Quality Control of Sewage Water in Wastewater Treatment Plants using Raman Technologies
Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.Innovative Raman spectroscopy methods for enhancing wastewater treatment monitoring are introduced. Improved sensitivity in detecting low concentrations of analytes is demonstrated, addressing challenges like cross‐sensitivity and turbidity. The findings highlight the potential for more accurate and robust inline monitoring in wastewater treatment ...

HVEM and CD160: Regulators of Immunopathology During Malaria Blood-Stage
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 CD8+ T cells are key players during infection with the malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei ANKA (PbA). While they cannot provide protection against blood-stage parasites, they can cause immunopathology, thus leading to the severe manifestation of ...

New Candidates for Furin Inhibition as Probable Treat for COVID-19: Docking Output [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Furin is a serine protease that takes part in the processing and activation of the host cell pre-proteins. The enzyme also plays an important role in the activation of several viruses like the newly emerging SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 disease with a high rate of virulence and mortality.

The natural alternative: protozoa as cellular models for Legionella infection
Cellular Microbiology, 2014 The severe pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease occurs following infection by the Gram‐negative bacterium Legionella pneumophila. Normally resident in fresh‐water sources, Legionella are subject to predation by eukaryotic phagocytes such as amoeba ...

Quantitative predictions from competition theory with incomplete information on model parameters tested against experiments across diverse taxa [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 We derive an analytical approximation for making quantitative predictions for ecological communities as a function of the mean intensity of the inter-specific competition and the species richness. This method, with only a fraction of the model parameters (carrying capacities and competition coefficients), is able to predict accurately empirical ...

Hidden Markov Models for Gene Sequence Classification: Classifying the VSG genes in the Trypanosoma brucei Genome [PDF]
, 2015 The article presents an application of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for pattern recognition on genome sequences. We apply HMM for identifying genes encoding the Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) in the genomes of Trypanosoma brucei (T. brucei) and other African trypanosomes. These are parasitic protozoa causative agents of sleeping sickness and several

Symbiosis between Termites and Their Intestinal Protozoa.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1923 A correlation between the presence of intestinal protozoa in termites and a wood-feeding habit was postulated by Imms,2 and this, if true, as Imms pointed out, indicates a possible symbiotic relationship between termites and their intestinal protozoa ...
