Abstract Searching for deviations in quartic gauge boson couplings (QGCs) is one of the main goals of the electroweak program at the LHC.We consider positivity bounds adapted to the Standard Model, and show that a set of positivity constraints on 18 anomalous QGC couplings can be derived, by requiring that the vector boson scattering amplitudes of
WATERMELON Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been reported recently as a potential therapeutic approach for alopecia, such as androgenetic alopecia, but the exact mechanisms and effects of specific components of this recipe remain largely unknown.In this study, we identified that platelet factor 4 (PF4), a component of PRP, significantly suppressed hu
Abstract Background Developing countries such as Kenya still experience challenges around human resource to deliver refractive error services.However, given the burden of uncorrected refractive error, adoption of innovative and cost effective approaches is desirable.Hence this study intended to develop a task shifting framework integrated with tele
A numerical method is used to evaluate the influence of propeller parameters on the aerodynamic performance of shrouded coaxial dual rotors in hover.Compared with the open-rotor configuration, the shrouded rotors reduce the tip vortex, resulting in a higher thrust and figure of merit (FoM).The varying inflow distribution over the inlet lip of the s
Abstract Background A number of membrane-spanning proteins possess enzymatic activity and catalyze important reactions involving proteins, lipids or other substrates located within or near lipid bilayers.Alkaline ceramidases are seven-transmembrane proteins that hydrolyze the amide bond in ceramide to form sphingosine.Recently, a group of putative
