Flame-retardant polymeric coatings with high limiting oxygen index (LOI) were prepared by combining inorganic mineral huntite (H5) and additives synthesized in the present work into a formulation. In order to improve dispersion of Mg- (and Ca)-based H5 particles, containing phosphonium acidic groups employed homogenize fillers polymer matrix. Specific blend combinations commercial matrix Ecrovi...

INTRODUCTION The recent emergence of avian influenza strains has fuelled concern about pandemic preparedness since vaccines targeting these viruses are often poorly immunogenic. Weak antibody responses to vaccines have been seen across multiple platforms including plant-made VLPs. To better understand these differences, we compared the in vitro responses of human immune cells exposed to plant-m...

Cosmological parameters affect observables in physically distinct ways. For example, the baryon density, ωb, affects the ionization history and also the pressure of the pre-recombination fluid. To investigate the relative importance of different physical effects to the determination of ωb, and to test the cosmological model, we artificially split ωb into two ‘metaparameters’: ωbe which controls...

I n recent years, highly pathogenic avian infl uenza A viruses of the H5N1 subtype have crossed the species barrier and infected humans in many parts of the world. These strains continue to evolve and expand their host range, and have been associated with greater than 50 percent mortality [1]. No vaccines directed against H5N1 strains are commercially available for humans, and the development o...
