Summary: Background: The lack of community awareness about rabies control is a major issue that cane thwarts efforts to prevent human deaths caused by rabies.The objectives of this study were (1) to assess community knowledge and attitudes about rabies, rabies prevention and stray dog control in an urban slum community and (2) to determine the fact
Background.With numerous extraction protocols for total RNA and RNA fractions, like microRNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), available for various cell and tissue types, obtaining a high quantitative and qualitative yield from some special material, such as the nucleus pulposus, remains challenging.Nucleus pulposus is troublesome to manag
Understanding the fundamental characteristics of microbial communities could have far reaching implications for human health and applied biotechnology.Despite this, much is still unknown regarding the genetic basis and evolutionary strategies underlying the formation of viable synthetic communities.By pairing auxotrophic mutants in co-culture, it h
Abstract The topology of the network of load transmitting connections plays an essential role in the cascading failure dynamics of complex systems driven by the redistribution of load after local breakdown events.In particular, as the network structure is gradually tuned from regular to completely random a transition occurs from the localized to me
