ABSTRACT Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an essential glycolipid present in the outer membrane (OM) of many Gram-negative bacteria.Balanced biosynthesis of LPS is critical for cell viability; too little LPS weakens the OM, while too much LPS is lethal.In Escherichia coli, this balance is maintained by the YciM/FtsH protease complex, which adjusts LPS l
The paper presents the application of a compliant foil bearing for estimation of the thrust force in a single stage radial blower under operational conditions.The bump foil of the thrust bearing behaves as a nonlinear spring.The knowledge of the spring deflection curve allows estimation of the actual thrust force for a measured bump deflection at t

Abstract Background Dietary structure in ruminants is closely connected with the composition of gastrointestinal microbiota.Merging study has shown that dietary induced SARA causes the alteration of microbial 730 sunken lake road community in the cecum leading to the local inflammation.However, the mechanisms of cecum inflammation elicited by the s
Factors affecting the swelling of cellulosic fibers are considered in this review.Emphasis is placed on aqueous systems and papermaking fibers, but the review also considers cellulose solvent systems, nanocellulose research, and the behavior of cellulosic hydrogels.The topic of swelling of cellulosic fibers ranges from effects of humid air, continu
