A study of human monoclonal antibodies to influenza and ebola viruses by Rijal, P

“…The response was more diverse, employing a wide selection of VH/L genes, and was directed at multiple epitopes in at least three distinct regions on the GP. Despite these features, half of the antibodies neutralised an Ebola surrogate virus <em>in vitro</em>, and many were therapeutic in a murine infection model. …”

The impact of natural climate variability on the global distribution of Aedes aegypti: a mathematical modelling study by Kaye, AR, Obolski, U, Sun, L, Hart, WS, Hurrell, JW, Tildesley, MJ, Thompson, RN

“…Each of these scenarios corresponds to a single climate projection, allowing us to explore the difference in Ae aegypti suitability between the most-suitable and the least-suitable projections. <p><b>Findings</b></p> Our key finding was that natural climate variability generates substantial variation in future projections of environmental suitability for Ae aegypti. …”

Effects of particle sizes on total catechin content and antioxidant activity of Musa paradisiaca inflorescence using supercritical carbon dioxide (SFE-CO2)) extraction by Qing, Chong Xiu, Hean, Chong Gun, Nik Hadzir, Noor Hadzuin

Modelling and experimental analysis of aero-engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics fueled with green fuel blends by Abu Talib, Abd Rahim, S. M. Altarazi, Yazan, Yu, Jianglong, Gires, Ezanee, Fahmi Abdul Ghafir, Mohd, Tahmasebi, Arash, Yusaf, Talal, Alsultan, Abdulkareem G., Yunus, Robiah

“…GD10PME10 produced the lowest NOx (12.5 ppm) at maximum speed, while Jet-A1 emitted the least NOx (7.5 ppm) at 120 k RPM. Overall, the data suggested that green fuel might increase the physiochemical properties of biodiesel blends, hence improving the fuel's capacity to burn more effectively in aero-engines.…”
