ABSTRACT Members of the clonally variant Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) family mediate adhesion of infected erythrocytes (IEs) to vascular receptors.PfEMP1 expression is normally confined to nanoscale knob protrusions on the IE surface membrane.To investigate the relationship between the densities of these IE surface
The reaction-diffusion Holling-Tanner prey-predator model considering the Allee effect on predator, under zero-flux boundary Inserts conditions, is discussed.Some properties of the solutions, such as dissipation and persistence, are obtained.Local and global stability of the positive equilibrium and Turing instability are studied.With the help of t
The paper presents the results of computer simulations of the transient heat flow in the barrel wall of a 35 mm caliber cannon for a single shot and a sequence of seven shots for a selected 30HN2MFA barrel steel.It was assumed that the inner surface of the barrel does not have a protective layer of chromium or nitride.When calculating heat transfer
The phylogenetic relationships of most Paleozoic tetrapod clades remain poorly resolved, which is variably attributed to a lack of study, the limitations of inference from phenotypic data, and constant revision of best practices.While refinement of phylogenetic methods continues to be important, any phylogenetic analysis is inherently constrained b
In insects, a parental immune challenge can prepare and enhance offspring immune activity.Previous studies of such transgenerational immune priming (TGIP) mainly focused on a single offspring life stage.However, different developmental stages may be exposed to different risks and show different susceptibility to parental Cleats immune priming.Here
