Traits of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are phenotypically flexible and seem to reflect the ecological features of animals.The Daurian ground squirrel (Spermophilus dauricus) is a typical fat-storing, hibernating animal.However, information on seasonal GI plasticity in this species is limited.The aim of the present study was to characterize the m
Clogging is a major geohazards risk in mechanized tunnelling through cohesive soils.Clay clogging results from the high adhesion between the clay and metal.Based on the water film theory and Reynolds fluid equation, the interfacial adhesion between metal and soil is simplified in this study as viscous hydrodynamic behavior between planes.Considerin
Abstract Background Bifidobacteria belong to one of the predominant bacterial groups in the intestinal microbiota of infants and adults.Several beneficial effects on the health status of their human hosts have been demonstrated making bifidobacteria interesting candidates for probiotic applications.Adhesion of probiotics to the intestinal epitheliu
The study seeks to understand which elements related to the process of appropriation of information are facilitated and supported by data visualization.Based on the understanding that appropriation of information encompasses the transmission click here of information and its learning by the user, the visual representation of the data, through graph
Dissociation encompasses changes in a series of phenotypes: colony and cell morphology, inmunological and biochemical reactions and virulence.The concept is generally associated to the in vitro transition between smooth (S) and rough (R) colonies, a phenotypic observation in Gram-negative bacteria commonly made since the beginning of microbiology a
