Abstract The paper focuses on researching the effect of fatigue loading metallic structure, lifetime, and fracture surface topographies in AISI H13 steel specimens obtained by selective laser melting (SLM). topography surfaces was measured over their entire area, according to total area method, with an optical three-dimensional measurement system. results SLM 3D printed were compared those repo...

Induction of plant resistance against pathogens by defense elicitors constitutes an attractive strategy to reduce the use of fungicides in crop protection. However, all elicitors do not systematically confer protection against pathogens. Elicitor-induced resistance (IR) thus merits to be further characterized in order to understand what makes an elicitor efficient. In this study, the oligosacch...

A universal microchip was developed for genotyping Influenza A viruses. It contains two sets of oligonucleotide probes allowing viruses to be classified by the subtypes of hemagglutinin (H1-H13, H15, H16) and neuraminidase (N1-N9). Additional sets of probes are used to detect H1N1 swine influenza viruses. Selection of probes was done in two steps. Initially, amino acid sequences specific to eac...

The structural characteristics of corn stalks hemicelluloses during the active oxygen cooking process as a pretreatment of biomass conversion were investigated in this work. The hemicelluloses obtained from the corn stalks, pulp, and yellow liquor were evaluated by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), gel permeation chromatogra...

Surface roughness is a factor of great importance in the evaluation of cutting performance and it plays an important role in manufacturing processes. Performance parameters such as cutting force, cutting temperature, vibration etc. can be used to predict surface roughness. It is expected that more accurate prediction would be possible if these factors are considered collectively with cutting pa...

New lactate (LA)-based terpolymers, P[LA-co-3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB)-co-3-hydroxyhexananoate (3HHx)]s, were produced in recombinant Escherichia coli LS5218 harboring three genes encoding LA-polymerizing enzyme (LPE), propionyl-coenzyme A (CoA) transferase (PCT) and (R)-specific enoyl-CoA hydratase (PhaJ4). When the recombinant LS5218 was grown on glucose with the feeding of butyrate, 3HB-CoA and...

The number of human avian H7N9 influenza infections has been increasing in China. Understanding their antigenic and serologic relationships is crucial for developing diagnostic tools and vaccines. Here, we evaluated the cross-reactivities and neutralizing activities among H7 subtype influenza viruses and between H7N9 and heterosubtype influenza A viruses. We found strong cross-reactivities betw...
