Effect of detergent, herbs and spices on the growth of Vibrio parahaemolyticus biofilm in seafood by Nillian, Elexson

“…Besides, cloves demonstrated concentration that ranged from 78.125 – 156.25 µg/ml, and 312.5 – 625 µg/ml to inhibit and to totally eradicate the growth of antibiotic resistant V. parahaemolyticus biofilm. Thus, these findings can be used to mitigate the resistance of biofilm growth in any food supply chain related to seafood in future.…”

Regulation of microRNA degradation in Caenorhabditis elegans via the E3 ubiquitin ligase EBAX-1 by Stubna, Michael William

“…TDMD underlies the instability of many miRNAs in diverse cell lines and animals. In this work, I probe the biological scope of TDMD as a regulatory mechanism in the nematode Caenorhabiditis elegans, which tolerates homozygous loss of the ZSWIM8 ortholog, EBAX-1, and expresses some miRNAs that are subject to rapid, developmentally regulated decay. …”

P2P energy trading among isolated microgrids in the remote area by Huang, Rui

“…As for the power supply in remote areas, the traditional transmission method by using the central grid has the drawbacks of large transmission loss and long transmission lines, which are easy to be broken. At the same time, there are areas where electricity is not available because of costly transmission losses, for the transmission networks are not yet widespread. …”
