USAGE AND VALIDATION OF A FLUID STRUCTURE INTERACTION METHODOLOGY FOR THE STUDY OF DIFFERENT SUCTION VALVE PARAMETERS OF A HERMETIC RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR

Usage and validation of a fluid structure interaction methodology for the study of different suction valve parameters of a hermetic reciprocating compressor

The dynamics of the flatter valves inside a hermetic reciprocating compressor used in household appliances is the most important factor concerning the gas dynamic behaviour of such a compressor.Hence for a good valve design and for a reliable simulation of the compressor the ability to Wet Food predict the movement of the valves is indispensable.Th

Interaction of Phytophthora sojae Effector Avr1b With E3 Ubiquitin Ligase GmPUB1 Is Required for Recognition by Soybeans Carrying Phytophthora Resistance Rps1-b and Rps1-k Genes

Phytophthora sojae is an oomycete that causes stem and root rot disease in soybean.P.sojae delivers many RxLR effector proteins, including Avr1b, into host cells to promote infection.We show here that Avr1b interacts with the soybean U-box protein, GmPUB1-1, in yeast two-hybrid, pull down, and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BIFC) assays.

Sequential SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccination Induces Anti-Idiotype (Anti-ACE2) Antibodies in K18 Human ACE2 Transgenic Mice

Background/Objectives: Novel mRNA vaccines have been successfully utilized to curtail the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.However, the immunology underlying CoV2 vaccinations, particularly with repeated boosting, has not been properly characterized due to limitations in the preclinical modeling of SARS-CoV-2 infection/vaccinations as well as constantly changin

Biogenic Calcium Phosphate from Fish Discards and By-Products

Every year, millions of tons of fish waste are generated from fishing activities, and a similar amount is discarded and returned to the sea as unwanted catches.This material can be used as a biological source for many potential new added-value products, such asobtaining hyaluronic acid from fish eyeballs or extracting collagen from fish skin, but t
