Abstract Background The engineering of fusion proteins has become increasingly important and most recently has formed the basis of many biosensors, protein purification systems, and classes of new drugs.Currently, most fusion proteins consist Dish cloth of three or fewer domains, however, more sophisticated designs could easily involve three or mor

Currently, revealing soil management strategies that store the maximum atmospheric CO2 in the soil is a major issue.This is best explored by investigating long-term experiments, like the Skierniewice (Poland) field trial, established in 1921 on sandy loam Luvisol.In this trial, the variants analyzed included control (CON), manure (MAN), legumes (LE

Walking-induced vibration control in wood floors is a critical issue attracting the attention of many researchers and engineers.This paper presents an experimental study applying static deflection tests, modal tests, and pedestrian load tests to a series of full-scale 12 m span tooth plates connected to wood truss joist floors with strongbacks and

Abstract Background There is good evidence for the effectiveness of opioid substitution therapy (OST) for injecting drug users (IDUs) in middle and high-income countries but little evidence regarding the provision of OST by non-government organisations (NGOs) in resource-poor settings.This paper reports on outcomes of an NGO-based OST program provi

The fatigue behavior of bolted joints is critical to failure for many Platform Base applications due to the high notch effect.Among other parameters, the lifetime is based on the influence of the surface system, consisting of corrosion protection and lubricant.With the intention of considering the surface system in the design and dimensioning proce
