Zika virus (ZIKV) was recently introduced into the Western Hemisphere, where it is suspected to be transmitted mainly by Aedes aegypti in urban environments.ZIKV represents a public health problem as it has been implicated in congenital microcephaly in South America since 2015.Reports of ZIKV transmission in forested areas of Africa raises the poss

The anti-cancer effect of Boesenbergin A (BA) isolated from Boesenbergia rotunda, via the induction of apoptosis resulting from mitochondrial dysfunction was assessed in human non-small cell lung cancer (A549) cells.The apoptotic mechanisms of BA induction on cancer cells were studied in the present study for the first time.Nuclear stain, measuring

Stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp.tritici (Pst) is a devastating wheat disease worldwide.Potential application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in detection of pathogen amounts in latently Pst-infected wheat leaves was investigated for disease prediction and control.A total of 300 near-infrared spectra were acquired from the Pst-i

Anomaly analysis is of great interest to diverse fields, including data mining and machine learning, and plays a critical role in a wide range of applications, such as medical health, credit card fraud, and intrusion detection.Recently, a significant number of anomaly detection methods with a variety of types have been witnessed.This paper intends

This work proposes a subwavelength porous meta-liner with broadband sound absorption from 900 to 1,200 Hz.The meta-liner consists of four subunits, which are made up of porous material and hollow coiling slit embedded in it.Each Swatch Book subunit is designed by adjusting the length of its coiling slit to achieve resonance in the target frequency
