Hence, this state-of-art strategy supplies a new approach for the fire hazards suppression of thermoplastic polymers.Hydroblasting is used to remove biofouling and exhausted antifouling paints from ship hulls. Effluents generated from this process contain paint particles, metals, and booster biocides that may have toxic effects on organisms. To…[Read more]

Multidrug resistance, especially carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter bacteria is a global healthcare concern. However, available data on the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of Acinetobacter isolates from West Africa, including Ghana is scanty. Our aim was to investigate the antibiotic resistance profile and genotypic characteristics of…[Read more]

Consistent with these findings, compounds that inhibit mitochondrial translation or replication had a greater effect on the growth of metastasis-derived cells. Finally, mice with established tumors developed fewer metastases upon treatment with phenformin in vivo. These results suggest that the metastatic cell state in lung adenocarcinoma is…[Read more]

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has attracted worldwide attention. Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f) Ness (AP) is naturally used to treat various diseases, including infectious diseases. Its Andrographolide has been clinically observed for anti-HIV and has also in silico tested for COVID-19 main protease inhibitors. Meanwhile, the…[Read more]

The challenges and perspectives in the synthesis of carbon dots from biomass wastes are also briefly outlined.Nanotechnology is a very attractive tool for tailoring the surface of an orthopedic implant to optimize its interaction with the biological environment. Nanostructured interfaces are promising, especially for orthopedic applications. They…[Read more]

The results of this study show that a 10-day grazing period during the growing season of the Desert Grassland is an effective strategy to avoid second defoliations on individual perennial grass plants while maintaining sufficient forage for use during the dormant winter grazing season.A biomechanical study was performed to identify the effect of…[Read more]

High Drinking in the Dark (HDID-1) mice represent a unique genetic risk model of binge-like drinking and a novel means of screening potential pharmacotherapies to treat alcohol use disorders (AUDs). We tested the effects of tacrolimus (0, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/kg), sirolimus (0, 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg), palmitoylethanolamide (PEA; 0, 75, 150, and 225…[Read more]

The current study also reveals that genotype 6 (2 were genotype 6h/6g and 2 were 6g/d) is also circulating in Pakistan and not restricted to South China and Hong Kong.Minerals are vital for many metabolic processes, and mineral deficiencies can adversely impact health and fitness. Mineral concentrations of food items are commonly reported in…[Read more]

The majority of crystal structures are determined by the method of molecular replacement (MR). The range of application of MR is limited mainly by the need for an accurate search model. In most cases, pre-existing experimentally determined structures are used as search models. In favorable cases, ab initio predicted structures have yielded search…[Read more]

caninum and presence of IgM antibodies are indicative of recent infection. Further studies are needed to establish the possibility of active infection.

To characterize the performance of 5th grade students from public and private elementary schools in auditory processing, receptive vocabulary, and reading comprehension.

The study…[Read more]

The particle number density at central regions of the farthest downstream is approximately three times larger than those of smaller mass loading ratios. Larger Stokes number particles reinforced the axial fluctuations up to 1.2 times that of the light particles, whereas ultralight particles increased tangential fluctuation to 2.5 times for axial…[Read more]

When industrial robots are adopted by firms in a local labor market, some workers are displaced and become unemployed. Other workers that are not directly affected by automation may however fear that these new technologies might replace their working tasks in the future. This fear of a possible future replacement is important because it negatively…[Read more]
