This workshop is the second of the WORKPLANS series, which we started in 2016.The main goal of WORKPLANS is to build up a network of planetary nebulae (PNe) experts to address the main open questions in the field of PNe research.The specific aims of the WORKPLANS workshop series Media Tray are (i) to discuss and prioritize the most important topics
Rickettsia felis is a common emerging pathogen detected in mosquitoes in sub-Saharan Africa.We hypothesized that, as with malaria, great apes may be exposed to the infectious bite of infected mosquitoes and release R.felis DNA in their feces.We conducted a study of 17 forest sites in Central Africa, testing 1,028 fecal samples from 313 chimpanzees,
Apical membrane antigen-1 (AMA1) is a micronemal protein of apicomplexan parasites that appears to be essential during the invasion of host cells.In this study, a full-length cDNA of AMA1 was identified from Eimeria tenella (Et) using expressed sequence tag and Credenza and Hutch the rapid amplification of cDNA ends technique.EtAMA1 had an open rea
This paper presents a hardware-assisted security primitive that integrates the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) into IoT devices for authentication in smart grids.Data and device security plays a pivotal role in smart grids since they are vulnerable to various attacks that could risk grid failure.The proposed Fortified-Grid security primitive provides
BACKGROUND: Genome sequencing projects have been completed for several species representing four highly diverged holometabolous insect orders, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, and Lepidoptera.The striking evolutionary diversity of insects argues a need for efficient methods to apply genome information from such models to genetically uncharacterize
