We describe drug-resistance mutation dynamics of the gag gene among individuals under antiretroviral virologic failure who underwent analytical treatment interruption (ATI).These mutations occur in and around the cleavage sites that form the particles that become the mature HIV-1 virus.The study involved a 12-week interruption in antiretroviral the
On the Use of Virtual Knowledge Graphs to Improve Environmental Sensor Data Accessibility
The rapid proliferation of environmental sensor networks (ESNs) used for monitoring environmental systems, such as meteorology and air quality, and advances in database technologies [e.g., structured query language Dog-Food Dry (SQL)] has made significant progress in sensor data management.Notwithstanding the strength of these databases, they can i
Tree-Climbing Behavior of a Forest-Dwelling Ungulate: The Formosan Serow
Ungulates are terrestrial herbivores, basically adapted to running fast on the ground; tree-climbing behavior has been reported only in seven species, and five of them live in open habitats (Capra hircus, Dog-Food Dry C.aegagrus, C.falconeri, C.cylindricornis, Oreotragus oreotragus).Tree-climbing behavior may also be evolved in ungulates inhabiting
Study on wetting and dust suppression characteristics of composite dust suppressant based on enhancement effect of fluorocarbon surfactant
Fluorocarbon surfactants could change coal structure and improve wettability characteristics, thus, it plays a significant role in coal dust prevention and control.Composite dust suppressant based on fluorocarbon surfactant (FS-31) enhancement was developed, and the surface tension and contact angle characteristics were analyzed.Based on the infrar
Long-term agricultural land-cover change and potential for cropland expansion in the former Virgin Lands area of Kazakhstan
During the Soviet Virgin Lands Campaign, approximately 23 million hectares (Mha) of Eurasian steppe grassland were converted into cropland in Northern Kazakhstan from 1954 to 1963.As a result Kazakhstan became an important breadbasket of the former Soviet Union.However, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 triggered widespread agricultural aban
