In this paper, IsoGeometric Analysis is applied to a transient nonlinear heat conduction problem
using a predictor-corrector scheme. To obtain a better approximation of the solution, we …

Endothelial dysfunction is an important pathophysiologic mechanism in the progression of
heart failure. The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of acute and …

The recovery of silver from hazardous jarosite residues was studied employing thiourea as
leaching agent at acid pH and 90 C. The stability of the thiourea in synthetic solutions was …

Edwardsiella tarda has long been known as a pathogen that causes severe economic losses
in aquaculture industry. Insights gained on E. tarda pathogenesis may prove useful in the …

This paper presents a particle swarm optimizer for solving constrained optimization problems
which adopts a very small population size (five particles). The proposed approach uses a …

The fish pathogen Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida produces the siderophore
piscibactin. A gene cluster that resembles the Yersinia high-pathogenicity island (HPI) encodes …

Background. Radical prostatectomy is an effective treatment for clinically localized prostate
cancer. The three approaches in current use have been extensively compared in …

In this research, an analysis of the effect of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), thiosulfate
and cupric ions on the silver leaching kinetics was performed. For that purpose leaching …

3D molecular structure determination is a challenge for organic compounds or natural
products available in minute amounts. Proton/proton and proton/carbon correlations yield the …

Vibrio anguillarum causes vibriosis, a hemorrhagic septicaemia that affects many cultured
marine fish species worldwide. Two catechol siderophores, vanchrobactin and anguibactin, …
