Background and Objectives: After the introduction of the pneumococcal vaccine, an increase has been observed in the disease due to nonspecific stereotypes of the vaccine. This study was conducted to determine the spatial distribution of pneumococcal vaccine coverage and common stereotypes of streptococcus pneumonia after vaccine introduction in the vaccine recipient countries.   Methods: The ...

background: conventional hepatitis b virus (hbv) vaccination fails to achieve efficient protection in about 5–10% of the world population. hence, different strategies have been adopted to ameliorate hbv antibody titers. this study aimed to evaluate the concurrent application of tetanus‑diphtheria (td) and hbv vaccination on hepatitis b surface (hbs) antibody titer in low‑responder healthy indiv...

Effects of using n-3 HUFA-enriched Artemia and non-enriched Artemia as the starter food for growth and survival of rainbow trout larvae compared to commercial concentrated food were investigated in this study. The larvae with average weight of 92.9 mg were fed for 20 days with four food treatments included of commercial concentrated food, newly hatched Artemia, enriched Artemia, and mixture of ...

The Fundamental Law of Information Recovery states, informally, that “overly accurate” estimates of “too many” statistics completely destroys privacy ([DN03] et sequelae). Differential privacy is a mathematically rigorous definition of privacy tailored to analysis of large datasets and equipped with a formal measure of privacy loss [DMNS06, Dwo06]. Moreover, differentially private algorithms ta...

Economic processing of lignocellulosic biomass requires handling the biomass at high solids concentration. This creates challenges because concentrated biomass behaves as a Bingham-like material with large yield stresses. Here we employ torque rheometry to measure the rheological properties of concentrated lignocellulosic biomass (corn stover). Yield stresses obtained using torque rheometry agr...

introduction: vaccinology provides promising approaches for the control of various infectious diseases. among different strategies, dna vaccines offer attractive research opportunities for development of vaccines for induction of antigen-specific immunity owing to their stability, simplicity of delivery, safety and cost effectiveness. however, there is a need to increase their potency by the us...

background: antibiotic resistance and the need for long-term treatments especially for chronic infections necessitate the developmentof a vaccine against pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.objectives: in this study, recombinant exotoxin a (domains i and ii), (exoa i-ii) protein was expressed, purifid and its immunologicalcharacteristics were evaluated in a mouse model.materials and methods: the g...
