Toward DNA-Based T-Cell Mediated Vaccines to Target HIV-1 and Hepatitis C Virus: Approaches to Elicit Localized Immunity for Protection

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are major contributors to the global disease burden with many experts recognizing the requirement of an effective vaccine to bring a durable end to these viral epidemics. The most promising

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Millennials' Hybrid Consumer Identities: Balancing Consumer Ethnocentrism

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While consumer ethnocentrism has been widely examined, little is known about how consumers manage the persistent gap between ethnocentric attitudes and everyday purchasing behavior. Drawing on balance theory (Heider 1958), this study conceptualizes consumer ethnocentrism as a situationally activated balancing process rather than a stable ...

On the work of Basil Gordon

Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 2006
Basil Gordon has made important contributions to classical analysis, coding theory, group theory, number theory, tilings, difference sets, and combinatorial theory. This article is a well-deserved tribute to his path-breaking discoveries in combinatorics, written by four distinguished collaborators, two of whom are among Gordon's 26 Ph.D. students. The

High Relative Accuracy Computations With Covariance Matrices of Order Statistics

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In many statistical applications, numerical computations with covariance matrices need to be performed. The error made when performing such numerical computations increases with the condition number of the covariance matrix, which is related to the number of variables and the strength of the correlation between the variables. In a recent work,

‘They are not predators: They are a higher power’—Relational values and principles framing human–predator relationship in Noongar Country, Southwestern Australia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human–predator coexistence presents urgent conservation challenges that demand approaches extending beyond mere conflict mitigation. Indigenous knowledge systems, though historically marginalised by Western science, offer vital insights into ethical, sustainable relationships with nature.

The Impact of Silicon in Mitigating Drought Adverse Effects In Basil (Ocimum spp) Plant [PDF]

Egyptian Journal of Agricultural Sciences
Basil is an important medicinal and aromatic plant with very wide range of uses. Water stress has a crippling effect on growth and productivity of basil plants; therefore a pot experiment was carried out to study the response of growth and chemical ...

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

On a conjecture of Basile and Marro [PDF]

Journal of Optimization Theory and Applications, 1983
An alternative characterization is given of the class of self-bounded controlled invariant subspaces that was introduced by Basile and Marro in Ref. 1. We also prove a result that was stated as a conjecture in the cited paper.

A synergistic alliance between nematophagous fungi and organic matter against plant‐parasitic nematodes: a systematic review

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Certain beneficial fungi are widely used to control harmful nematodes in crops, especially when combined with organic matter. Together, they improve soil health, support plant growth, and enhance nutrient cycling. This natural partnership offers a promising, environmentally friendly approach to strengthening sustainable agriculture and reducing ...
