We present new observations of polar mesospheric clouds (PMCs) from the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) Limb (LP) instrument. The OMPS LP limb scattering measurements provide altitude-resolved PMC with full global coverage 2012 to present. Relative brightness observed by varies between hemispheres due changes in viewing geometry, consistent other measurements. season start dates for det...

Anaplasma marginale is a tick-borne rickettsial pathogen of cattle with a worldwide distribution. Currently a safe and efficacious vaccine is unavailable. Outer membrane protein (OMP) extracts or a defined surface protein complex reproducibly induce protective immunity. However, there are several knowledge gaps limiting progress in vaccine development. First, are these OMPs conserved among the ...

• mDOM aromaticity outweighs increased hydrophilicity in affecting competitiveness. π-interaction can induce stronger competition albeit weaker adsorption. Weakly adsorbable mDOMs were not competitors with strongly adsorbing OMPs. OMPs affected by competitors. adsorbability was a better indicator for competitiveness than logD or SUVA. Low molecular weight (LMW) dissolved organic matter (DOM) is...

The assembly of β-barrel Outer Membrane Proteins (OMPs) in the outer membrane is essential for gram-negative bacteria. The process requires the β-Barrel Assembly Machine (BAM), a multiprotein complex that, in E. coli, is composed of the OMP BamA and four lipoproteins BamB-E. Whereas BamA and BamD are essential, deletion of BamB, C or E produce membrane permeability defects. Here we present the ...

It was widely acknowledged that dissolved organic matter (DOM) in natural water has ubiquitous competitiveness against micropollutants (OMPs) during adsorption onto activated carbon. However, some (model) low molecular weight organics have been reported to adsorb carbon, but were not competitive co-adsorbates. The objective of this study is identify which adsorbable DOM fractions contribute the...

How to effectively use an intelligent aid-to-navigation (AtoN) prevent ships from accidentally colliding with offshore marine platforms (OMPs) is important issue for maritime environment. This study proposes a novel collision alert system three components process Automatic Identification System (AIS) data in the cloud and broadcast AtoNs order avoid OMPs. The first component receives as input f...

Several studies have shown that organic micropollutants (OMPs) are biotransformed cometabolically in activated sludge systems. However, the individual role of heterotrophs microbial consortium is still not clear, i.e., there a gap regarding influence heterotrophic activity on cometabolic biotransformation kinetics and yield OMPs. Aiming to answer these questions, experiments with increasing pri...

Pasteurella multocida is a causative agent of a number of economically important diseases in livestock. Due to the fatal nature of the disease, there is urgent need for rapid diagnosis so that appropriate therapeutic and preventive measures could be undertaken. A study was designed to extract different antigens of P. multocida capsular type A and B which included whole bacterium, Capsular antig...
