Extended x-ray-absorption fine-structure measurements have been made on metal clusters of Cu and Ni which were formed by vapor deposition amorphous carbon substrates. Small both elements show a substantial contraction the nearest-neighbor metal-metal distance an increase in binding energy for onset $K$ absorption edge. The results are explained increasing surface-to-volume ratio as cluster size decreases resulting more free-atom---like configuration atoms.

Results of an experiment to measure muonic transition energies in separated lead isotopes are presented. The main results as follows: 1. Muonic spectra the four $^{204}\mathrm{Pb}$, $^{206}\mathrm{Pb}$, $^{207}\mathrm{Pb}$, and $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ were studied with high resolution. No anomalous splitting or broadening lines was detected. effect natural linewidth could, however, be observed. 2. An anomaly found $3d$ fine structure whose measured value turned out larger than calculated by...

Abstract Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV), a recently discovered pathogen of tilapia fish, belongs to the Amnoonviridae family from Articulavirales order. Its ten genome segments have characteristic conserved ends and encode proteins with no known homologues, apart segment 1, which encodes an orthomyxo-like RNA-dependent-RNA polymerase core subunit. Here we show that 1–3 respectively PB1, PB2 PA-like subunits active heterotrimeric maintains all domains found in distantly related influenza...
