Microbiology's next top model: Galleria in the molecular age

Evolution: Biology's next top model?

Some say it could have been a global cooling event brought on by falling greenhouse-gas levels. Others argue that it was the drifting continents, which opened up Drake Passage and kick-started frigid, circumpolar currents. Whatever the reason, to the fish that lived on the Antarctic shelf about 34 million years ago, all that mattered was that it was getting cold, very cold. As the water tempera...

The model of piety in present age

The effect of the culture of modernism on contemporary human`s life has made some to agree with inapplicability of some of the ethical teachings. In an opposite place, an unreasonable view of piety has led some to prevent themselves from God`s gifts and put themselves and their household in hardness. This paper, criticizing the principles of modernism and giving a reasonable meaning on piety, h...

Legionella pneumophila pathogenesis in the Galleria mellonella infection model.

Legionella pneumophila is a facultative intracellular human pathogen and the etiological agent of severe pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease. Its virulence depends on protein secretion systems, in particular, the Dot/Icm type IV secretion system (T4SS), which is essential to establish a replication-permissive vacuole in macrophages. The analysis of the role of these systems and their subst...

Regularization at the next-to-leading order in the top-mode standard model without gauge bosons

We study Higgs condensation H ∼ t̄t in the top-mode standard model at the next-to-leading (NTL) order in 1/Nc, by calculating the effective potential as a function of a hard mass term σ0 of the top quark. We include the effects of the third generation quarks, the Higgs and the Goldstone fields, and the leading QCD effects, but not the effects of the transverse components of the electroweak gauge...
