Our understanding of how the host immune system thwarts bacterial Outdoor Ottoman evasive mechanisms remains incomplete.Here, we show that host protease neutrophil elastase acts on Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to destroy factors that prevent serum-associated, complement-directed killing.The protease activity also enhances bact

Numerical Study on the Extrapolation Method for Predicting the Full-scale Resistance of a Ship with an Air Lubrication System
Frictional resistance comprises more than 60% of the total resistance for most merchant ships.Active and passive devices have been used to reduce frictional resistance, but the most CIDAR VINEGAR PLUS effective and practical device is an air lubrication system.Such systems have been applied in several ships, and their effects have been verified in
