Cavitation bubbles occur when the US strength is high enough to generate rarefaction that exceeds the intermolecular attraction forces in the medium.…[Read more]

No hand washing centers for pupils were also seen in most of the schools studied. Majority of the cooks did not have health certificate, and neither had attended any in-service training in two years. In both Wa and Cape Coast municipal schools, none of the kitchen staff admitted that pupils and teachers ever complained about the meals they served…[Read more]

 parva coelomic extract. Our results suggested that H. parva coelomic extract could be useful for improving the fertilising ability of frozen-thawed human semen. © 2020 Blackwell Verlag GmbH.1.Recent findings suggest that the colonization of habitat patches may be affected by the quality of surrounding patches. For instance, patches that lack…[Read more]

Facilitators of IRS uptake included a perceived effectiveness of IRS in preventing malaria and reducing mosquito bites, incidental benefits, respect for authority, training and capacity building, and sensitization activities. CONCLUSION The numerous barriers to indoor residual spraying acceptance and implications show that acceptance levels could…[Read more]

Anticoagulant protein S (PS) in platelets (PSplt) resembles plasma PS and is released upon platelet activation; but its role in thrombosis has not been elucidated. Here we report that inactivation of PSplt expression using the Pf4-Cre transgene (Pros1lox/loxPf4-Cre+) in mice promotes thrombus propensity in the vena cava where shear rates are low,…[Read more]

In DH5α, aar affected expression of E. coli genes in some cases via H-NS, and in some cases independent of H-NS. Our data supports the model that Aar interacts in concert with AggR, H-NS, and possibly other regulators, and that these interactions are likely to be functionally significant in vivo.
