Botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A) causes transient muscle paralysis by entering motor nerve terminals (MNTs) where it cleaves the SNARE protein Synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP25206) to yield SNAP25197.Cleavage of SNAP25 results in blockage of synaptic vesicle fusion and inhibition of the release of acetylcholine.The specific uptake
Transmission of caprine arthritis encephalitis virus between sheep
ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to evaluate caprine arthritis encephalitis virus (CAEV) transmission among sheep using 15 lambs that were distributed in 2 experimental groups.The exposed group consisted of 10 lambs that remained with their mothers, who were experimentally infected with CAEV.The non-exposed group was characterized as the control
Improvement of the molecular thermodynamic isothermal adsorption model based on the isothermal adsorption of moisture in wheat flour
ObjectiveTo propose a method for modifying the existed isotherm model cashel tail bag based on molecular thermodynamics.MethodsThe phantom model in polymer physics field was borrowed to predict the chemical potential of water from swelling effect.Isothermal adsorption and desorption of wheat flour measured using a dynamic vapor sorption system at 2
A Novel Method for Diagnosing Power Electronics Devices Using Elastic Wave Emission
This work is an introduction of acoustic emission (AE) signals used in order to detect the malfunction of selected semiconductor turbo air m3f24-1-n elements.The authors proposed the use of internally generated signals (elastic waves) of acoustic emission leading to the detection of the pre-fail state of switching IGBT transistors.The analysis of t
