Abstract The Philippines is a high-incidence country for tuberculosis, with the increasing prevalence of multi- (MDR-TB) and extensively-drug (XDR-TB) resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains posing difficulties to disease control.Understanding the genetic diversity of circulating strains can provide insights into underlying drug resistance mut
In extensive livestock production, high densities may inhibit regulation processes, maintaining high levels of intraspecific competition over time.During competition, individuals typically modify their behaviours, particularly feeding and bite rates, which can therefore be used as indicators of competition.Over eight consecutive seasons, we investi
A bidirectional axial flow pump can realize Bows bidirectional pumping, which has a wide application prospect in coastal low-head pumping stations and water jet propulsion systems.In this paper, a typical bidirectional axial flow pump is taken as the research object, and the hydraulic model of the bidirectional axial flow pump is manufactured.The h
The slabs of some buildings in Barcelona are formed by unidirectional beams, with a ceramic arch in between, which are filled with broken pottery or construction waste.These structures often present problems such as displacement of the tiles arranged over it due to the lack of stiffness of the filling material.This supposes a risk to the user and B
