While all of the vaccines elicited similar OspA antibody responses, only Subunit-AC triggered a robust and broadly cross-reactive antibody response to divergent OspC proteins. The data presented within provide new information regarding vaccination-induced antibody responses to key tick and mammalian phase antigens by both subunit and bacterin LD…[Read more]

A common behavioral marker of optimal attention focus is faster responses or reduced response variability. Our previous study found two dominant brain states during sustained attention, and these states differed in their behavioral accuracy and reaction time (RT) variability. However, RT distributions are often positively skewed with a long tail…[Read more]

A numerical simulation method has been developed to describe the transfer of analytes between solid and aqueous phases and assessed for a commercially available extraction chromatography resin (UTEVA resin). The method employs an ordinary differential equation solver within the LabVIEW visual programming language. The method was initially…[Read more]

The urgency for a protein transition towards more sustainable solutions is one of the major societal challenges. Microbial protein is one of the alternative routes, in which land- and fossil-free production should be targeted. The photohydrogenotrophic growth of purple bacteria, which builds on the H2- and CO2-economy, is unexplored for its…[Read more]

The inclusion of tests specific to SARS-CoV-2 (such as RBD of spike protein) could overcome these limitations.The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has led to substantial morbidity, mortality, and disruption globally. Cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 is mediated by the viral spike protein, and affinity ligands to this surface protein have the…[Read more]

The cardinal model for the effect of temperature on Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC 7953 growth developed by Kakagianni, Gougouli, & Koutsoumanis, 2016 was expanded for the effect of pH and water activity (aw). The effect of pH (range 5.7-8.5) and aw (range 0.985-0.999) on G. stearothermophilus growth rate was studied in tryptone soy broth…[Read more]

ding of interoperative events in abdominal surgery might further improve by consensus regarding the definitions of a number of frequent events.

ClassIntra has an almost perfect inter-rater agreement for the classification of iAEs. An increasing grade of ClassIntra was associated with a higher incidence of post-operative complications.…[Read more]
