HUMAN PLEURAL FLUID ELICITS PYRUVATE AND PHENYLALANINE METABOLISM IN ACINETOBACTER BAUMANNII TO ENHANCE CYTOTOXICITY AND IMMUNE EVASION

Human Pleural Fluid Elicits Pyruvate and Phenylalanine Metabolism in Acinetobacter baumannii to Enhance Cytotoxicity and Immune Evasion

Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab) is one of the most treacherous pathogens among those causing hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP).A.baumannii possesses an adaptable physiology, seen not only in its antibiotic resistance and virulence phenotypes but also in its metabolic versatility.In this study, we observed that A.baumannii undergoes global transcriptio

Public health: Control of mosquito-borne encephalitis

The mosquito control program in California has been uniquely successful, and for practical purposes, the major mosquito-borne diseases, such as encephalitis and malaria, have been effectively controlled in the aptamil allerpro state in recent years.Much of the original research leading to this success was done by the University of California School

Numerical investigation of the vortex-induced vibration of an elastically mounted circular cylinder at high Reynolds number (Re = 104) and low mass ratio using the RANS code.

This study numerically investigates the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of an elastically mounted rigid cylinder by using Reynolds-averaged chorulon hcg Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with computational fluid dynamic (CFD) tools.CFD analysis is performed for a fixed-cylinder case with Reynolds number (Re) = 104 and for a cylinder that is free to osc
