Complex inorganic powders based on calcium phosphates have found a plethora of practical applications.Of particular interest are the CaO-P2O5 system-based multi-component material powders and granules as the source of major- and micronutrients for the plants.The Rug Medium emerging strategy is to use nano fertilizers based on hydroxyapatite (HAP) f
Clan CA cysteine proteases, also known as papain-like proteases, play important roles throughout the malaria parasite life cycle and are therefore potential drug targets to treat this disease and prevent its transmission.In order to study the biological function of these proteases and to chemically validate some of them as viable drug targets, high
Lossy compression of scientific data arrays is a powerful tool to save network bandwidth and storage space.Properly applied lossy compression can reduce the size of a dataset by orders of magnitude while keeping all essential information, whereas a wrong choice of lossy compression parameters leads to the loss of valuable data.An important class of
Heartworm disease, caused by Dirofilaria immitis, is a vector-borne zoonotic disease, (mainly affecting canids and felids) causing chronic vascular and pulmonary pathology in its early stages, which worsens with parasite load and/or death of adult worms in the pulmonary artery or right heart cavity, and can be fatal to the host.Angiogenesis is a me
