Recent influenza surveillance data from Africa suggest an important burden of influenza-associated morbidity and mortality.In tropical countries where influenza virus transmission may not be confined to a single season alternative strategies for vaccine distribution via antenatal care (ANC) or semiannual campaigns should be considered.Using data on
Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum (Tp) is the causative agent of syphilis which mainly spreads through sexual contact, blood transfusion and perinatal route.In order to curtail the spread of the infection and to clinically manage the disease, timely, accurate and reliable diagnosis is very important.We have developed an immunoassay for the det
Shape memory alloy (SMA) bidimensional cellular structures (CSs) have a great potential application in attenuation of vibrations due to reversible martensitic phase transformations induced by thermal or mechanical loading.This work aims to produce a thermal and mechanical characterization of CuAlMn SMA CSs produced by rapid investment casting (RIC)
Scutellaria wuana, a new species discovered from a xeric valley in Muli County of Sichuan Province in southwest China, is described and illustrated.Morphologically, the new species shares similarities with Building Set S.mairei, but can be readily distinguished by a suite of morphological characters including a white-pubescent erect stem, conspicuo
