BACKGROUND Genetic fusion of the major birch pollen allergen (Bet v1) to bacterial surface-(S)-layer proteins resulted in recombinant proteins exhibiting reduced allergenicity as well as immunomodulatory capacity. Thus, S-layer/allergen fusion proteins were considered as suitable carriers for new immunotherapeutical vaccines for treatment of Type I hypersensitivity. Up to now, endotoxin contami...

This paper presents, a novel cactus shaped frequency reconfigurable antenna for sub 10 GHz wireless applications. PIN diode is utilized as an electrical switch to achieve reconfigurability, enabling operation in four different ranges. In the ON state mode, supports 2177–3431 and 6301–8467 MHz Alternatively, resonates within 2329–3431 4951–6718 while OFF mode. Radiation efficiency values, rangin...

Ecological footprint (EF) determines the area of ecologically productive territory necessary to produce resources utilised and assimilate waste produced by a given population over year. Knowing your own EF is first step in planning implementing policies reduce it. Considering that transport significant component impact human activity on environment, this study calculates CO2 emissions associate...
