This paper proposes a novel approach for fast human exposure absorbed power density assessment, based on a combination of over-the-air radiative field measurements and full-wave electromagnetic simulations.This so-called augmented OTA technique relies on the computation of an equivalent source or digital twin, which reproduces the radiation propert
Natural transformation is the widespread biological process by which "competent" bacteria take up free DNA, incorporate it into their genomes, and become genetically altered or "transformed".To curb often deleterious transformation by foreign DNA, several competent species preferentially take up their own DNA that contains specific DUS (DNA uptake
BackgroundAlthough reduced glutathione (rGSH) is decreased in obese mice and humans, block of GSH synthesis by buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) results in a lean, insulin-sensitive phenotype.Data is lacking about the effect of BSO on GSH precursors, cysteine and glutamate.Plasma total cysteine (tCys) is here positively associated with stearoyl-coenzyme
In fusion devices, plasma-facing components (PFCs) play a critical role in withstanding severe thermal conditions resulting from cyclic high heat flux (HHF) loads.The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and next-generation fusion devices are expected to employ actively cooled tungsten/copper (W/Cu) monoblocks as divertor targets
IntroductionThe Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are two invertatop squeeze bottle highly contagious coronaviruses causing MERS and COVID-19, respectively, without an effective antiviral drug and a long-lasting vaccine.Approaches for diagnosis, therapeutics,
