated with quadratically extensive charges, and projections onto any such charge give generic lower bounds for diffusion. In particular, bilinear expressions in linearly extensive charges lead to explicit diffusion lower bounds calculable from the thermodynamics, and applicable for instance to generic momentum-conserving one-dimensional systems. Bilinear charges are interpreted as covariant derivatives on the manifold of maximal entropy states, and represent the contribution to diffusion from scattering of ballistic waves. An analysis of fractionally extensive charges, combined with clustering properties from the superdiffusion phenomenology, gives lower bounds for superdiffusion exponents. These bounds reproduce the predictions of nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics, including the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang exponent 2/3 for sound-like modes, the Levy-distribution exponent 3/5 for heat-like modes, and the full Fibonacci sequence.

description: Abstract: Objective: To examine the validity and findings of studies that examine the accuracy of algorithm based smartphone applications (“apps”) to assess risk of skin cancer in suspicious skin lesions. Design: Systematic review of diagnostic accuracy studies. Data sources: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, CPCI, Zetoc, Science Citation Index, and online trial registers (from database inception to 10 April 2019). Eligibility criteria for selecting studies: Studies of any design that evaluated algorithm based smartphone apps to assess images of skin lesions suspicious for skin cancer. Reference standards included histological diagnosis or follow-up, and expert recommendation for further investigation or intervention. Two authors independently extracted data and assessed validity using QUADAS-2 (Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 tool). Estimates of sensitivity and specificity were reported for each app. Results: Nine studies that evaluated six different identifiable smartphone apps were included. Six verified results by using histology or follow-up (n=725 lesions), and three verified results by using expert recommendations (n=407 lesions). Studies were small and of poor methodological quality, with selective recruitment, high rates of unevaluable images, and differential verification. Lesion selection and image acquisition were performed by clinicians rather than smartphone users. Two CE (Conformit Europenne) marked apps are available for download. SkinScan was evaluated in a single study (n=15, five melanomas) with 0% sensitivity and 100% specificity for the detection of melanoma. SkinVision was evaluated in two studies (n=252, 61 malignant or premalignant lesions) and achieved a sensitivity of 80% (95% confidence interval 63% to 92%) and a specificity of 78% (67% to 87%) for the detection of malignant or premalignant lesions. Accuracy of the SkinVision app verified against expert recommendations was poor (three studies). Conclusions: Current algorithm based smartphone apps cannot be relied on to detect all cases of melanoma or other skin cancers. Test performance is likely to be poorer than reported here when used in clinically relevant populations and by the intended users of the apps. The current regulatory process for awarding the CE marking for algorithm based apps does not provide adequate protection to the public. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42016033595.
Resolution of the Burrows-Wheeler Transform Conjecture

description: The Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) is an invertible text transformation that permutes symbols of a text according to the lexicographical order of its suffixes. BWT is the main component of popular lossless compression programs (such as bzip2) as well as recent powerful compressed indexes (such as $r$-index [Gagie et al., J. ACM, 2020]), central in modern bioinformatics. The compression ratio of BWT is quantified by the number $r$ of equal-letter runs. Despite the practical significance of BWT, no non-trivial bound on the value of $r$ is known. This is in contrast to nearly all other known compression methods, whose sizes have been shown to be either always within a ${\rm polylog}\,n$ factor (where $n$ is the length of text) from $z$, the size of Lempel-Ziv (LZ77) parsing of the text, or significantly larger in the worst case (by a $n^{\varepsilon}$ factor for $\varepsilon > 0$). In this paper, we show that $r = \mathcal{O}(z \log^2n)$ holds for every text. This result has numerous implications for text indexing and data compression; for example: (1) it proves that many results related to BWT automatically apply to methods based on LZ77, e.g., it is possible to obtain functionality of the suffix tree in $\mathcal{O}(z\,{\rm polylog}\,n)$ space; (2) it shows that many text processing tasks can be solved in the optimal time assuming the text is compressible using LZ77 by a sufficiently large ${\rm polylog}\,n$ factor; (3) it implies the first non-trivial relation between the number of runs in the BWT of the text and its reverse. In addition, we provide an $\mathcal{O}(z\,{\rm polylog}\,n)$-time algorithm converting the LZ77 parsing into the run-length compressed BWT. To achieve this, we develop a number of new data structures and techniques of independent interest.

