Seagrass meadows provide valuable ecosystem benefits but are at risk from disease.Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a temperate species threatened by seagrass wasting disease (SWD), caused by the protist Labyrinthula zosterae.The pathogen is sensitive to warming ocean temperatures, prompting a need for dnd boysenberry greater understanding of the impact
Most previous analyses of scrapie outbreaks have focused on flocks run by research institutes, which may not reflect the field situation.Within this study, we attempt to rectify this deficit by describing the epidemiological characteristics of 30 sheep flocks naturally-infected with classical scrapie, and by exploring possible underlying causes of
The human immune repertoire retains the molecular memory of a very great diversity of target antigens (epitopes) and can recall this upon a second encounter with epitopes against which it has previously been primed.Although genetically diverse, proteins of coronaviruses exhibit sufficient conservation to lead to antigenic cross-reactions.In this re
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) results from atherosclerosis that leads to blocked arteries and reduced blood flow, most commonly in the arteries of the legs.PAD clinical trials to induce angiogenesis to improve blood flow conducted in the last decade have not succeeded.We have recently 2003 lexus es300 coolant type constructed PADPIN, protein-pr
Biological structures possess excellent damage tolerance, which makes them attractive for ballistic protection applications.This paper develops a finite element modelling framework to investigate the performance of several biological structures that are most relevant for ballistic protection, including nacre, conch, fish scales, and crustacean exos
