Infection of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) changed the proliferation of gastric epithelial cells and decreased the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70). However, the effects of H. pylori on the proliferation of gastric epithelial cells and the roles of HSP70 during the progress need further investigation. Objective. To investigate the effects of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and heat...

We describe in this study a strategy to produce synthetic vaccines based on a single polypeptide capable of eliciting strong immune responses to a combination CTL and Th epitopes with the purpose of treating malignancies or preventing infectious diseases. This strategy is based on the capacity of Trojan Ags to deliver exogenous Ags into the intracellular compartments, where processing into MHC-...

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) comprises an aggregation of microbial cells in a tridimensional matrix, which is able to remove carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous as well other pollutants single bioreactor under the same operational conditions. During past decades, feasibility implementing AGS wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) for treating sewage using fundamentally sequential batch reactors (SBR...

To develop language processors efficiently is difficult because they need to deal with large data with complex structures. Using tools based on formal specification is one of the strategies to reduce the cost in developing language processors. However, the area of application which can be developed by these tools is limited. This dissertation aims at realization of the practical development env...
