Schistosoma mansoni is a parasitic plathyhelminth responsible for intestinal schistosomiasis (or bilharziasis), a disease affecting 67 million people worldwide and causing an important economic burden.The schistosomicides hycanthone, and its later proxy oxamniquine, were widely used for treatments in endemic areas during the 20th century.Recently,
Semantic memory representations are overall well-maintained in aging whereas semantic control is thought to be more affected.To explain this phenomenon, this study aims to test the predictions of the Compensation Related Utilization of Neural Circuits Hypothesis (CRUNCH) focusing on task demands in aging as a possible framework.The CRUNCH return ef
The presence of the invasive coccinellid Harmonia axyridis in Engine Brackets aphid colonies on plants, as well as its co-occurrence with native coccinellid predators was studied in the period 2011-2020.Also, its occurrence on fruit plants and grapes was monitored at harvest time.Research was conducted on 41 locations in Serbia.The feeding of this
Forged documents and copyright currency can be better detected with multispectral imaging in multiple color channels instead of the usual red, green and blue.However, multispectral cameras/scanners Electric Range Cooker are expensive.We propose the construction of a low cost scanner designed to capture multispectral images of documents.A standard s
Stably transmitted transgenes are indispensable Wrapping Paper for labeling cellular components and manipulating cellular functions.In Caenorhabditis elegans, transgenes are generally generated as inheritable multi-copy extrachromosomal arrays, which can be stabilized in the genome through a mutagenesis-mediated integration process.Standard methods
