Dietary analysis of herbivorous insects relies on successfully eliminating surface contamination.If this cannot be performed reliably, then it will not be possible to differentiate between plants that the insect is feeding on and Body Weight Scales plants the insect has been in contact with, either directly or via pollen.Methods in the literature o
This paper presents results from blast tests conducted on four 50 MPa concrete slabs with reinforcement ratios of 0,175% and 0,37%.Two of the slabs were retrofitted with 50 mm thick foam in order to investigate the potential of using the foam as a strengthening option.The slabs were simply supported on two sides.Non-confined PBX (Plastic bonded exp
Tradition wireless sensor networks (WSNs) transmit data by single or multiple hops.However, some sensor nodes (SNs) close to a static base station forward data more frequently than others, which results in the problem of energy holes and makes networks fragile.One promising solution is to use a mobile node as a mobile sink (MS), which is especially
Simultaneous carriage of more than one strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae promotes horizontal gene transfer events and may lead to capsule switch and acquisition of antibiotic resistance.We studied the epidemiology of cocolonization with S.pneumoniae before and after introduction of the seven-valent conjugated pneumococcal vaccine (PCV7).Nasopharyn
Purpose: Based on WHO report, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second cause of death among patients with cancer worldwide.Dysregulation of miRNAs expressions has been demonstrated in different human cancers, especially CRC.Studies have shown that miR-330 could act as both TS-miR and/or oncomiR in different types of cancers.BACH1 is also identified as
