Abstract Vector-borne, filarial nematode diseases cause significant disease burdens in humans and domestic animals worldwide.Although there is strong direct evidence of parasite-driven immunomodulation of mammalian host responses, there is less evidence of Saucers parasite immunomodulation of the vector host.We have previously reported that all lif
Mitigation synergy and policy implications in urban transport sector: a case study of Xiamen, China
The urban transport sector is one of most significant contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant (AP) emissions.To achieve co-benefits of GHG and AP emission reductions, a synergistic mitigation approach targeting both climate change and air pollution has gained more attention.In this study, we evaluate mitigation synergy and policy imp

Preparation and nucleation of spherical metallic droplet
The preparation and solidification of metallic droplets attract more and more attention for their significance in both engineering and scientific fields.In this paper, the preparation and characterization of Sn-based alloy droplets using different methods Membrane Switch such as atomization and consumable electrode direct current arc (CDCA) techniq
Hamstring, Bone-patellar Tendon-bone, Quadriceps, and Peroneus Longus Tendon Autografts for Primary Isolated Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) involves surgically restoring the injured ACL through the placement of graft material.The selection of graft material plays a crucial role in ensuring optimal knee stability postsurgery.Using autografts of the hamstring, bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTP), quadriceps, and peroneus longus te