title: Investigating the contribution of AMPK regulation to physiology and lifespan in C. elegans
Creators: name: Scanlon, Daniel Michael
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: Life expectancy increased dramatically during the 20th century and gave rise to a variety of age-related diseases which affect modern society. Recent studies investigating the relationship between energy homeostasis and longevity imply that nutrient-sensing pathways are important for determining lifespan. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key metabolic regulator which responds to changes in the AMP:ATP ratio within cells, promoting a metabolic shift towards increased catabolism and autophagy during a low-energy state to promote restoration of cellular energy supply. AMPK is a heterotrimeric protein consisting of α catalytic, β linker and γ regulatory subunits. AMP binds to specific, evolutionary conserved residues in the γ subunit, initiating a conformational change across the kinase and allosterically regulating its activity.Previous work in the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans has demonstrated that AMP-sensitivity is important for AMPK-mediated contributions to longevity. Here, I use this genetic model to further explore the functional roles of AMPKγ and investigate the relationship between AMP binding, physiology, and lifespan more closely. C. elegans are unusual because they have five different AMPKγ subunits which are believed have different abilities to bind AMP. Using C. elegans, I create two alternative models of AMPK function, believed to be AMP-sensitive and AMP-insensitive. Through investigations into AMPK activation, I show that an aakg-1; aakg-2; aakg-3 knockout is unable to respond normally to AMP, which may contribute to substantial shortening of lifespan. Additionally, I have also found that the sensitivity of AMPKγ to AMP is important for stress resistance, fecundity, and dauer.Taken together, my analysis shows that alternative modes of AMPK activation affect several aspects of worm physiology, suggesting that AMPKγ holds potential pharmacological relevance, which in some cases can be separated from AMPKα.

description: Electron interactions reinforce minigaps induced in metallic nanotubes by an external field and turn the gap field dependence into a universal power law. An exactly solvable Gross-Neveau model with an SU(4) symmetry is derived for neutral excitations near half-filling. Charge excitations, described by a sin-Gordon perturbation of Luttinger liquid theory, are composite solitons formed by the charged and neutral fields with two separate length scales. Charge compressibility at finite density, evaluated in terms of inter-soliton interaction, exhibits a crossover from overlapping to non-overlapping soliton state. Implications for the Coulomb blockade measurements are discussed.

description: RNase H1 is able to recognize DNA/RNA heteroduplexes and to degrade their RNA component. As a consequence, it has been implicated in different aspects of mtDNA replication such as primer formation, primer removal, and replication termination, and significant differences have been reported between control and mutant RNASEH1 skin fibroblasts from patients. However, neither mtDNA depletion nor the presence of deletions have been described in skin fibroblasts while still presenting signs of mitochondrial dysfunction (lower mitochondrial membrane potential, reduced oxygen consumption, slow growth in galactose). Here, we show that RNase H1 has an effect on mtDNA transcripts, most likely through the regulation of 7S RNA and other R-loops. The observed effect on both mitochondrial mRNAs and 16S rRNA results in decreased mitochondrial translation and subsequently mitochondrial dysfunction in cells carrying mutations in RNASEH1.

description: Abstract: Objective: To compare established associations between risk factors and mortality in UK Biobank, a study with an exceptionally low rate of response to its baseline survey, against those from representative studies that have conventional response rates. Design: Prospective cohort study alongside individual participant meta-analysis of other cohort studies. Setting: United Kingdom. Participants: Analytical sample of 499 701 people (response rate 5.5%) in analyses in UK Biobank; pooled data from the Health Surveys for England (HSE) and the Scottish Health Surveys (SHS), including 18 studies and 89 895 people (mean response rate 68%). Both study populations were linked to the same nationwide mortality registries, and the baseline age range was aligned at 40-69 years. Main outcome measure: Death from cardiovascular disease, selected malignancies, and suicide. To quantify the difference between hazard ratios in the two studies, a ratio of the hazard ratios was used with HSE-SHS as the referent. Results: Risk factor levels and mortality rates were typically more favourable in UK Biobank participants relative to the HSE-SHS consortium. For the associations between risk factors and mortality endpoints, however, close agreement was seen between studies. Based on 14 288 deaths during an average of 7.0 years of follow-up in UK Biobank and 7861 deaths over 10 years of mortality surveillance in HSE-SHS, for cardiovascular disease mortality, for instance, the age and sex adjusted hazard ratio for ever having smoked cigarettes (versus never) was 2.04 (95% confidence interval 1.87 to 2.24) in UK Biobank and 1.99 (1.78 to 2.23) in HSE-SHS, yielding a ratio of hazard ratios close to unity (1.02, 0.88 to 1.19). The overall pattern of agreement between studies was essentially unchanged when results were compared separately by sex and when baseline years and censoring dates were aligned. Conclusion: Despite a very low response rate, risk factor associations in the UK Biobank seem to be generalisable.

