Non-replicating vaccines, such as those based on recombinant proteins, require adjuvants and delivery systems, which have thus far depended on mimicking pathogen danger signals and strong pro-inflammatory responses. In search of a safer and more efficacious alternative, we tested whether vaccinations with influenza recombinant hemagglutinin (HA) mixed with a novel vegetable oil in water emulsio...

Modern highway engineers have designed and constructed the great­ est road system the world has ever known. This accomplishment is a credit to the individuals and to our profession as a whole. I t is entirely proper for us to brag about our past accomplishments and the good jobs that we have built. We must, however, remember that terms such as “good”, “excel­ lent”, and “satisfactory” are only ...

Owing to the complex condition and non-visualization of human intestinal, Loop formation of colonoscope often happens to hurt the patient during the diagnosis of colon. This paper presents a deformation sensing method using Fiber Brag Grating(FBG) sensor net to real-time display the shape of colonoscope that would help the endoscopist how to manipulate the colonoscope into the body and reduce t...

Liver disease is one of the most risk factors threatening human health. It is of great significance to find drugs that can treat liver diseases, especially for acute and chronic hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and liver cancer. The search for drugs with good efficacy from traditional natural medicines has attracted more and more attention. Tibetan medicine, one of the China's trad...

Recent research has identified a relatively new trend among youth (12e24) living in violent urban neighborhoods. These youth use social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to brag about violence, make threats, recruit gang members and to plan criminal activity known as Internet banging. Studies have typically examined youth communication by mining data on social media and surv...

The phenomenological boundary conditions for the envelope wave function, which is applicable for contacts of semiconductors with a rather different crystal symmetry are proposed. It is shown that the boundary conditions are determined by the number of the real values, which are independent of the electron energy. The number of these parameters depends on the symmetry of the bordered materials a...

This study investigated the relationship between assumed-competence (based on undervaluing others in general belief) and learning-related communication. Two-hundred-seventy-one high school students completed a questionnaire measured assumed-competence, engagement in study-related conversations with friends (planned courses after high school, students' own achievements in learning, school subjec...

Over the last three decades extensive research has been carried out towards the design and development of fibre optic hydrophones. The inherent advantages of fibre optic sensing technology, like high sensitivity, immunity to electromagnetic interference, intrinsic safety to water leakage, remote measurement capability etc. makes it an ideal choice for underwater acoustic sensing[1, 2]. The init...

more than one percent of the labor force in each country consists of welders exposed to various damages caused by welding. the number of studies conducted in this field is low, especially in iran. in this paper, we tried to discover any temporary and reversible obstructive effect of welding fumes on the respiratory systems of welders. in this cross-sectional study, peak expiratory flow rates an...
