Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the northern hemisphere.Current serodiagnostics are insensitive in early infection.Sensitivity in these seroassays is compromised by the necessity to preserve specificity in the presence of cross-reactive epitopes in Borrelia burgdorferi target antigens.We evaluated the efficacy of using synth
Graphene, as a rising-star materials, has attracted interest in fabricating lightweight self-lubricating metal matrix composites with superior mechanical and wear properties.In this work, graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) reinforced AZ31 alloy composites were fabricated by a powder metallurgy technique and then a hot extrusion.The effects of GNPs conte
Offshore production of oil and natural gas with high carbon dioxide content and high gas-to-oil ratio entail stringent processing conditions that require innovations and first-of-a-kind designs, which bear uncertainties derived from the scarcity of commercial-scale projects, hindering to move along technology learning curves.Consequently, unpredict
