Evaluation of PLGA-Encapsulated Recombinant GroEL of immune Responses Against Enterohaemorrhagic and Enteropathogenic .

Background: Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) elicit humoral and cellular immune responses. Due to their high sequence homology, they can be developed as a new immunogen for cross prophylactic and vaccination effects against infectious agents such as Enteropathogenic and Enterohemorrhagic (EPEC and EHEC). This study aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity and cross-protective efficacy of rGroEL of () encapsulated in poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles against EPEC and EHEC.

Individual and combined impacts of urbanization and climate change on catchment runoff in Southeast Queensland, Australia.

Assessing the impacts of climate change and land-use change is of critical importance, particularly for urbanized catchments. In this study, a novel framework was used to examine and quantify these impacts on the runoff in six catchments in Southeast Queensland, Australia. For each catchment, temporal variations in impervious areas were derived from six satellite images using a sub-pixel classification technique and incorporated into the SIMHYD hydrological model.

Improving oxidative damage, photosynthesis traits, growth and flower dropping of pepper under high temperature stress by selenium.

Pepper is mostly produced in greenhouses and fields in spring up to the end of summer. The reproductive stage coincides with high temperature of summer, which causes flowers to drop, leading to reduction in the yield, Se as a beneficial element can improved some stress indices. Control randomized design experiment was conducted to investigate the effect(s) of Se on heat stresses of pepper in control environment.
