Cryptococcus neoformans is a facultative intracellular pathogen and its interaction with macrophages is a key event determining the outcome of infection.Urease is a major virulence factor in C.neoformans but its role during macrophage interaction has not been characterized.Consequently, we analyzed the effect of urease on fungal-macrophage interact

The paper reports the results of experimental programme focused on the effect of various synthetic fibres on fracture properties and ductility of concrete.The fracture energy was assessed on beams with initial notches in three-point bend test.The incorporation of synthetic fibres had a slight effect on mechanical properties of concrete but, at Sens
Machining grooves into the surface of pine and fir (Abies spp.) deckboards reduces undesirable checking that develops when “profiled” boards are exposed to the weather.We aim to develop improved profiles for Douglas fir, western hemlock and white spruce decking to reduce their susceptibility to checking, and understand how profile geome
