For application in animal feed, a phytase of interest must have high activity in the broad range prevalent industrial condition and in digestive tract of the animal. The present investigation describes approaches to rationally engineer a phytase with better activity profiles. Computer modelling is used to identify and examine active site of phyFAUI

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has caused a major transformation in the education system around the world. Due to the closure of schools and other learning institutions, the teaching and learning that were once face to face are now conducted online. Sudden change of education landscape has put educators and students in harrowing time. This paper rev

The multidisciplinary field of tissue-engineering was born as a means to restore or replace diseased tissue with new living tissue that is designed or constructed to meet the needs of each individual patient. Scientific advances in biomaterials, stem cells,growth factors, and biomimetic environments have created opportunities to reconstruct tissues

Recently, many researches all over the world are focusing on ways of utilizing either industrial or agricultural wastes as a source of raw materials for the construction industry. The aim of this study is to determine the optimum proportion of durian saw dust as partial replacement for fine aggregate. These wastes utilization would not only be econ

This study examines evolution characteristics of inelastic strains and materials damage in Sn-4Ag-0.5Cu (SAC405) solder joints of a BGA package under cyclic mechanical stressing. For this purpose, a finite element model of the assembly under four-point bend test set-up is employed. Strain rate-dependent response of the solder is represented by Anan

Progressive materials damage process in solder joint under cyclic shear deformation is examined in this study. A 3-D finite element model of a single reflowed SAC405 solder specimen is developed for this purpose. Cyclic relative displacement cycles between zero and 1.0 mm at displacement ramp rate of 2.0 mm/sec. is applied in the direction parallel

leading to pneumonitis with a poor prognosis. Tocilizumab, a type of humanized monoclonal antibody antagonizing interleukin-6 receptors, is currently utilized to treat COVID-19. The present study reviews tocilizumab adverse drug events (ADEs) reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) pharmacovigilance database. Research design and methods: Al

This paper aims at developing a flexible video analysis system that can be used in wide range of video surveillance applications as well as to detect the human being. The developed system is called here as Smart Video Analysis System. This SVAS is able to detect and track interested objects. It can also detect people and recognize their activities

Identifying the intraocular lens (IOL) material is an important step before further mechanical and optical testing can be done. The characterization of the materials is particularly important during the finite element analysis where the simulation of the lens can be performed in accordance to the well-established standards. The aim of this work is
