COMPARATIVE PROTEOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE HEMOLYMPH AND SALIVARY GLANDS OF RHODNIUS PROLIXUS AND R. COLOMBIENSIS REVEALS CANDIDATES ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENTIAL LYTIC ACTIVITY AGAINST TRYPANOSOMA CRUZI DM28C AND T. CRUZI Y.

BackgroundImmune response of triatomines plays an important role in the success or failure of transmission of T.cruzi.Studies on parasite-vector interaction have shown the presence of trypanolytic factors and have been observed to be differentially expressed among triatomines, which affects the transmission of some T.cruzi strains or DTUs (Discrete

Facial caricature is the art of drawing faces in an exaggerated way to convey emotions such as humor or sarcasm.Automatic caricaturization has been explored both in the 2D and 3D domain.In this paper, we propose two novel approaches to automatically caricaturize input facial scans, filling gaps in the literature in terms of user-control, caricature

Wuyi Rock tea, well-recognized for rich flavor and Lighters long-lasting fragrance, is a premium subcategory of oolong tea mainly produced in Wuyi Mountain and nearby regions of China.The quality of tea is mainly determined by the chemical constituents in the tea leaves.However, this remains underexplored for Wuyi Rock tea cultivars.In this study,

There are many cases when in large power equipment (such as a turbine or compressor) asymmetrically loading on bearings due to thermal deformations, production inaccuracies, or simple deflection of the shaft occurs.This asymmetrically loading means misalignment of rotor against stator in angle more than several tenths of a degree and it has an infl

Abstract Smart Transformer (ST)-based Meshed Hybrid AC/DC Microgrids (MHM) present advantages concerning the performance of conventional AC/DC microgrids (MG).Despite this, MHMs present challenges in managing and controlling electronic converters associated with the ST and Distributed Energy Resources (DER), a scenario that makes it complex to achi