Linearly polarized photons are randomly rotated due to the Berry phase associated with the scattering path. For circularly polarized light independent speckle patterns are found for the two helical states. The statistics of the geometric phase is related to the writhe distribution of semiflexible polymers such as DNA.

title: Modern ethnicity and ancient culture: The persistence of white narratives in displays of the Roman past
Creators: name: Goodwin, Karl Andrew
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: It has been over 40 years since Edward Said's Orientalism highlighted European imperialism and racism, involved in the West's representation of others. This relationship still exists throughout British museums where calls to become inclusive have yet to be answered. This research contributes to the examination of contemporary efforts of Roman museum displays to critically engage with the representation of diversity and analyses why change has yet to occur.To do so, the theory of narratology has been used to deconstruct Roman display narratives in Britain, with comparisons made with Belgium and the Netherlands. Britain's ancient past has been, and still is, greatly relied upon in the construction of its national identity. As such, this thesis sees museums as ideologically informed constructs. They are entwined with how the Roman period is related to and its persistent relevance for contemporary societies in the formation of worldviews of who is included or excluded from local and national narratives.The three research questions focus on how ethnic diversity is currently incorporated in display narratives, public opinion, and expectations of a museum's duty towards inclusivity, and how present-day, and past, ideologies inhibit progress. Two datasets have been amassed to gain first-person insights into these issues. The first includes 38 interviews, and two further conversations, with individuals that have been, and still are, included in curatorial decisions and deliverance of narratives in Roman museums in Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands. The second dataset comprises of 255 questionnaires completed by members of the public in these museums. Through analysis of both datasets, and examination of display narratives, this thesis found that explicit depictions of ethnic diversity are still rare within contemporary permanent Roman exhibits. It found that there is an initial desire by the public and museum professionals for institutions to be inclusive; however, past and present ideological worldviews still hinder transformational change. Conclusions emphasise a momentum that strives for inclusivity to be engrained in museal practice. This is faced, however, by a real danger that change will again be hindered by a sector that relies on traditional narratives to steady an unstable sector.

description: A four week experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of isoproteinous (35%) feed prepared named diet 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively by substituting 0%, 50% , 75% and 100% fish meal with meat and bone meal in view of preparing a cost effective tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry feed. The four experimental diets (diet 1 to 4) each were randomly assigned to twelve hapas with three replications. Tilapia fry (0.011g) were randomly stocked in 100 fry/9ft² hapa and fed five times a day up to their apparent satiation. The results of the study showed that the weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR), the apparent net protein utilization value and survival (%) of the fish were significantly (P<0.05) higher and better feed utilization with lower FCR value was observed in fish fed on the diet 4 where meat and bone meal was used as sole source of protein base. There was no significant difference between the carcass moisture and lipid of fish fed with different experimental diets. The results of the study indicated that diet 1 containing fish meal (45.15% Fish meal, 27.43% Rice bran and 27.43% Wheat flour) can be replaced by meat and bone meal containing diet 4 (54.06% Meat and bone meal, 22.97% Rice bran and 22.97% Wheat flour) with no adverse effects on growth and survival of O. niloticus. Before recommendation several trials will be necessary in different farms to be sure of the reproducibility of the result obtained in the present experiment. Cost- benefit analysis reveals that the meat and bone meal containing diet certainly provides cheaper feed.
A New Constraint Qualification and Sharp Optimality Conditions for Nonsmooth Mathematical Programming Problems in Terms of Quasidifferentials

