As an alternative to walking and running, humans are able to skip.However, adult humans avoid it.This fact seems to be related to the higher energetic costs associated with skipping.Still, children, some birds, lemurs and lizards use skipping gaits during daily locomotion.We combined experimental data on humans with numerical simulations to test wh
Among several mechanisms that allow tumours to disarm the host immune system and thus to evade or suppress protective anti-tumour immunity, an important role for CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) has emerged.Numerous studies in humans have demonstrated increased Tregs in patients with carcinomas of the breast, lung, and pancreas, and this
Summary: Antiviral treatments targeting the coronavirus disease 2019 are urgently required.We screened a panel of already approved drugs in a cell culture model of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and identified two new agents having higher antiviral potentials than the drug Coperte candidates such as remdesivir and chro
Fault analysis in an integrated Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) is the highest priority factor to be taken into account for distributed generation (DG).The contribution of renewable energies (like solar and wind) to the power system is increasing continuously.New challenges are being faced while integrating such systems because of the no inert
