ABSTRACT Uncultured and therefore uncharacterized Bacteroidetes lineages are ubiquitous in many natural ecosystems which specialize in lignocellulose degradation.However, their metabolic contribution remains mysterious, as well-studied cultured Bacteroidetes have been shown to degrade only soluble polysaccharides within the human distal gut and her
In this paper, a patch antenna is proposed with reconfigurable patterns in the azimuth plane.The basic structure of the antenna is a circular patch upon which a vertical slot is etched.In addition, a row of shorting posts along the horizontal direction is placed underneath Calculator the patch.With the aid of characteristic mode analysis (CMA), rec
PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of venting incision on graft detachment in Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective comparative study on DSAEK procedure performed with (n wheel insert = 13) and without (n = 39) venting incision.Patients were treated with DSAEK for various causes of endotheli
Based on the characteristics of the configuration and flight of the micro gliding air vehicle (MGAV), an analysis and optimization for general gliding path of different mission demands is carried out.Firstly, an overall design method and parameters are summarized.Secondly, the equilibrium glide launching parameters are determined based on the gener
