Free-living amoebae in water are hosts to many bacterial species living in such an environment. Such an association enables bacteria to select virulence factors and survive in adverse conditions. Waterborne mycobacteria (WBM) are important sources of community- and hospital-acquired outbreaks of nontuberculosis mycobacterial infections. However, the interactions between WBM and free-living amoe...

As the most abundant aromatic compounds, lignin is still underutilized due to its relatively low quality. In order to improve its quality, two pretreatment technologies, wet ball milling (WBM) and ionic liquid pretreatment (ILP) were tested on the industrial lignin and evaluated on the average molecular weight and polydispersity, surface morphology, and functional groups changes. The results sh...

The steady-state vibro-acoustic behavior of a plate–cavity system under harmonic excitations and static temperature loads is investigated using Wave Based Method (WBM). solutions the governing equations problem considering thermal effects are derived. coupled wave based model constructed on functions particular solution for acoustic structural system. accuracy efficiency WBM verified by Finite ...

Local vibration absorbers, such as tuned vibration absorbers or local active control systems, can be used to reduce the response of structural components. The optimisation of the position, the number and the properties of these absorbers, is however a problem of many unknowns. This paper studies the use of an efficient simulation technique, namely the wave based method (WBM), in order to obtain...

This article proposes a wavelet-based monitor (WBM) for grid impedance estimation, which combines transient detection scheme (WB-TDS) and estimator (WB-GIE). The WB-TDS employs the analysis of wavelet coefficients energy detecting changing, whereas WB-GIE estimates by using real-time stationary discrete packet transform associated with signal injection scheme. During triggers injecting an inter...

BACKGROUND Our group has previously demonstrated that murine whole bone marrow cells (WBM) that internalize lung-derived extracellular vesicles (LDEVs) in culture express pulmonary epithelial cell-specific genes for up to 12 weeks. In addition, the lungs of lethally irradiated mice transplanted with lung vesicle-modulated marrow have 5 times more WBM-derived type II pneumocytes compared to mice...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to verify the clinical-feasibility of additive manufacturing by comparing the accuracy of four different manufacturing methods for metal coping: the conventional lost wax technique (CLWT); subtractive methods with wax blank milling (WBM); and two additive methods, multi jet modeling (MJM), and micro-stereolithography (Micro-SLA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thi...

Method for image source separation based on Independent Component Analysis: ICA, Maximum Entropy Method: MEM, and Wavelet Based Method: WBM is proposed. Experimental results show that image separation can be done from the combined different images by using the proposed method with an acceptable residual error. Keywords-Blind separation; image separation; cucktail party effect; ICA; MEM; wavelet...

The lymphatic filarial parasite, Brugia malayi contains Wolbachia endobacteria that are essential for development, viability and fertility of the parasite. Therefore, wolbachial proteins have been currently seen as the potential antifilarial drug targets. NAD(+)-dependent DNA ligase is characterized as a promising drug target in several organisms due to its crucial, indispensable role in DNA re...
