Draft genome sequences of two hypermucoviscous carbapenem-resistant ST25 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains causing respiratory and systemic infections

ABSTRACT: Objectives: The emergence and spread of hypermucoviscous KPC-2-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains belonging to the sequence type 25 (ST25) clone was reported recently in Northwest Argentina as a leading cause of nosocomial in...

Immunology for physicists

The immune system is a complex system of cells and molecules that can provide us with a basic defense against pathogenic organisms. Like the nervous system, the immune system performs pattern recognition tasks, learns, and retains a memory ...

Basic Immunology

A knowledge of immunology is essential in developing ELISAs. Information about the specific system and similar systems already studied from the biochemical and immunological aspects is important to allow development of assays and to determi...

Fundamental Immunology

The first great revolution in immunology is credited to Louis Pasteur. Among the many achievements stemming from that early period is the elimination of smallpox from the entire world in 1977, a century later. The second great revolution, b...

Carbon dioxide uptake in a eutrophic stratified reservoir: Freshwater carbon sequestration potential

Carbon capture and storage due to photosynthesis activities has been proposed as a carbon sink to mitigate climate change. To enhance such mitigation, previous studies have shown that freshwater lakes should be included in the carbon sink, ...

Uncertainties in the effects of organic aerosol coatings on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations and their estimated health effects

We used the CAM5 model to examine how different particle-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degradation approaches affect the spatial distribution of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP). Three approaches were evaluated: NOA (no effect of OA coati...

Coal mine methane emissions quantification based on vehicle-based monitoring

Obtaining accurate emissions of methane (CH_4), one of the most important non-carbon-dioxide greenhouse gases, is the basis for formulating and validating emission reduction policies. In terms of shortcomings from the "bottom-up" approach, ...

The use of plant waste to ensure the functioning of agricultural energy complexes

RELEVANCE. Agricultural enterprises generate vegetable waste, which is difficult to utilize. Such waste can be used for combustion in boilers, providing thermal and electric energy to an agricultural energy complex. A hybrid mini-thermal po...
