Factors associated with low back pain in ready-made garments workers in Bangladesh
Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent and debilitating health issue that affects a substantial portion of the global population, including the ready-made garment (RMG) workers in Bangladesh.
Embracing Multiple Ways of Knowing for Coastal and Fisheries Management
The weaving of diverse knowledge systems is an increasingly adopted approach in scientific research. Despite documented successes, skepticism among scientists and decision-makers persists, leaving unaddressed gaps.
Amphiphilic peptide Mastoparan-B induces conformational changes within the AdeB efflux pump, down-regulates adeB gene expression, and restores antibiotic susceptibility in an MDR strain of Acinetobacter baumannii
A series of computer-based experiments was done to find the mechanism antiefflux activity of MP-B against the MDR strain of A. baumannii (AB). We generated 20 poses of apo-MP-B using the InterPep tool. Analysis revealed that apo MP-B formed H-bonds to the backbone of five amino acids in Helix-5.
Why is vaporization-induced composition change important during additive manufacturing?
During the Laser Powder Bed Fusion , volatile alloying elements can selectively vaporize from the molten pool, leading to composition change of the final part compared to the original feedstock. Loss of alloying elements impact the microstructure, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties.
