Bacteria form complex and highly elaborate surface adherent communities known as biofilms which are held together by a self-produced extracellular matrix.We have previously shown that by adopting a biofilm mode of existence in vivo, the gram negative bacterial pathogens Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella pertussis are able to efficiently colo

Abstract Background Despite recent progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating aging Diagnostic Equipment and lifespan, and the pathways involved being conserved in different species, a full understanding of the aging process has not been reached.In particular, increasing evidence suggests an active role for the nervous system in

Abstract Multiple studies have described the anatomy and function of the external ear (pinna) of bats, and other placental mammals, however, studies of marsupial pinna are largely absent.In bats, the tragus appears to be especially important for locating and capturing insect prey.In this study, we aimed to investigate the pinnae of Australian marsu

Abstract For the integrity monitoring of a multi-source PNT (Positioning, Navigation, and Timing) resilient fusion navigation system, a theoretical framework of multi-level autonomous integrity monitoring is proposed.According to the mode of multi-source fusion navigation, the framework adopts the top-down logic structure and establishes the naviga
