Mycoplasma bovis-induced inhibition of bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation is ameliorated after blocking the immune-inhibitory programmed death 1 receptor
(
American Society for Microbiology
, 2018 , Article)
Mycoplasma bovis-induced immune suppression is a major obstacle faced by the host for controlling infections. M. bovis impairment of antigen-specific T-cell responses is achieved through inhibiting the proliferation of ...
Genotoxic impact of long-term cigarette and waterpipe smoking on DNA damage and oxidative stress in healthy subjects
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Although a plethora of studies have examined tobacco smoke-cancer disease association, the involvement of cellular genetic toxicity remains unclear. Therefore, the present study provides molecular evidence for a pathway ...

, 2019 , Article)
A highly compact optical modulator is proposed and analyzed. The modulator is based on the hybrid plasmonic waveguide platform. The structure of the modulator is built from silicon, silver, and electro-optical polymer ...
Differential evolution-based pulse-width modulation technique for multiphase MC
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2019 , Article)
This paper addresses multiphase matrix converter (MPMCs) modulated with Venturini's classical scalar approach. The solution to obtain time-varying modulation functions was limited to 3 × 3 configuration, which was later ...
Eggshell membrane as a novel bio sorbent for remediation of boron from desalinated water
(
Academic Press
, 2018 , Article)
This study investigated the use of eggshell membrane (ESM) as a bio-sorbent and the effect of temperature, pH, and initial concentration on its efficiency. Furthermore, by altering the chemical composition, modified eggshell ...
Analysis of spatial data with a nested correlation structure
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Spatial statistical analyses are often used to study the link between environmental factors and the incidence of diseases. In modelling spatial data, the existence of spatial correlation between observations must be ...
