Flagella-driven motility enables bacteria to reach their favorable niche within the host. The human foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni produces two heavily glycosylated structural flagellins (FlaA and FlaB) that form the flagellar filament. It also encodes the non-structural FlaC flagellin which is secreted through the flagellum and has been implicated in host cell invasion. The mechanisms...

Soft soils are widespread in many areas of the East-West highway Algeria, covering large areas. Construction projects such as embankments, airfields, roads, and railways experience several problems due to their low strength permeability. This study used a fully dynamic analysis evaluate response embankment. The numerical was carried out using FLAC 2D version 8.10 software. main objective effect...

Cumulative thrombocytopenia is a dose-limiting toxicity of dose-intensive chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer. In this phase I study, we have studied the hematologic toxicity associated with sequential interleukin-3 (IL-3) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF; molgramostim) administration after multiple cycles of FLAC (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, doxorubicin, cycloph...

Audio compression is used everywhere – largely due to the rise of the internet, computers, and embedded systems. Since original, uncompressed digital recordings are very large in size, efficient ways are needed to compress large audio signals into small, high-quality, convenient formats. While lossy audio formats, like MP3, are widely popular in many everyday applications, lossless formats are ...

In this study, we investigate the effects of CO2 laser polishing on microscopic structures fabricated by femtosecond laser assisted carving (FLAC). FLAC is the peripheral laser irradiation of 2.5D structures suitable for low repetition rate lasers and is first used to define the microwell structures in fused silica followed by chemical etching. Subsequently, the bottom surface of patterned micr...
