Abstract Many species use chemical messengers to communicate a remarkable range of information.Mice appear to make particular use of chemical messengers, including effects on estrous cycling and initiation, pregnancy, aggression, stress and of course attraction.Behavioral studies have helped identify several candidate messengers, or pheromones, tha
Evaluation of a Murine Model for Testing Antimicrobial Implant Materials in the Blood Circulation System
Medical device-related infections are becoming a steadily increasing challenge for the health care system regarding the difficulties in the clinical treatment.In particular, cardiovascular implant infections, catheter-related infections, as well as infective 5 Piece Outdoor Dining Set endocarditis are associated with high morbidity and mortality ri
The evolutionary history and spatiotemporal dynamics of the fever, thrombocytopenia and leukocytopenia syndrome virus (FTLSV) in China.
In 2007, a novel bunyavirus was found in Henan Province, China and named fever, thrombocytopenia and leukocytopenia syndrome virus (FTLSV); since then, FTLSV has been found in ticks and animals in many Chinese provinces.Human-to-human transmission has been documented, indicating that FTLSV should be considered a potential public health threat.Deter
Additive manufacturing of bulk metallic glass: Principles, materials and prospects
Additive manufacturing of metallic glass has attracted great attentions from researchers owing to the prospect of free-form fabricating high-performance bulk amorphous alloy parts.The characteristics of additive manufacturing from points to tracks, tracks to layers, and layers to parts are suitable for forming complex bulk metallic glass parts, whi
