Brain Involvement in Leishmaniasis
ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Leishmania and it is a significant global health problem. The disease has a wide clinical spectrum, from tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) that encompasses cutaneous (CL), mucosal (ML) and cutaneous‐diffuse (CDL) forms, to the potentially fatal systemic ...

This study focused on the advanced fabrication and application of agro‐waste biomass/natural lignocellulosic fiber‐derived structural CNC‐FBC‐based multifunctional biopolymeric nanoadsorbents in industrial wastewater treatment technology. These CNC‐FBC‐based biopolymeric nanosorbents would be a sustainable alternative to fossil‐based, hazardous ones ...

Sheet-pile enclosures are often employed as liquefaction countermeasures for river levees in Japan. However, the stiffness of the sheet piles alone is often insufficient to maintain levees on liquefied foundation soil high enough to prevent overflooding.

Fabric characteristics and processes influencing the liquefaction and re-liquefaction of sand.
Abstract Although the density of sand has long been considered to be the predominant factor for liquefaction resistance, observations during earthquake sequences and laboratory tests have suggested that other factors may also cause significant anomalies in the relationship between density and liquefaction resistance.