description: The paper is devoted to an analysis of a new constraint qualification and a derivation of the strongest existing optimality conditions for nonsmooth mathematical programming problems with equality and inequality constraints in terms of Demyanov-Rubinov-Polyakova quasidifferentials under the minimal possible assumptions. To this end, we obtain a novel description of convex subcones of the contingent cone to a set defined by quasidifferentiable equality and inequality constraints with the use of a new constraint qualification. We utilize these description and constraint qualification to derive the strongest existing optimality conditions for nonsmooth mathematical programming problems in terms of quasidifferentials under less restrictive assumptions than in previous studies. The main feature of the new constraint qualification and related optimality conditions is the fact that they depend on individual elements of quasidifferentials of the objective function and constraints and are not invariant with respect to the choise of quasidifferentials. To illustrate the theoretical results, we present two simple examples in which optimality conditions in terms of various subdifferentials (in fact, any outer semicontinuous/limiting subdifferential) are satisfied at a nonoptimal point, while the optimality conditions obtained in this paper do not hold true at this point, that is, optimality conditions in terms of quasidifferentials, unlike the ones in terms of subdifferentials, detect the nonoptimality of this point.
description: In the second version a new section containing a comparative analysis of constraint qualifications in terms of quasidifferentials was added and a number of small typos and mistakes was corrected. In the third version multiple typos and small mistakes were corrected

We present results for some Sb and Te isotopes. Comparison shows that our results are in very good agreement with the available experimental data supporting confidence in the predictions of our calculations. This may stimulate experimental efforts to gain more information on these nuclei lying well away from the valley of stability.

We study examples of 2d bulk holographic tensor networks constructed from Dijkgraaf-Witten theories and found that for both $\mathbb{Z}_n$ group and $S_3$ group the number of bulk operators behaving like a generalized free field in the bulk scales as the order of the group. We also generalize our study to 3d bulks and found the same scaling for $\mathbb{Z}_n$ theories. However, there is no generalized free field when the bulk comes from more generic fusion categories such as the Fibonacci model.

description: People can diagnose the interiors of stars by sensing their pulsations. Pulsation modes, which are determined by the internal state and structure of a star, are typically considered stable over short timescales. These independent pulsation modes have been used in asteroseismology to reconstruct the interior structure of stars. Here, we report the discovery of peculiar pulsation mode interaction details in the high-amplitude $δ$ Scuti star KIC 6382916 (J19480292+4146558), challenging the reliability of independent pulsation modes as indicators of the star's internal structure. Through analysis of archival data, we found distinct variations in amplitudes and frequencies of three independent pulsation modes and their harmonics/combinations over approximately 20 days. These variations can reach amplitudes of about 140% and frequency variations of about 12%. Correlation analysis of amplitude and frequency variations revealed additional pulsation mode interaction details and patterns. Notably, our findings regarding the phenomena related to harmonics of independent pulsation modes challenge the traditional understanding in this area. These discoveries serve as cornerstones for future research and advance nonlinear asteroseismology.

description: The de Broglie-Bohm theory is a hidden variable interpretation of quantum mechanics which involves particles moving through space with definite trajectories. This theory singles out position as the primary ontological variable. Mathematically, it is possible to construct a similar theory where particles are moving through momentum space, and momentum is singled out as the primary ontological variable. In this paper we experimentally show how the two theories lead to different ontological descriptions. We construct the putative particle trajectories for a two-slit experiment in both the position and momentum space theories by simulating particle dynamics with coherent light. Using a method for constructing trajectories through the primary and derived (i.e. non-primary) spaces, we compare the ontological pictures offered by the two theories and show that they do not agree. This contradictory behaviour brings into question which ontology for Bohmian mechanics is to be preferred.

description: Video skimming, also known as dynamic video summarization, generates a temporally abridged version of a given video. Skimming can be achieved by identifying significant components either in uni-modal or multi-modal features extracted from the video. Being dynamic in nature, video skimming, through temporal connectivity, allows better understanding of the video from its summary. Having this obvious advantage, recently, video skimming has drawn the focus of many researchers benefiting from the easy availability of the required computing resources. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey on video skimming focusing on the substantial amount of literature from the past decade. We present a taxonomy of video skimming approaches, and discuss their evolution highlighting key advances. We also provide a study on the components required for the evaluation of a video skimming performance.

