Kinetic study and modelling of drying of .

Microalgae, a versatile source of biofuels, chemicals, and nutraceuticals, necessitates efficient drying for subsequent applications. Extensive studies have been done on the benefits and uses of microalgae, but very few are focusing on drying. This research focused on a specific microalga, , to analyze the drying kinetics involved in the moisture removal process.

Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of strains isolated from patients with dental caries.

Background And Objectives: The oral cavity harbors numerous strains which display remarkable genotypic and phenotypic diversity. This study evaluated the genotypic and phenotypic diversity of 209 strains isolated from 336 patients with dental caries and compared with the universal reference strain, UA159.

Materials And Methods: Selective cultivation on mitis-salivaries-bacitracin agar and species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out to isolate and identify the 209 isolates from 336 patients with dental caries.

Two highly similar LAEDDTNAQKT and LTDKIGTEI epitopes in G glycoprotein may be useful for effective epitope based vaccine design against pathogenic Henipavirus.

Nipah virus and Hendra virus, two members of the genus Henipavirus, are newly emerging zoonotic pathogens which cause acute respiratory illness and severe encephalitis in human. Lack of the effective antiviral therapy endorses the urgency for the development of vaccine against these deadly viruses. In this study, we employed various computational approaches to identify epitopes which has the potential for vaccine development.
