In the western United States, Goldenrod pesticides used in agricultural and urban areas are often detected in streams and rivers that support threatened and endangered Pacific salmon.Although concentrations are rarely high enough to cause direct salmon mortality, they can reach levels sufficient to impair juvenile feeding behavior and limit macroin
The behavior of passengers in urban railway stations (i.e., metro stations) is dependent on environmental, cultural, and temporal factors.This affects how escalator infrastructures are used, with some passengers standing on one side of the steps to allow others to walk and, in other cases, others standing or walking on both sides of the steps.In th
Optical camera communications (OCC) research field has grown recently, aided by ubiquitous digital cameras; however, atmospheric conditions can restrict their feasibility in outdoor Soda Chargers scenarios.In this work, we studied an experimental OCC system under environmental phenomena emulated in a laboratory chamber.We found that the heat-induce
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a human pathogen that worsens the prognosis of many immunocompromised patients.Here, we annotated and compared the genomes of two lytic phages that infect clinical strains of K.pneumoniae (vB_KpnM-VAC13 and vB_KpnM-VAC66) and phenotypically characterized vB_KpnM-VAC66 (time of adsorption of 12 min, burst size of 31.49 ± 0.
