In the present research, mass transfer resistances of various steps of uranium biosorption using Pseudomonas putida @ Chitosan biosorbent in a fixed bed column were calculated.The description process dynamic parameters using dimensionless numbers showed that the Biot number was greater than 30 in all experiments which confirms the high mass transfe
Sour rot (SR) is a disease complex that affects grape berries during ripening and can cause severe yield losses and deterioration of wine quality.The etiology and epidemiology of the disease remain uncertain, which has severely limited the development of specific, targeted management strategies.In this study, a network meta-analysis was applied to
ABSTRACT Plasmodium parasites and related pathogens contain an essential nonphotosynthetic plastid organelle, the apicoplast, derived from secondary endosymbiosis.Intriguingly, a highly conserved eukaryotic protein, autophagy-related protein 8 (ATG8), has an autophagy-independent function in the apicoplast.Little is known about the novel apicoplast
Human observers are remarkably proficient at recognizing expressions of emotions and at readily grouping them into distinct categories.When morphing one facial expression into another, the linear changes in low-level features are insufficient to describe the changes in perception, which instead follow an s-shaped function.Important questions are, w
