PRODUCTION OF MICRO- AND NANOFIBRILLATED CELLULOSE THROUGH AN AQUEOUS COUNTER COLLISION SYSTEM FOLLOWED BY ULTRASOUND: EFFECT OF MECHANICAL PRETREATMENTS

Production of Micro- and Nanofibrillated Cellulose through an Aqueous Counter Collision System Followed by Ultrasound: Effect of Mechanical Pretreatments

The purpose of this work was the production of cellulose micro-nanofibrils from wood pulps through a combination of mechanical treatments, including a recently patented process, a so-called aqueous counter collision (ACC) method followed by ultrasound treatment.Previously to ACC process, the raw pulp Acrylic Name Night Light materials had to be dow

Artemisinin resistance-associated markers in Plasmodium falciparum parasites from the China-Myanmar border: predicted structural stability of K13 propeller variants detected in a low-prevalence area.

BACKGROUND:Malaria reduction and future elimination in China is made more difficult by the importation of cases from neighboring endemic countries, particularly Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam, and increased travel to Africa by Chinese nationals.The increasing prevalence of artemisinin resistant parasites across Southeast Asia highlights the importance

Iatrogenic fracture in a patient of ankylosing spondylitis planned for surgical correction of chin-on-chest deformity: A case report and review of literature

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a progressive systemic chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease that causes arthritis of spine and sacroiliac joints and finally results in contracture or bony fusion of these joints.The ankylosed spine has increased propensity to fracture due to rigidity, long lever arms, and osteoporosis.However, iatrogenic fracture o

Differential enrichment of H3K9me3 at annotated satellite DNA repeats in human cell lines and during fetal development in mouse

Abstract Background Trimethylation of histone H3 on lysine 9 (H3K9me3) at satellite DNA sequences has been primarily studied at (peri)centromeric regions, where its level shows differences associated with various processes such as development and malignant transformation.However, the dynamics of H3K9me3 at distal satellite DNA repeats has not been
