Neisseria meningitidis are prototypical type IV pili-expressing Gram-negative bacteria responsible for life threatening sepsis and meningitis. This species has evolved several genetic strategies to modify the surface of its type IV pili, changing pilin subunit amino acid sequence, nature of glycosylation...
erythropus as a typical Selaginella for comparison. Leaf veins of both S. schaffneri and S. erythropus originate from a single vascular strand in the stem and have no leaf gaps. In S. schaffneri, this single vascular strand prominently enlarges as a hub-like vein node at the leaf base...
Improved vaccination requires better delivery of antigens and activation of the natural immune response. Here we report a lipid nanoparticle system with the capacity to carry antigens, including mRNA and proteins, which is formed into a virus-like struct
It is known that two distinctive phases of dislocation structures, namely the wall-structure of the persistent slip bands (PSBs) and the vein-structure of the matrix, form in a fatigued single crystal. This letter presents TEM observations on copper crystals oriented for double-slip, [122], ...
The Maiolica structures, however, lack the concentric and azimuthally distributed radial cracks characteristics of blast-induced structures. The structures we describe here display all the features typical of blast-induced explosion fractures. In this study, we have made field measurements of the size ...
An earthquake of magnitude M5.7 occurred in Yamutu village, Songyuan City, Jilin Province, NE China (45°16′12″N/124°42′35″E) on May 28, 2018, with a focal depth of 13 km. The epicenter is located at the intersection of the Fuyu/Songyuan-Zhaodong Fault, Second Songhua River...
Fouling of maritime infrastructure is pervasive due to abundant biological and chemical activity within the oceanic environment. Marine biofilms and their successional growths are prevalent issues in biofouling, but current industrial and research-based
It will run a lower resolution model (3mm instead of 1.5mm). --preview: This will generate a 3D rendering of all classes, giving you a quick overview if the segmentation worked and where it failed (see preview.png in output directory). --ml: This will save one nifti file containing ...
A potential therapeutic strategy for diabetes is the transplantation of induced-insulin secreting cells. Based on the common embryonic origin of liver and
Fig. 13(A-D) depicts the skeleton and microstructure of a typical EA sponge, as well as the composition of the sponge. EA's skeletal system features a porous architecture with symmetrical free space. It is made up of tiny fibres of silica ceramic and organic components that constitute the ...
