In-depth transcriptomic analysis of Anopheles gambiae hemocytes uncovers novel genes and the oenocytoid developmental lineage
Abstract Background Hemocytes are immune cells that patrol the mosquito hemocoel and mediate critical cellular defense responses against pathogens.However, despite their importance, a comprehensive transcriptome of these cells was lacking because they constitute a very small fraction of the total cells in the insect, limiting the study of hemocyte
Diesel-Degrading Potential of Pseudomonas putida Isolated from Effluent of a Petroleum Refinery in Nigeria
The contamination of soil and groundwater by hazardous chemicals has become a major concern due to the associated risks to human health and the environment.The ability of Pseudomonas putida isolated from a petroleum refinery effluent to degrade diesel was assessed in this study.The effluent sample was collected from the treatment plant in the Kadun
Mechanical performance and failure mechanism of U-steel support structure under blast loading
The U-steel support structures of underground caverns are prone to instability and failure under blast loads.The purpose of the A systematic review of the interrelations of urban form and mode choice in African cities underground cavern reinforcement is to mobilise the self-supporting capacity of the surrounding rock to resist the blast.To better u
