Myeloid phagocytes have evolved to rapidly recognize invading pathogens and clear them through opsonophagocytic killing.The adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) of Bordetella pertussis and the edema toxin (ET) of Bacillus anthracis are both calmodulin-activated toxins with adenylyl cyclase activity that invade host cells and massively increase the cellul
Research on the geological process of river action on the toppling deformation of rocky bank slopes in V-shaped gorge reservoirs
The toppling deformation in bank slope of V-shaped Gorge reservoirs in Southwest China is very common.After the impoundment of the reservoir, geological disasters such as collapse and landslide may occur in toppling bank slope, which poses a threat to the normal operation of hydropower projects and personnel safety.Therefore, it is of great enginee
A Probabilistic Design Methodology for a Turboshaft Engine Overall Performance Analysis
In reality, the cumulative effect of the many uncertainties in engine component performance may stack up to affect the Ostomy Supplies engine overall performance.This paper aims to quantify the impact of uncertainty in engine component performance on the overall performance of a turboshaft engine based on Monte-Carlo probabilistic design method.A n
Virtually naked: virtual environment reveals sex-dependent nature of skin disclosure.
The human Bottles tendency to reveal or cover naked skin reflects a competition between the individual propensity for social interactions related to sexual appeal and interpersonal touch versus climatic, environmental, physical, and cultural constraints.However, due to the ubiquitous nature of these constraints, isolating on a large scale the spont
