Proteomic and immunoproteomic characterization of a DIVA subunit vaccine against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
Abstract Background Protection of pigs by vaccination against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, the causative agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, is hampered by the presence of 15 different serotypes.A DIVA subunit vaccine comprised of detergent-released proteins from A.pleuropneumoniae serotypes Coffee Beans, Tea Leaves, Pet Treats, Powder and Dry Fo
How to Spatially Mediate Conflicts?
Various forms of violence and RETURN conflict continue to shape our habitats.What historically has been straightforward and even obvious two-way dependency, in recent years took more subtle and covert form due to sophisticated technological advancements in the fields of media, surveillance and armament.Recognising the detrimental effects of these n
Triple exponentially weighted moving average control chart with measurement error
Abstract Measurement error (M.E) can have a substantial impact on quality control applications, diminishing the sensitivity to detect changes in the mean or variance of quality characteristics.To monitor shifts in process mean and dispersion, Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) Car/Truck Wash and Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) control charts are c
