THE ENHANCING EFFECT OF FUNGAL IMMUNOMODULATORY PROTEIN-VOLVARIELLA VOLVACEA (FIP-VVO) ON MATURATION AND FUNCTION OF MOUSE DENDRITIC CELLS

The Enhancing Effect of Fungal Immunomodulatory Protein-Volvariella Volvacea (FIP-vvo) on Maturation and Function of Mouse Dendritic Cells

Volvariella volvacea, also known as straw mushroom, is a common edible mushroom in Chinese cuisine.It contains many nutrients for human health.A fungal immunomodulatory protein (FIP) has caruso rhodiola been isolated from V.volvacea and named FIP-vvo.Although the regulatory effects of many FIPs on immunity have been identified, the impact of FIP-vv

Antipredator Behavior Produced by Heterosexual and Homosexual Tandem Running in the Termite Reticulitermes chinensis (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Heterosexual and homosexual tandem running can be observed together in the alate pairings in some species of termites.This study caruso rhodiola examined the effect of heterosexual and homosexual tandem running in the termite Reticulitermes chinensis on the predation risk by a predatory ant, Leptogenys kitteli.Results showed that both heterosexual

Investigating double-diffusive natural convection in a sloped dual-layered homogenous porous-fluid square cavity

Abstract This article investigates natural convection with double-diffusive properties numerically in a vertical bi-layered square enclosure.The cavity has two parts: one part is an isotropic and homogeneous porous along the wall, and an adjacent part is an aqueous fluid.Adiabatic, impermeable horizontal walls and constant and uniform temperatures

Parallax-Tolerant Weakly-Supervised Pixel-Wise Deep Color Correction for Image Stitching of Pinhole Camera Arrays

Camera arrays typically use image-stitching algorithms to generate wide field-of-view panoramas, but parallax and color differences caused read more by varying viewing angles often result in noticeable artifacts in the stitching result.However, existing solutions can only address specific color difference issues and are ineffective for pinhole imag
