Electronic cigarette vapour increases virulence and inflammatory potential of respiratory pathogens

Respiratory Research, 2019
Introduction Bacteria have been extensively implicated in the development of smoking related diseases, such as COPD, by either direct infection or bacteria-mediated inflammation.

Fusion Reaction of Halo Nuclei: Proton Halo versus Neutron Halo [PDF]

Progress of Theoretical Physics Supplement, 2004
The fusion reaction of halo nuclei on heavy target is investigated in a three-body reaction model. A time-dependent wave-packet method is employed to solve the three-body Schrodinger equation. We find that the fusion probability is enhanced by the presence of the halo nucleon for proton halo nuclei, contrary to the neutron halo case for which we ...

Abundance Gradients and the Formation of the Milky Way [PDF]

, 2001
In this paper we adopt a chemical evolution model, which is an improved version of the Chiappini, Matteucci and Gratton (1997) model, assuming two main accretion episodes for the formation of the Galaxy.

Multi-Trophic Species Interactions Shape Seascape-Scale Coral Reef Vegetation Patterns

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
How species interactions shape habitat structure is a longstanding question in ecology. A curious phenomenon reflecting ecological self-organization around reef habitat structures exists on coral reefs: large-scale (hundreds to hundreds of thousands of ...

A Few Points of the Engineering Logic Discussed in ITER EDA on Evaluation of Halo- and AVDE-Induced Loads in Tokamaks

Plasma, 2021
All tokamaks are designed to withstand a certain number of energetic electromagnetic (EM) transients caused by uncontrolled terminations of plasma pulses, including symmetric and asymmetric plasma vertical displacement events: VDEs and AVDEs.

Characterization of Salmonella Phage LPST153 That Effectively Targets Most Prevalent Salmonella Serovars

Microorganisms, 2020
Foodborne diseases represent a major risk to public health worldwide. In this study, LPST153, a novel Salmonella lytic phage with halo (indicative of potential depolymerase activity) was isolated by employing Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium ATCC ...

Investigation of the halo effect in the evolution of a nonstationary disk of spiral galaxies

Open Astronomy, 2023
In this article, we consider the problem of the evolution of the disk subsystem of galaxies, taking into account their halos. The global structure of the disk of galaxies strongly depends on the mass and shape of the halo.

Galaxy clustering in the NEWFIRM Medium Band Survey: the relationship between stellar mass and dark matter halo mass at 1 < z < 2 [PDF]

, 2010
We present an analysis of the clustering of galaxies as a function of their stellar mass at 1 < z < 2 using data from the NEWFIRM Medium Band Survey (NMBS). The precise photometric redshifts and stellar masses that the NMBS produces allows us to define a

Sedation with dexmedetomidine is associated with transient gallbladder wall thickening and peritoneal effusion in some dogs undergoing abdominal ultrasonography

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2021
Background Dexmedetomidine often is used for sedation before or during abdominal ultrasonography. The effect of dexmedetomidine on gallbladder wall thickness is unknown.
