OXIDATIVE POTENTIAL APPORTIONMENT OF ATMOSPHERIC PM1: A NEW APPROACH COMBINING HIGH-SENSITIVE ONLINE ANALYSERS FOR CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND OFFLINE OP MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE

Oxidative potential apportionment of atmospheric PM1: a new approach combining high-sensitive online analysers for chemical composition and offline OP measurement technique

Source apportionment models were widely used to successfully assign highly time-resolved aerosol data to specific emissions and/or atmospheric chemical processes.These techniques are necessary for targeting the sources affecting air quality and for designing effective mitigation strategies.Moreover, evaluation of the toxicity of airborne particulat

Dynamics of Activation and Regulation of the Immune Response to Attack by Viral Pathogens Using Mathematical Modeling

In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to simulate the activation of regulatory T lymphocytes dynamics.The model considers the adaptive immune response and consists of epithelial cells, infected cells, free virus particles, helper and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and regulatory T lymphocytes.A mathematical analysis was carried

Comparative assessment of An. gambiae and An. stephensi mosquitoes to determine transmission-reducing activity of antibodies against P. falciparum sexual stage antigens

Abstract Background With the increasing interest in vaccines to interrupt malaria transmission, there is a demand for harmonization of current methods to assess Plasmodium transmission in laboratory settings.Potential vaccine candidates are currently tested in the standard membrane feeding assay (SMFA) that commonly relies on Anopheles stephensi mo
