ABSTRACTAcanthamoeba species are clinically relevant free-living amoebae (FLA) ubiquitously found in soil and water bodies.Metabolically active trophozoites graze on diverse microbes via phagocytosis.However, functional studies on Rab GTPases (Rabs), which are critical for controlling vesicle trafficking and maturation, are scarce for this FLA.This

Objectives Theoretical models and conceptual frameworks are often used to design research methods.This study aims to provide an overview of the application of theoretical models and conceptual frameworks in Public Health Services and Systems Research (PHSSR).We also examine how the integration of such terms in research can improve intervention desi

Thyroid cancer has become the most common endocrine malignancy.Although the majority of differentiated thyroid cancers have a favorable prognosis, advanced thyroid cancers, iodine-refractory thyroid cancers, and highly malignant undifferentiated carcinomas still face a serious challenge of poor prognosis and even death.Cancer stem cells are recogni

This paper presents a craft in experiential teaching and an experiment in embodied learning for peacebuilders and change-makers.The theories, practices and experiments are part of the postgraduate course in Peace of Mind.The intention is to invite the reader to see experiential learning and awareness-based practices as a tool that enables a possibi

Although various topologies of multi-terminal high voltage direct current (MT-HVdc) transmission systems are available in the literature, most of them are prone to loss of flexibility, reliability, stability, and redundancy in the events of grid contingencies.In this research, two new wind farms and substation ring topology (2WF-SSRT) are designed
