Orientations of laser induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) are usually considered to be governed by the polarization state. In this work, we unveil that fluid dynamics femtosecond (fs) ablation in liquid (fs-LAL) can easily break restriction produce irregular circular-LIPSS (CLIPPS) and crisscross-LIPSS (CCLIPSS). Fs silicon water shows formation diverse LIPSS depending on conditions. At...

As a continuation of authors’ previous work, this work extends and hackles the numerical method for wind turbine wakes based on vortex method, proposes Lagrangian actuator model (LAM) which is used representation rotor under Lagarangian framework. This paper provides two examples LAM, line (LAL) disc (LAD) model, constructs matching methods wake predictions respectively. Those have high computa...

Fractionation of commercial preparations of lipoteichoic acids (LTA) by hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed very inhomogeneous compositions and decomposition of the LTA structure: LTA content of the preparations averaged 61% for Streptococcus pyogenes, 16% for Bacillus subtilis, and 75% for Staphylococcus aureus. The decomposition wa...

A collection of 69 eae-positive strains expressing 29 different intimin types and eight tir alleles was characterized with respect to their adherence patterns to HeLa cells, ability to promote actin accumulation in vitro, the presence of bfpA alleles in positive strains, and bundle-forming pilus (BFP) expression. All of the nine typical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (tEPEC) studied harbored...

At some point, language teachers need to be engaged in assessment their profession. Because is such a primary task for teachers, the field of testing encouraging research around knowledge, skills, and principles that are foundational sound assessment. In this paper, I provide definition Language Assessment Literacy (LAL), especially when it comes by reviewing existing models. then discuss ongoi...

BACKGROUND Microleakage through the interface has been documented in implant systems with titanium (Ti) abutments. There is a current increase in the use of zirconia (Zi) abutments especially in esthetic zone in where higher risk of visible metal color through the peri-implant tissues exists. PURPOSE The aim of the present in vitro study is to evaluate the leakage at the implant fixture-abutm...

BACKGROUND The dialysis patient is confronted with hundreds of litres of dialysis solution per week, which pass the natural protective barriers of the body and are brought into contact with the tissue directly in the case of peritoneal dialysis or indirectly in the case of renal dialysis (hemodialysis). The components can be tested for living specimens or dead pyrogenic (fever-inducing) contami...

Methods 40 HIV+ antiretroviral-naive pts starting a first tenofovir/emtricitabine + LPV/r-containing ART with CD4 <350 (20 Late Presenters —LPs, CD4 <100/μL and 20 Non-Late Presenters —NLPs, CD4, 200—350/μL) were followed for 12 months (T12). Microbial translocation (MT) by plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and sCD14 (LAL assay and ELISA), CD38+CD8, CD45R0+38+CD8, CD127+CD4/CD8 (flow cytometry), ...
