The swelling phenomenon of expansive soil is considered one of the most serious problems that face geotechnical engineers.The principal purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of geogrid for reinforcing sand cushion on the heave of isolated footing resting Lounge Bottoms on a top of a sand cushion underlined by highly active expan
An Operational Numerical System for Oil Stranding Risk Assessment in a High-Density Vessel Traffic Area
In the Mediterranean Sea unique environmental characteristics and sensitive assets coexist with intense maritime traffic that is represented by frequent daily passages of vessels along the main waterways.In order to assess the risk of oil stranding in case of at-sea emergencies and provide key products for environmental agencies or policymakers pre
Integration of genomic analysis and transcript expression of ABCC8 and KCNJ11 in focal form of congenital hyperinsulinism
BackgroundThe focal form of CHI is caused by an autosomal recessive pathogenic variant affecting the paternal homologue of genes ABCC8 or KCNJ11 and a second somatic event specifically occurring in the affected islet of Langerhans.The approach of this study was to integrate the genetic changes occurring in pancreatic focal lesions of CHI at the gen
Screening of antibiofilm and anti-quorum sensing activty of Actinomycetes isolates extracts against aquaculture pathogenic bacteria
Abstract Background Indonesia is the third largest producer of fish and other aquaculture products in the world, making this industry a major contributor in the economy of Indonesia.However, this industry continually overcome challenges, one of them are bacterial outbreaks.In addition, the emergence of these bacterial outbreaks were worsen due to t
