Eliminating pathogen exposure is an important approach to control outbreaks of epidemics such as COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019).To deal with pathogenic environments, using disinfection robots is a practicable choice.This research formulates a 3D (three-dimensional) spatial disinfection strategy for a disinfection robot.First, a disinfection ro
Legume plants interact with rhizobia to form nitrogen-fixing root nodules.Legume-rhizobium interactions are specific and only compatible rhizobia and plant species will lead to nodule formation.Even within compatible interactions, the genotype of both the plant and the bacterial symbiont will impact on the efficiency of nodule functioning and nitro
ABSTRACT: Accurate lifetime predictions are critical for repurposing existing pipelines for hydrogen transmission as well as for developing novel steels which are minimally susceptible to lifetime degradation by hydrogen.Ultimately, lifetime prediction models assess the amount of damage a material undergoes during a typical service cycle and the cu
ABSTRACT Vibrio cholerae is an aquatic organism that causes the severe acute diarrheal disease cholera.The ability of V.cholerae to cause hyfrodol disease is dependent upon the production of two critical virulence determinants, cholera toxin (CT) and the toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP).The expression of the genes that encode for CT and TCP production
Small wind turbines (SWTs) have become increasingly common within the last decade, but their impact on wildlife, especially bats, is largely unknown.We conducted an operational experiment by sequentially placing a mobile SWT with five different operational modes at six sites of high bat activity, including roosts, commuting structures, and highly f
