background and aims: coxsackievirus b3 (cvb3) is the most common agent known to cause viral myocarditis. the viral genome encodes a single polyprotein that is cleaved to produce several proteins by virally encoded proteases. most of this proteolytic processing is catalyzed by a cysteine protease called 3c. the 3c protease plays major role in viral replication and cellular damage. methods: to un...

due to the algorithmic simplicity, cellular automata (ca) models are useful and simple methods in structural optimization. in this paper, a cellular-automaton-based algorithm is presented for simultaneous shape and topology optimization of continuum structures, using five-step optimization procedure. two objective functions are considered and the optimization process is converted to the single ...

A two-stage desulfurization process including an abiotic filtration using cellular concrete waste (first stage) and anoxic biotrickling filter filling with inoculated expanded schist material (second was investigated to remove H2S in mimic biogas limited O2 amount (ranged from 0.5 0.8%). The able satisfactorily for all experimental conditions (RE > 97%; concentration = 1500 mg m−3; total Emp...
