Assessing the current forces exerted on a semi-submersible truss fish cage is crucial for understanding drag force distribution and ensuring the structural safety.The present study employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods and porous media theory to predict the drag forces on a semi-submersible truss fish cage, providing a detailed descrip
Salivary components from disease vectors help arthropods to acquire blood and have been shown to enhance pathogen transmission in different model systems.Here we show that two salivary enzymes from Lutzomyia longipalpis have a synergist effect that facilitates a more efficient blood meal intake and diffusion of other sialome components.We have prev
A retrospective study was done of data on all patients registered at one of the largest cleft lip and palate clinics in South Africa (n = 3174).The associated syndromes and other genetic variations [(abbreviation:) ASGV] found in the population of persons suffering from facial cleft deformities (FCD) were analysed.832 (26.2%) cleft lip and/ or pala
