For many years, passive optical networks (PONs) have received a considerable amount of attention regarding their potential for providing broadband connectivity, especially in remote areas, to enable better life conditions for all citizens.However, it is essential to augment PONs with new features to provide high-quality connectivity without any tra
BACKGROUND: Schistosomal parasites can establish parasitization in a human host for decades; evasion of host immunorecognition including surface masking by acquisition of host serum components is one of the strategies explored by the parasites.Parasite molecules anchored on the membrane are the main elements in the interaction.Sjc23, a member of th
Abstract The PI3K/AKT/mTOR and RAF/MEK/ERK pathways are commonly activated by mutations and chromosomal translocation in vital targets.The PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway is dysregulated in nearly all kinds of neoplasms, with the component in this pathway alternations.RAF/MEK/ERK signaling cascades are used to conduct signaling from the cell surfac
ObjectivesWhile corticosteroids have been hypothesized to exert protective benefits in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, data remain mixed.This study sought to investigate the outcomes of methylprednisone administration in an Italian cohort of hospitalized patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection.MethodsPatients with confirmatory testing for S
Calculations of the superfluid density in the inner crust of neutron stars using different approaches are in strong disagreement, which causes a debate D-Ribose on the accountability of pulsar glitches based on superfluidity.Using a simple unified model, we study the dependence on approximation of the superfluid density in a periodic potential.In c
