Propolis is a sticky substance used by bees to seal their hive and protect the colony against pathogens.Its main components are plant resins, beeswax, essential oils, pollen, and other organic substances.The chemical and medicinal properties of propolis have been extensively studied, but little is known about its physical and especially adhesive pr
This study examines the potential of charitable alternative food networks (ANFs), specifically community markets, as a complimentary solution to existing food aid efforts in response to food insecurity.While foodbanks play a crucial role in providing emergency food aid, they often face challenges in terms of supply Bronc Chinks shortages, limited f
Abstract Bacterial lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are known to oxidize the most abundant and recalcitrant polymers in Nature, namely cellulose and chitin.The genome of the model actinomycete Streptomyces Scarves coelicolor A3(2) encodes seven putative LPMOs, of which, upon phylogenetic analysis, four group with typical chitin-oxidizing
In this work it was developed a rotating bending apparatus for Table Lamp Set fatigue tests of superelastic NiTi wires, and other materials with high elasticity.It was evaluated the performance, robustness, operability, and reliability through testing of 1 mm thick stainless steel wires.This device is mounted on a steel frame and features semiautom
We modeled the impact of local vaccine mandates on the spread of vaccine-preventable infectious diseases, which in the absence of vaccines will mainly affect children.Examples of such diseases are measles, rubella, mumps, and pertussis.To model the spread of the pathogen, we used a stochastic SIR (susceptible, infectious, recovered) VITAMIN C CALCI