description: This study was performed in Fulpur upazila under Mymensingh district for the period of 13 months from August 2010 to August 2011 to know the socio-economic and aquaculture status of fish farm owners and to assess the nutritive value of commercial fish feed available at Fulpur upazila of Mymensingh district. Fish farm owners were prominent in the study area and majority was illiterate but had the ability of signature. The monoculture and polyculture farm in the studied area were established in ranged from 1995 to 2005, respectively. Most of the fish farm owners followed polyculture system and had small farm area. Majority of fish farm owners leased water body for aquaculture. The minimum size of the farm was 0.162 ha and maximum size of the farm was 3.722 ha. The average depth of the water body in winter season was 1.61 meter and in summer season was 2.32 meter. Majority of fish farm owners followed proper pre-stocking and post stocking management with maintaining high stocking density of fish and using either commercial or farm made fish feed. Among the commercial fish feed tested the highest value of moisture was found in Aftab feed, protein in Nourish feed, lipid in CP feed, ash in Aftab feed, fibre in ACI feed and carbohydrate in ACI feed. Most of the commercial fish feed maintain standard level of chemical composition.

description: The experiment was conducted for 56-day with a view to observe the effects of different feeds on larval development and survival of 3 day-old ornamental koi carp Cyprinus carpio larvae in fiber glass aquaria to develop rearing technique for promoting its aquaculture and for promoting the aquarium business. There were three treatments, each having two replications, stocked with 30 larvae having an initial length and weight of 2.31 ± 0.10 mm and weight of 0.005 ± 0.01 g respectively, in a glass aquaria of size 30 × 10 × 6 inch3 . Three different feeds i.e. crushed pellet feed, mixed diet i.e. 50% pellet + 50% chopped tubificid worms and live chopped tubificid worms, having different protein levels were administered to compare their suitability as food for the rearing of C. carpio larvae. The larvae fed with chopped tubificid worms showed significantly better results in terms of length and weight gain, percent length and weight gain and specific growth rate (SGR %) compared to the rest two treatments. The highest survival rate 56.66 ± 2.29% was shown by the chopped tubificid worms fed larvae which was significantly higher than those of crushed pellet feed and mixed diet respectively. Water quality parameters were monitored throughout the experimental periods. On the basis of larval development and survival rate, it could be suggested the live chopped tubificid worms is suitable for the culture of ornamental koi carp C. carpio larvae.

description: Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV), bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV), and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) cause serious epidemics in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), a vital food security crop in many low-to-medium income countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Aphids transmit these viruses “non-persistently,” i.e., virions attach loosely to the insects' stylets. Viruses may manipulate aphid-host interactions to enhance transmission. We used direct observation and electrical penetration graph measurements to see if the three viruses induced similar or distinct changes in feeding behaviors of two aphid species, Aphis fabae and Myzus persicae. Both aphids vector BCMV, BCMNV, and CMV but A. fabae is a legume specialist (the dominant species in bean fields) while M. persicae is a generalist that feeds on and transmits viruses to diverse plant hosts. Aphids of both species commenced probing epidermal cells (behavior optimal for virus acquisition and inoculation) sooner on virus-infected plants than on mock-inoculated plants. Infection with CMV was especially disruptive of phloem feeding by the bean specialist aphid A. fabae. A. fabae also experienced mechanical stylet difficulty when feeding on virus-infected plants, and this was also exacerbated for M. persicae. Overall, feeding on virus-infected host plants by specialist and generalist aphids was affected in different ways but all three viruses induced similar effects on each aphid type. Specifically, non-specialist (M. persicae) aphids encountered increased stylet difficulties on plants infected with BCMV, BCMNV, or CMV, whereas specialist aphids (A. fabae) showed decreased phloem ingestion on infected plants. Probing and stylet pathway activity (which facilitate virus transmission) were not decreased by any of the viruses for either of the aphid species, except in the case of A. fabae on CMV-infected bean, where these activities were increased. Overall, these virus-induced changes in host-aphid interactions are likely to enhance non-persistent virus transmission, and data from this work will be useful in epidemiological modeling of non-persistent vectoring of viruses by aphids.
