Melioidosis is an endemic disease caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Concerns exist regarding B. pseudomallei use as a potential bio-threat agent causing persistent infections and typically manifesting as severe pneumonia capable of causing fatal bacteremia. Development of suitable therapeutics against melioidosis is complicated due to high degree of genetic and phenotypic varia...

Atmospheric carbonaceous aerosols of South Asian origin have received immense concerns in the Anthropocene owing to their plausible role in the observed regional to inter-continental scale climate anomalies. Tracking plausible sources and alterations during their transport (secondary processes) are keys to understanding their net influence on regional climate. Here, we report elemental concentr...

An improved high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) with pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) method is developed and validated for simultaneous determination of atmospherically relevant sugar alcohols, monosaccharides, and monosaccharide anhydrides. The improved method enables the separation of levoglucosan and arabitol which were not or insufficiently separated by the previous H...

Targeted delivery of nanoscale carriers containing packaged payloads to the central nervous system has potential use in many diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Moreover, understanding of the bio-interactions of the engineered nanoparticles used for tissue-specific delivery by non-invasive delivery approaches are also of paramount interest. Here, we have examined this issue systematically ...

Despite the many historical events during year 2020, this period of time will forever be remembered as COVID-19. Since its onset in November 2019, The Sars-CoV-2 has made an enormous impact across all aspects society entire world. Globally July 5th, 2021, there have been 184000000 confirmed cases COVID-19, which tragically include 3980000 deaths.

Materials and Methods: Bio aerosol characteristics of air in the market were analysed by Reusable Aluminium Two Stage Viable Anderson Cascade Impactor. Spirometry with American Thoracic Society (ATS) standards was done in non-smoker 640 individuals; 210 individuals exposed to dust and 430 individuals living around the same area but not exposed to dust. According to age 2 groups were made. Group...

The Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR), launched on ENVISAT in March 2002, is the third in a series of instrument designed to make precise and accurate global Sea Surface Temperature (SST) estimations. At the time of the ENVISAT Symposium 2007, geophysical validation indicates that the AATSR 1 km and 10' spatially averaged D3 SSTs are generally in specification, in that AATSR 1 km...

The Bright Pixel Atmospheric Correction (BPAC) is the MERIS operational algorithm for precorrecting the residual marine signal in the near infrared prior to the Clear water atmospheric correction. It is an essential step in the mission for computing Level 2 products on Case 2 waters. It is also always applied on Case 1 waters. The method is based on an iterative coupling between a simplified at...

Exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) aerosols is a major threat to tuberculosis (TB) researchers, even in bio-safety level-3 (BSL-3) facilities. Automation and high-throughput screens (HTS) in BSL3 facilities are essential for minimizing manual aerosol-generating interventions and facilitating TB research. In the present study, we report the development and validation of a high-throughp...
