Fast and accurate identification of biting midges is crucial in the study of Culicoides-borne diseases. In this work, we propose a two-stage method for automatically analyzing Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) species.
Thermodiffusion, which leads to a component separation in a mixture due to the thermal gradient, still does not have an unambiguous microscopic picture. Therefore, experimental studies, especially in convection free environment, are important.
The launch in 2019 of the new international system of units is an opportunity to highlight the key role that the fundamental laws of physics and chemistry play in our lives and in all the processes of basic research, industry and commerce.
The launch in 2019 of the new international system of units is an opportunity to highlight the key role that the fundamental laws of physics and chemistry play in our lives and in all the processes of basic research, industry and commerce. The main objective of these notes is to present the new SI in an accessible way for a wide audience.
Pathogens and humans share an intrinsic relation related to molecular mimicry in their antigens. Interactions between immune system and pathogenic antigens result in a production of antibodies that could protect against infection, but develop autoreactive responses mediated by autoantibodies that react to pathogenic and human antigens because they share epitopes.
In this paper we introduce a STEAM learning activity workshop addressed to familiarizing pre- and in-service basic school teachers with Educational Robots (ER) as didactic tools.
