ABSTRACT Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is a significant risk factor for secondary staphylococcal pneumonia in influenza A virus (IAV)-infected hosts.However, little research has been undertaken to define the environmental and physiological changes that cause S.aureus to shift from commensal to pathogenic organism in this setting.The abili

The article focuses on the essence of populism and fascism in the context of the political regime in Romania.It analyses the real threat of fascism in the interwar period in Romania as well as a negative impact on the socio-economic sphere in the Romanian society.The article also points to the fact that the fascist party in Romania was short-lived.

Time-lapse light microscopy combined with in vitro neuronal cultures has provided a significant contribution to the field of Developmental Neuroscience.The establishment of the neuronal polarity, i.e., formation of axons and dendrites, key structures responsible for inter-neuronal signaling, was described in 1988 by Dotti, Sullivan and Lighting Ban

Miniature hydraulic actuators are especially suitable for narrow-space and harsh environment arrangement.However, when using thin and long hoses to connect components, the volume expansion caused by pressurized oil inside can have significant adverse effects on the performance of the miniature system.Moreover, the volumetric variation relates to ma

Electric-arc furnace dust (EAFD) is a by-product of steel production and recycling.This fine-grained material contains high amounts of zinc and iron as well as significant amounts of potentially toxic elements such as lead, cadmium and chromium.Therefore, the treatment and stabilization of this industrial residue is necessary.Concrete is a well-kno
