Cover crops in Mediterranean vineyards are scarcely used due to water competition between the cover crop and the grapevine; however, bare soil management through tillage or herbicides tends to have negative effects on the soil over time (organic matter decrease, soil structure and soil fertility degradation, compaction, etc).The objective of this s
The subcritical polyethylene-reflected plutonium (PERP) metal fundamental physics benchmark, which is included in the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP) Handbook, has PERFORMANCE been selected to serve as a paradigm illustrative reactor physics system for the application of the Second-
Perforin-2 (P2) is a pore-forming protein with cytotoxic activity against intracellular bacterial pathogens.P2 knockout (P2KO) mice are unable to control infections and die from normally non-lethal bacterial infections.Here we show that P2KO mice as compared to WT mice show significantly higher levels of systemic inflammation, measured by inflammat
Abstract Introduction Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (the most common form of motor neuron disease) is a progressive and devastating disease involving both lower and upper motor neurons, typically following a relentless path towards death.Given the gravity of this diagnosis, all efforts must be made by the clinician to exclude alternative and more H
