Chagas teal horse blanket disease affects about 5 million people across the world.The etiological agent, the intracellular parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T.cruzi), can be diagnosed using microscopy, serology or PCR based assays.However, each of these methods has their limitations regarding sensitivity and specificity, and thus to complement these exis
A critical review of carbonate reservoir wettability modification during low salinity waterflooding
The nature of carbonate reservoirs promotes the adsorption of oil onto the rock surface hence making oil recovery a challenge even with the interventions of varied chemical EOR methods.Recently, low salinity water flooding has become of great interest since it is cost-effective and environmentally friendly.Although low salinity waterflooding has be
Widespread occurrence of fecal indicator bacteria in oligotrophic tropical streams. Are common culture-based coliform tests appropriate?
Monitoring of stream water quality is a key element of water resource management worldwide, but methods that read more are commonly used in temperate habitats may not be appropriate in humid tropical systems.We assessed the influence of four land uses on microbial water quality in 21 streams in the Panama Canal Watershed over a one-year period, usi

Glycogen Dynamics Drives Lipid Droplet Biogenesis during Brown Adipocyte Differentiation
Summary: Browning induction or transplantation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) or brown/beige adipocytes derived from progenitor or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can represent a powerful strategy to treat metabolic diseases.However, our poor understanding of the mechanisms that govern the differentiation and activation of brown adipocytes li
