Type III CRISPR systems detect foreign RNA and activate the cyclase domain of the Cas10 subunit, generating cyclic oligoadenylate (cOA) molecules that act as a second messenger to signal infection, activating nucleases that degrade the nucleic acid of both invader and host.This can lead to dormancy or cell death; to avoid this, cells need a way to
Aim: Thoracoscopy offers great advantages when compared with open surgery in terms of postoperative pain and pulmonary complications.Considering the benign nature of most of the mediastinal cysts, thoracoscopy is safe and feasible with minimal morbidity.The purpose of this article is to review our experience with four cases of mediastinal cysts res
This paper proposes and studies a ring-shaped architecture with Halbach configuration for electromagnetic vibration energy harvesters.The proposed transducer consists of three ring magnets with a linear Halbach array that concentrates its magnetic field in the inner space of the mechanism where a single vertically-centered concentric coil has been
IntroductionThe current state of anthropogenic climate change is particularly concerning for tropical insects, species predicted to be the most negatively affected.Researching climatic tolerance in social insects is challenging because adaptations exist at both individual and societal levels.Division of labor research helps to bridge the gap betwee
To reduce the negative impacts of stall and surge on compressor performance, a novel combined casing treatment (CCT) structure with axial skewed slots and injection groove is proposed in this paper.The aerodynamic performance, as well as the mechanisms of loss generation, of a transonic axial compressor with NASA Rotor 67 are investigated numerical
