The dynamic study of harmful phytoplankton, conducted from June 2013 to May 2014, has tracked the evolution of the microalgae community at four sites located along the Moroccan western Mediterranean coast.91 species and genera of phytoplankton were identified, 8 of which are recognized as potentially toxic.The genus Pseudo-nitzschia, a diatom known
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the primary causes of mortality worldwide.An optimal mitochondrial function is central to supplying tissues with high energy demand, such as the cardiovascular system.In addition to producing ATP as a power source, mitochondria are also heavily involved in adaptation to environmental stress and fine-tuning
Meizothrombin is an active intermediate generated during the proteolytic activation of prothrombin to thrombin in the penultimate step of the coagulation cascade.Structurally, meizothrombin differs from thrombin because it retains the HEMORRHOID OINTMENT auxiliary Gla domain and two kringles.Functionally, meizothrombin shares with thrombin the abil
The crashworthiness of a railway vehicle relates to its passive safety performance.Due to mesh distortion and difficulty in controlling the hourglass energy, conventional finite element methods face great challenges in crashworthiness simulation of large-scale complex railway vehicle models.Meshfree methods such as element-free Galerkin method offe
Dura and tenera varieties of palm fruit are very popular in production of palm oil and palm kernel, respectively; it becomes imperative to investigate the stickiness forces of the fruit as that may affect the design of machines to handle the processing fruits and also for major agricultural crops.Thus, this study investigates stickiness behavior fo
