ABSTRACT Considerable evidence exists that bacteria detect eukaryotic communication molecules and modify their virulence accordingly.In previous studies, it has been demonstrated that the increasingly antibiotic-resistant pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa can detect the human hormones brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CN
Snake robot locomotion in a cluttered environment where the snake robot utilises a sensory-perceptual system to perceive the surrounding operational environment for means of propulsion is defined as perception-driven obstacle-aided locomotion (POAL).From a control point of view, achieving POAL with traditional rigidly-actuated robots is challenging
For providing advanced desalination the combination of the improvement of water recovery ratio in the reverse osmosis (RO) process and the No-Chlorine/No-Sodium Bisulfite (SBS) Dosing process was studied.In order to prevent membrane fouling even in high recovery water operations, an advanced two-stage design was implemented to (1) control the perme
The article presents a concise review of political criticism through the medium baton of humor and satire, at the time of ex-Yugoslavia and during its dissolution.It covers several important magazines and individual authors from ex-Yugoslav republics that, in difficult times for the freedom of speech, have shown dignity and courage to describe, cri
Objective To study the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with transvaginal specimen extraction without abdominal incisions(CRC-NOSES Ⅷ A) for radical resection of colon cancer comparing with laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with transabdominal specimen extraction.Methods Clinical data of the patients with complete lapa
