Pre-dispersal seed removal of fleshy fruits and Quercus coccifera (Fagaceae) acorns in a recently burned Mediterranean habitat.The seed fate in early successional habitats can determine plant composition and regeneration capacity after disturbance.Pre-dispersal seed removal has been poorly studied in Mediterranean habitats, especially in burned and
Development of sansevieria trifasciata/natural rubber composites for a soft body armor application
Body armor Infrared Thermometers is an indispensable material in the military and defense.The development of body armor nowadays has shifted to lower-cost material with comparable ballistic properties.This research studied the potential of sansevieria trifasciata (ST) fiber as a reinforcement in soft body armor composite.The ST fiber was treated wi
Particle-mediated Intravenous Delivery of Antigen mRNA Results in Strong Antigen-specific T-cell Responses Despite the Induction of Type I Interferon
Cancer vaccines based on mRNA are extensively studied.The fragile nature of mRNA has instigated research into carriers that can protect it from Flux ribonucleases and as such enable its systemic use.However, copyright-mediated delivery of mRNA has been linked to production of type I interferon (IFN) that was reported to compromise the effectiveness
