Abstract Background Aflatoxins are carcinogenic compounds produced by certain species of Aspergillus fungi.The consumption of crops contaminated with this toxin cause serious detrimental health effects, including death, in both livestock and humans.As a consequence, both the detection and quantification of this toxin in food/feed items is tightly r
The grounding of choice of necessary construction of retaining protective buildings and their location on landslide areas is carried out.It has been here noted that the efficiency of protective measures is provided on condition of landslide process development studying, the geological structure of the sliding dangerous territory, the form and condi
Aiming at addressing the problem that the joints are easily destroyed by the impact torque during the process of space robot on-orbit capturing a non-cooperative spacecraft, a reinforcement learning control algorithm combined with a compliant mechanism is proposed to achieve buffer compliance control.The compliant mechanism can not only absorb the
Reviewer assignment is here critical to peer review systems, such as peer-reviewed research conferences or peer-reviewed funding applications, and its effectiveness is a deep concern of all academics.However, there are some problems in existing peer review systems during reviewer assignment.For example, some of the reviewers are much more stringent
The IFN-inducible antiviral protein tetherin (or BST-2/CD317/HM1.24) impairs release of mature HIV-1 particles from infected cells.HIV-1 Vpu antagonizes the effect of tetherin.The fate of virions trapped at the cell surface remains poorly understood.Here, we asked whether tetherin impairs HIV cell-to-cell transmission, a major means of viral spread
