Leishmania major infection in humanized mice induces systemic infection and provokes a nonprotective human immune response.

BACKGROUND: Leishmania (L.) species are the causative agent of leishmaniasis.Due to the lack of efficient vaccine candidates, drug therapies are the only option to deal with cutaneous leishmaniasis.Unfortunately, chemotherapeutic interventions show high toxicity in addition to an increased risk of dissemination of drug-resistant parasites.An approp

Crossover Induced Electron Pairing and Superconductivity by Kinetic Renormalization in Correlated Electron Systems

We investigate the ground Tank Tops state of strongly correlated electron systems based on an optimization variational Monte Carlo method to clarify the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity.The wave function is optimized by introducing variational parameters in an exponential-type wave function beyond the Gutzwiller function.The many-bod

METALLOGRAPHIC SAMPLE PREPARATION STATION-CONSTRUCTIVE CONCEPT

In Trailer Tow Mount this paper we propose to present the issues involved in the case of the constructive conception of a station for metallographic sample preparation.This station is destined for laboratory work.The metallographic station is composed of a robot ABB IRB1600, a metallographic Right Endcap microscope, a gripping device, a manipulator

Accuracy in starphotometry

Starphotometry, the night-time counterpart of sunphotometry, has not yet achieved the commonly sought observational error level of 1 %: a spectral optical depth (OD) error level of 0.01.In order to address this issue, we investigate a large variety of systematic (absolute) uncertainty sources.The bright-star catalogue of extraterrestrial references
