Planktonic ciliate species form multiple trophic guilds and are central components of freshwater food webs.Progress in molecular analytical tools has opened new insight into ciliate assemblages.However, high and variable 18S Scales rDNA copy numbers, typical for ciliates, make reliable quantification by amplicon sequencing extremely difficult.For a
The concept of closed nuclear fuel cycle seems to be the most promising options for the efficient usage of the nuclear energy resources.However, it can be implemented only in fast breeder reactors of the IVth generation, which are characterized by the fast neutron spectrum.The lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR) was defined and studied on the level of t
Despite their simplicity, quantum harmonic oscillators are ubiquitous in the modeling of physical systems.They are able to capture universal properties that serve as references for the more complex systems found in nature.In this spirit, we apply a model of a Hamiltonian for open quantum systems in equilibrium with a Mascara particle reservoir to e
The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic in China in late 2019 led to the fast development of efficient therapeutics.Of the major structural proteins encoded by the SARS-CoV-2 genome, the SPIKE (S) protein has attracted considerable research interest because of the central role it plays in virus entry into host Clothing cells.Therefore,
Domestic violence in South Africa is a consequence of the complex interplay of patriarchy, culture, and the negative masculine construct.The patriarchal cultural beliefs and traditions that emphasise on male assertiveness and domination of women influence the constructions of masculinity and reinforce domestic violence.The goal of this article was
