ABSTRACT The high global burden of cryptococcosis has made development of a protective vaccine a public health priority.We previously demonstrated that a vaccine composed of recombinant Cryptococcus neoformans chitin deacetylase 2 (Cda2) delivered in glucan particles (GPs) protects BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice from an otherwise lethal challenge with a h

Improving the displacement efficiency of capillary entrapments in porous media by adding high molecular weight polymers to the invading phase has various industrial applications, from enhanced oil recovery to soil remediation.Apart from an increased viscosity contrast compared to regular water flooding, the flow of viscoelastic polymer solutions ex

Plantations with fast growing exotic tree species can negatively affect native plant species diversity and promote the spread of alien species.Mediterranean Chile experienced major landscape changes with a vast expansion of industrial plantations of Pinus radiata in the past.However, with increasing knowledge of biodiversity effects on ecosystem se

Brain tumor-related epilepsy is a common complication of primary and metastatic brain tumors with seizures often representing the first manifestation of the tumor.The size and location of the tumor can make detection of epileptiform discharges on scalp electroencephalogram and safe surgical resection challenging.We describe a case of a patient with

The behavior of ITER-like W/Cu plasma facing components under complex conditions in current tokamaks is one of the main concerns for ITER.EAST has installed a full upper W divertor with the ITER-like W/Cu monoblocks as targets since 2014.A melting failure of CuCrZr cooling tube of W/Cu monoblocks has occurred during the Male Masturbators plasma cam
