The Type III Secretion System (T3SS) is a macromolecular complex used by Gram-negative bacteria to secrete effector proteins from the cytoplasm across the bacterial envelope in a single step.For many pathogens, the T3SS is an essential virulence factor that enables the bacteria to interact with and manipulate their respective host.A characteristic
Activation Energy Measurement of Oxygen Ordering in a Nb-Ti Alloy by Anelastic Relaxation
Metals with bcc structure are able to dissolve large amounts of interstitial element atoms in the form of oxygen.These atoms diffuse through the lattice by jumping into octahedral sites with equivalent symmetry, causing strong alterations in the anelastic behavior.This paper reports on a study of Snoek relaxation in Nb-Ti alloys with oxygen in soli
Make blended learning happen: conditions for a successful change process in higher education institutions
The evolution of technology has influenced and, in some cases pushed, many change projects in any type of industry.Educational institutions have also been influenced by this technological evolution.This has generated some important shifts in the educational paradigm that have consequently lead to some changes in the learning processes.Although e-le
Foliar application of boron improved the yield and quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in a calcareous field
Boron (B) is vital for crops and helps in grain setting, but its deficiency is increasing due to its fixation in calcareous soils of Pakistan which results in premature opening of spikelets and failure of grain production in wheat thus leading to the reduced crop yield and economic return.To overcome this problem, a field trial was carried Ceramic
A Case of an Obstructed Delivery by a Large, Lower Uterine Segment Fibroid Interlocked with a Fetal Mentum
Uterine leiomyomata are associated with many pregnancy complications and will likely become increasingly common as the average age of childbearing Lights increases.We describe a case of an obstructed delivery by a large fibroid.A 37-year-old G2P1001 with a 10-cm anterior, lower uterine segment fibroid presented for labor induction.Labor was complic
