ABSTRACT Candida auris has emerged as an outbreak pathogen associated with high mortality.Biofilm formation and linked drug resistance are common among Candida species.Drug sequestration by the biofilm matrix Crutch Accessories accounts for much of the antifungal tolerance.In this study, we examine the biofilm matrix composition and function for a
One biomimetic approach to surface passivation involves a series of surface coatings based on the slick surfaces of carnivorous pitcher plants (Nepenthes), termed slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS).This study introduces a simplified method to produce SLIPS using a polydopamine (PDA) anchor layer, inspired by mussel adhesion.SLIPS layer
In this study, a jet injection propeller was designed to increase its efficiency, and the results were compared by open water tests and numerical computations.Also, the change in shape of the slit and injection volume conditions, which are difficult to perform experiments with, were analyzed through computations.The jet injected from the blade surf
Limitation of labeled samples has always been a challenge for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification.In real remote sensing applications, we encounter a situation where an HSI scene is not labeled at all.To solve this problem, cross-domain learning methods are developed by utilizing another HSI scene with similar land covers and sufficient labele
The wood-boring beetles, including the majority of Cerambycidae, have developed the ability to metabolize a variety of toxic compounds derived from host plants and the surrounding environment.However, detoxification mechanisms underlying the evolutionary adaptation of a cerambycid beetle Pharsalia antennata to hosts and habitats are largely unexplo
