A multicurved sheet metal surface for a skin structure has usually been manufactured using a conventional die forming process involving the use of both a die and a press machine in accordance with the product shape.However, such processes are economically inefficient because additional production costs are incurred for the development and managemen
HIV-1 trans-Infection Mediated by DCs: The Tip of the Iceberg of Cell-to-Cell Viral Transmission
HIV-1 cell-to-cell transmission is key for an effective viral replication that evades immunity.This highly infectious mechanism is orchestrated by different cellular targets that utilize a wide variety of processes to efficiently transfer HIV-1 particles.Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen presenting cells that initiate antiviral immu
Computational-Model-Based Analysis of Context Effects on Harmonic Expectancy.
Expectancy for an upcoming musical chord, harmonic expectancy, is supposedly based on automatic activation of tonal knowledge.Since previous studies implicitly relied on interpretations based on Western music theory, the underlying computational processes involved in harmonic expectancy and how it relates to tonality need further clarification.In p
Study of Interactions between Amlodipine and Quercetin on Human Serum Albumin: Spectroscopic and Modeling Approaches
The aim of this study was to analyze the binding interactions between a common antihypertensive drug (amlodipine besylate—AML) and the widely distributed plant flavonoid quercetin (Q), in the presence of human serum albumin (HSA).Fluorescence analysis was implemented to investigate the effect of ligands on albumin intrinsic fluorescence Beach
East-West Divide in the European Union: Legacy or Developmental Failure?
EU goes through a realignment process in the context of the demise of multilateralism, yet the impact of this process on the 11 new Member States from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is rarely discussed.There is a persistent East-West divide in the EU that is mainly Film-Memory socio-economic, even though often narrated as a political divide betwe
