ABSTRACT Historically, all efforts against tuberculosis were focused on rapid diagnosis and effective treatment to break the chain of transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.However, in the last few years, more and more evidence has been found on the dramatic consequences of the condition defined as post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD).Approxim
In this study, the effects of the use of improved fusel oil on engine performance and on Chrome Powder exhaust emissions in a spark-ignition engine were investigated experimentally in consideration of the water, gum, and moisture content at high compression ratios according to TS EN 228 standards.In the study, a four-stroke, single-cylinder, air-co
Chagas disease (CD) causes the highest burden of parasitic diseases in the Western Hemisphere and is therefore a priority for drug research and development.Platelet-activating factor (PAF) causes the CD parasite Trypanosoma cruzi to differentiate, which suggests that the parasite may express PAF receptors.Here, we Purse explored the T.cruzi proteom
ABSTRACT: In pastures, the incidence of weeds reduces the productivity and quality of forage.The COQ10 W HAWTHORN identification of the weed species in pastures is fundamental to choose the renewal method.Thus, the objective of this work was to perform phytosociology before and after the renewal of a Brachiaria decumbens pasture, with the implantat
