BACKGROUND: Amino acid absorption in the form of di- and tripeptides is mediated by the intestinal proton-coupled peptide transporter PEPT-1 (formally OPT-2) in Caenorhabditits elegans.Transporter-deficient animals (pept-1(lg601)) show impaired growth, slowed postembryonal development and major changes in amino acid status.PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here
In the cascaded H-bridge inverter (CHBI) with supercapacitor and dc-dc stage, inherent second-order harmonic power flows through each submodule (SM), causing fluctuations in both the dc-link voltage and the dc-dc current.There exist limitations in handling these fluctuations at variable output frequencies when employing proportional-integral (PI) c
Oropharyngeal candidiasis is an opportunistic infection considered to be a harbinger of AIDS.The etiologic agent Candida albicans is a fungal species commonly colonizing human mucosal surfaces.However, under conditions of immune dysfunction, colonizing C.albicans can become an opportunistic pathogen causing superficial or even life-threatening infe
The results obtained for the juveniles of Liza abu showed that in high salinity there was a decrease in food intake (1.88%) compared to low Liquor Bags salinity (7g/l) and tap water (1.5g/l).Also the total digestibility decreased 10% with increasing salinity from1.5 to 15 7g/l as a result of increasing the evacuation rate, where values reached 88.3
