Infections are most common and most severe at the extremes of age, the young and the elderly.Vaccination can be a key approach to enhance immunogenicity and protection against pathogens in these vulnerable populations, who have a functionally distinct immune system compared to other age groups.More than 50% of the vaccine market is for pediatric us

Long series of groynes are built from both river sides to narrow river channels and prevent bank erosion with the aim to improve the conditions for inland navigation and prevent lateral channel migration.Single groynes or short series of groynes are built to impede local bank erosion, deviate the water flow, free an intake or fix the position of bl

In the last years, a substantial contribution of red blood cells (RBCs) in cardiovascular homeostasis has been evidenced, as these cells are able to regulate cardiovascular function by the export of adenosine triphosphate and nitric oxide as well as to maintain redox balance through a well-developed antioxidant system.Recently a link between high-r

Chain flail delimbing and debarking may improve value recovery from small tree harvests, without renouncing the benefits of multi-tree processing.The technology is mature and capable of excellent performance, which has been documented in many benchmark studies.This paper offers new insights into the relationship between the performance of chain fla

Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor MYC2 regulates plant growth and development in many aspects through the jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathway, while the role of MYC2 in plant carbohydrate metabolism has not been reported.Here, we generated NtMYC2a-overexpressing (NtMYC2a-OE) and RNA-interference-mediated knockdown (NtMYC2a-RI) tra
