We present the results of measurements ionic composition plasma generated by an accelerated electron beam at medium vacuum (fore-vacuum) pressures. Calculations contribution electrons and to mechanism ionization are presented. Comparison calculated with experimental data led us conclusion about dominating process. Keywords: plasma, fore-vacuum, beam, plasma-cathode source.

The T3SS is a needle-like nanomachine that injects virulence proteins (exotoxins) directly into eukaryotic cells to initiate infection. Fore effector proteins of P. aeruginosa, ExoS, Exo T, Exo U, and ExoY, modulate a variety of cellular functions for the pathogen's benefit via their enzymatic activity. P. aeruginosa is invasive or cytotoxic to host cells, depending on the T3SS effectors encode...

Odontothrips yunnanensis sp.n. is described from Yunnan in Southwestern China. Unlike most species of this Holarctic genus, the fore tarsi and fore tibiae do not have any teeth. The base of the sensorium on the sixth antennal segment is more than half as long as the total length of this sensorium, as is typical of species in the genera Odontothrips and Odontothripiella. In contrast, species of ...
