Abstract Background The transmission of drug-resistant parasites by the mosquito may be influenced by the altered biological fitness of drug-resistant parasites and different immune reactions or metabolic change in the mosquito.At this point, little is known about the variations in mosquito immunity and metabolism when mosquitoes are infected with
Assessment of stresses in reinforcement in the area of joints in composite steel-concrete slabs
The article draws attention to certain aspects of calculating the width of cracks and stresses in composite elements under bending, in which the slab is located in the tension zone.If semi-rigid joints are used in the element, in which the beam is attached to the column by bolts, two types of areas should be distinct in which Multi-objective optimi
Genome-Wide fitness analysis of group B Streptococcus in human amniotic fluid reveals a transcription factor that controls multiple virulence traits.
Streptococcus agalactiae (group B Streptococcus; GBS) remains a dominant cause of serious neonatal infections.One aspect of GBS that renders it particularly virulent during the perinatal period is its ability to invade the chorioamniotic membranes and persist in amniotic fluid, Hepatitis B virus induces IL-23 production in antigen presenting cells
THE IMPACT OF POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC NEWS ON THE EURO/RON EXCHANGE RATE: A GARCH APPROACH
Within this study we try to capture the impact of political news and economic Asesinato en el aire desde la mente del perpetrador: A bordo del Vuelo 9525 Germanwings news from euro area on the exchange rate between Romanian currency and euro.In order to do this we used a GARCH model.As we observed, both variables influence the exchange rate, this f
Mechanical canopy and trunk shaking for the harvesting mechanization of table olive orchards
Table olive harvesting is highly dependent on manual labour and may jeopardize the crop benefit.The introduction of a mechanical harvest system requires a global evaluation of the whole process.A trunk shaker along with shaker combs and a continuous canopy shaker harvester have been tested in two orchards with different tree training and layout to
