Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of SARS-CoV-2 in patients exposed to MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 antigens
(
Wiley
, 2024 , Article)
This study evaluated the potential for antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) in serum samples from patients exposed to Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Furthermore, we evaluated the effect of severe ...
The effects of ion bombardment of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene
(
Elsevier
, 2006 , Article)
Ion bombardment is a suitable tool to improve tribological properties of polymers. In this study UHMWPE samples were bombarded with 130keV He ions to the fluences ranging from 1×1014 to 2×1016cm−2. RBS and NRA techniques ...
Study on ferroelastic characteristics of gamma irradiated lithium potassium sulfate crystal
(
Elsevier
, 1999 , Article)
A detailed study of the optical absorption vs. γ-irradiation dose for lithium potassium sulfate crystal, LiKSO4 cut out perpendicular to x, y and z directions is presented. The optical density was measured within the ...

(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
BackgroundVaccines were developed and deployed to combat severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. This study aimed to characterize patterns in the protection provided by the BNT162b2 and ...
Surface layer modification of ion bombarded HDPE
(
Elsevier
, 2004 , Article)
Press-moulded, high density polyethylene (HDPE) samples were subjected to ion bombardment and effects of the modification studied. He+ ions of energy 100 keV or Ar+ ions of energy 130 keV were applied in the range of dose ...
Temperature and electric field effects on the dielectric dispersion of modified polyvinyl chloride
(
Elsevier
, 2003 , Article)
The effect of electric field on the dielectric dispersion of modified polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been investigated. The applied direct current (DC) field strength was ranging from 0 to 104 V cm−1. The complex permitivity ...
