Chlamydia pneumoniae is a common human and animal pathogen associated with a wide range of diseases.Since the first isolation of C.pneumoniae TWAR in 1965, all human isolates have been essentially clonal, providing little evolutionary insight.To address this gap, we investigated the genetic diversity of 30 isolates from diverse geographical Ball -
In this study we assessed the leaf-litter ant community in the Cicuta Forest, a semi-deciduous forest located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil.Specifically, we tested the Ceramics following hypotheses: (1) ant richness and diversity are higher in the rainy season, due to higher resource availability and better temperature and hum
Problem: Emerging bacterial antimicrobial (antibiotic) resistance (AMR) is a global threat to human health.However, a majority of lower income countries do not have microbiological diagnostic testing for prompt, reliable confirmation of bloodstream infection and identification Ceramics of AMR.Context: Clinicians in Pacific island nations are increa
The paper features a computational fluid dynamics study of a flapping NACA0015 hydrofoil moving with a combination of sinusoidal heaving and pitching.Several kinematic configurations are explored, varying sequentially pitch and heave amplitude, Strouhal number and phase angle, in an attempt to determine the influence of each parameter on the propul
Background: The problem of using psychotropic substances and addiction has become one of the major problems in the world.Despite the significant increase in treatment programs of addiction, many studies indicate that the rate of relapse globally is very high, especially when treatment is limited to the medical side only.Aims: The study aims to dete
