The agglutinin-like sequence (ALS) gene family encodes cell-surface adhesins that interact with host and abiotic surfaces, promoting colonization by opportunistic fungal pathogens such as Candida tropicalis.Studies of Als protein contribution to C.tropicalis adhesion would benefit from an accurate catalog of ALS gene sequences as well as insight in
Computational simulations of the effects of social distancing interventions on the COVID-19 pandemic
The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has been considered as a global issue.Based on the reported cases and clinical data, there are still required international efforts and more preventative measures to control the pandemic more effectively.Physical contact between Scissors individuals plays an essential role in spreading the coronavirus more widely
Physicochemical and catalytic behavior of binary mixtures of n-alkyl imidazolium bromide ionic liquids with poly (ethylene glycol)-400: Application of flory statistical theory
In this work, Flory statistical theory is employed to predict the important physicochemical properties namely density, isothermal compressibility, internal pressure, coefficient of volume expansion, energy of vaporization, heat of vaporization, cohesive energy density, solubility parameter and polarity index for three binary mixtures of PEG-400 + [
Forest damage and snow avalanche flow regime
Snow avalanches break, uproot and overturn trees causing damage to forests.The extent of forest damage provides useful information on avalanche frequency and intensity.However, impact forces depend on avalanche flow regime.In this paper, we define avalanche loading cases Cyclist Accessories - Hydration representing four different avalanche flow reg
Long Term Evaluation of the Barrier Properties of Polymer/Metal Oxide Hybrid Layers for Use in Medical Implants
Encapsulation is essential for mechanically flexible and electrically active implants as it protects them from the harsh environment inside the body.Since the performance and longevity of implants depends on the quality of encapsulation, research continues into new and better encapsulation strategies.Chemical vapour deposition can be Accessories us
