Abstract Background Host serine proteases are essential for the influenza virus life cycle because the viral haemagglutinin is ARGAN OIL synthesized as a precursor which requires proteolytic maturation.Therefore, we studied the activity and expression of serine proteases in lungs from mice infected with influenza and evaluated the effect of serine

Up to date, biomimicry has aided in designing novel ideas and solving various problems in the field of civil engineering.For example, the concept of a load carrying process from a tree can be used to design an effective bridge.Inspired by nature, the authors have adopted the concept Jump Starters of how spiders use vibrations to monitor the state o

Previous earthquake experiences have shown that conventional yielding dampers designed for an earthquake intensity cannot perform adequately at higher intensity levels.This paper addresses this issue by proposing a two-level yielding configuration for knee-braced steel frames having an innovative deformation-controlled ring damper (CRD).The propose

Abstract Background HTLV-I infected patients often complain of urinary symptomatology.Epidemiological studies have suggested that these individuals have a higher prevalence and incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) than seronegative controls.However, the diagnosis of UTI in these studies relied only on patient information and did not require c
