HIV-1 depletes CD4+ T cells in the blood, lymphatic tissues, gut and lungs.Here we investigated the relationship between depletion and infection of CD4+ T cells in the lung parenchyma.The lungs of 38 Indian rhesus macaques in early to later stages of SIVmac251 infection were examined, and the numbers of CD4+ T cells and macrophages plus the frequen
Defining alternatives for non-renewable energy sources constitutes a priority to the development of our societies.One of these alternatives is biofuels production starting from energy crops, agricultural wastes, forest products or wastes.In this context, a "second generation" biofuels production, aiming at utilizing the whole plant, including ligno
Abstract Background To compare 2 different design scenarios of EDOF-IOLs inserted in the Liou-Brennan schematic model eye using raytracing simulation as a function of pupil size.Methods Two Jackets EDOF IOL designs were created and optimized for the Liou-Brennan schematic model eye using Zemax ray tracing software.Each lens was optimized to achieve
Abstract The lack of effective therapies for visual restoration in Rangehood Filter Clip Retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration has led to the development of new strategies, such as optogenetics and retinal prostheses.However, visual restoration is poor due to the massive light-evoked activation of retinal neurons, regardless of the segregat
Discretionary firm donation is usually related to the stakeholder theory and corporate social performance.Although theoretical explanations for this social behavior are pervasive in related literature, empirical modeling remains underdeveloped.We developed an explanatory structural model Rangehood Filter Clip of discretionary firm donation using fi
