Pursuing Advances in DNA Sequencing Technology to Solve a Complex Genomic Jigsaw Puzzle: The Agglutinin-Like Sequence (ALS) Genes of Candida tropicalis

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

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
