The allelopathy definition accepted by the International Allelopathy Society is any process or phenomenon via which organisms such as plants, microorganism, viruses, and fungi release NDT Products specific metabolites, known as allelochemicals, into the environment that affect the growth and development of other surrounding plants, resulting in mut
Environmental impact analysis of five family houses in Eastern Slovakia through a life cycle assessment
This study performs a life cycle assessment (LCA) of five new family houses in Eastern Slovakia to compare them in terms of the materials and technologies used.The main goal of the analysis is to investigate and highlight the expectable reduction rate of environmental impact resulting from using green materials and technologies.Their environmental
Extracellular DNA is essential for maintaining Bordetella biofilm integrity on abiotic surfaces and in the upper respiratory tract of mice.
Bacteria form complex and highly elaborate surface adherent communities known as biofilms which are held together by a self-produced extracellular matrix.We have previously shown that by adopting a biofilm mode of existence in vivo, the gram negative bacterial pathogens curl spray Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella pertussis are able to effic
Taurodeoxycholic acid alleviates diquat-induced intestinal barrier function injury in mice through the upregulation of Nrf2-mediated signaling pathway
Abstract Oxidative stress is an important contributor to gastrointestinal diseases in multiple ways.Taurodeoxycholic acid (TDCA) is a metabolite of bile acids and has anti-inflammatory and protective effects on the intestinal tract.However, whether TDCA can alleviate oxidative stress in the intestine is still unclear.Here, we investigated the effec
BACKWARD MOTION PLANNING AND CONTROL OF MULTIPLE MOBILE ROBOTS MOVING IN TIGHTLY COUPLED FORMATIONS
This work addresses the development of a distributed switching control strategy to drive the group of mobile robots in both backward and forward motion in a tightly coupled geometric pattern, as a solution for the deadlock situation that arises while navigating the unknown environment.A generalized closed-loop tracking controller considering the le
