The aim of this study was to investigate the dimensional stability and mold resistance slivers from outer inner layers bamboo treated with alkali solutions at various concentrations. microstructure considerably changed as parenchyma cells collapsed after treatment followed by a drying process. water absorption increased, while decreased, especially for layer bamboo. removed starch in 2% 15% sol...

Invasive infections caused by filamentous fungi are a major threat for immunocompromised patients. Innate/acquired resistance to antifungal drugs might necessitate combination therapies. We assessed the potential combination of voriconazole with miltefosine, an original drug with antifungal activity against 33 clinically relevant mold isolates, including both azole-susceptible and -resistant As...

Scedosporium apiospermum, a ubiquitous environmental mold, is increasingly reported as causing invasive fungal disease in immunocompromised hosts. It poses a therapeutic challenge due to its intrinsic resistance to traditional antifungals and ability to recur despite demonstrating susceptibility. We present an immunocompromised patient with a cutaneous S. apiospermum infection that disseminated...

The corrosion resistance of the cooling channel in water-cooled mold has an important impact on application mold. In this paper, influence experimental temperature roughness and U-shaped channels prepared by casting is analyzed detail. results show that increased from 998 to 1048K; hole wall decreased 83.264 76.287. However, with a further increase temperature. Because low will promote formatio...

Molten metal meniscus profile and mold flux channel width were measured under high frequency magnetic field by model experiments, then the dynamic pressure in mold flux channel were calculated during one mold oscillation period. It is found that the high frequency magnetic field can decrease the dynamic pressure greatly, which may be one mechanism of improving the billets surface quality by the...

The ascomycete pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic pathogen on over 400 known host plants, and is the causal agent of white mold on dry bean. Currently, there are no known cultivars of dry bean with complete resistance to white mold. For more than 20 years, bean breeders have been using white mold screening nurseries (wmn) with natural populations of S. sclerotiorum to screen ne...
