In order to map linear B-cell (LBC) epitopes in the major capsid protein of feline calicivirus (FCV), an expression library containing random, short (100- to 200-bp) fragments of the FCV F9 capsid gene was constructed. Analysis of this library showed it to be representative of the region of the capsid gene that encodes the mature capsid protein. The library was screened by using polyclonal anti...

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the microstructural alterations associated aging thermal treatments performed at 450, 475, 800 and 850°C, for 1, 3 12h, besides evaluating influence precipitation alpha line phase on corrosion resistance. samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, feritscope, hardness, microhardness, in ...

Core@shell nanoparticles showing up-conversion under 808, 975, 1208 or 1532 nm excitation were synthesised. Nanoparticles revealed their multifunctionality and emission bands covering the visible to near-infrared range (475 1625 nm).

Through a literature review of academic logistics publications and practitioner journals, this research examines the effect Information Technology (IT) on logistics. The examples from experience show that third-party logistic providers have higher chance to exploit IT since they must share integrated systems with their clients. We analyze how e-logistics' relative effectiveness affects bottom l...
