This study employs the object-oriented Cart (Classification and Regression Trees) decision tree methodology to delineate contiguous gravel areas within Zamu town.The primary objective is to devise a technique capable of efficiently identifying small-scale features on a macroscopic scale.Given the pervasive and uninterrupted distribution of backgrou
Development of a continuous assay for high throughput screening to identify inhibitors of the purine salvage pathway in Plasmodium falciparum
Malaria, an infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites from the genus Plasmodium, represents a serious global health threat.The continued emergence of drug resistant strains has severely decreased current antimalarial drug efficacy and led to a perpetual race for drug discovery.Most protozoan parasites, including Plasmodium spp., are unable t
Decreased ubiquitin modifying enzyme A20 associated with hyper-responsiveness to ovalbumin challenge following intrauterine growth restriction
Abstract Background Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is strongly correlated with an increased risk of asthma later in life.Farm dust protects mice from developing house dust mite-induced asthma, and loss of ubiquitin modifying enzyme A20 in lung epithelium would abolish this protective effect.However, the mechanisms of A20 in the development
