Background: The lack of adequate in vitro systems to isolate and propagate guinea pig adenovirus (GPAdV), a prevalent cause of respiratory illness of varaible severity in laboratory guinea pig colonies worldwide, has precluded its formal characterization to allow for the development of comprehensive diagnostic assays, and for the execution of compl
Abstract Background The gut is the major organ for nutrient absorption and immune response in the body of animals.Although effects of fasting on the gut functions have been extensively studied in model animals (e.g.mice), little is known about the response of the gut to fasting in a natural condition (e.g.hibernation).During hibernation, animals en
Fruit waste is a part of municipal solid waste which is typically disposed of directly to a landfill site.In order to utilize this valuable renewable resource, anaerobic biological processes can be employed to convert fruit waste to biogas.This usable gas is then used to generate electricity.This paper describes a comprehensive study to set up tech
Contemporary smartphones integrate dedicated AI accelerators alongside CPUs and GPUs, in response to the growing demand for deep Bulbs learning applications.While existing software development kits (SDKs) for these devices provide neural network optimization techniques, they often lack system-level optimizations, specifically in distributing layers
BACKGROUND: The probiotic Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917 (EcN) has been shown to interfere in a human in vitro model with the invasion of several bacterial pathogens into epithelial cells, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not known.METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of EcN on Salmon
