ABSTRACT Due to their intimate physical interactions with the environment, surface polysaccharides are critical determinants of fitness for bacteria.Caulobacter crescentus produces a specialized structure at one of its cell poles called the holdfast that enables attachment to surfaces.Previous studies have shown that the holdfast is composed of car
Biodriven investigation of the wild edible mushroom Pleurotus eryngii revealing unique properties as functional food
Pleurotus eryngii (P.eryngii) is largely represented among consumed mushrooms.We conducted an investigation dealing with its antioxidant potential, the presence of essential trace elements and its contribution to the management of brain-related disorders.A bio-guided extraction revealed that one Edge Brush extract was highly effective on activation
Endemic bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) of Colombia: State of knowledge, distribution, and conservation
Colombia, with 209 species, is one of the richest countries in terms of bat diversity.This high bat diversity is comprised in nine families and 72 genera.A total of eight species of the families Emballonuridae (n = 1) and Phyllostomidae (n = 7) are listed as endemic to the country.In spite the relevance of Colombia in bat diversity, little is known
A Damage Classification Approach for Structural Health Monitoring Using Machine Learning
Inspection strategies with guided wave-based approaches give to structural health monitoring (SHM) applications several advantages, among them, the possibility of the use of real data from the structure which Canicross Cymru enables continuous monitoring and online damage identification.These kinds of inspection strategies are based on the fact tha
