The signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM), present on the surface of hematopoietic cells, can regulate some events of the immune responses.This modulatory action is associated with the capacity of SLAM to interact with an intracytoplasmic adapter, such as SLAM-associated protein (SAP).SLAM is constitutively expressed in most of these cel

Bath Bombs The cladding pumping within a double-clad fiber structure is an effective technique to convert high-power multimode beam into high-power, almost diffraction limited beam.Since the pump efficiency is limited by the presence of higher skew-ray modes, geometrical perturbations are used to scramble the modes and to achieve a higher overlap o
Contemporary agriculture is facing new challenges with the increasing population and demand for food on Earth and the decrease in crop productivity due to abiotic stresses such as water deficit, high salinity, and extreme fluctuations of temperatures.The knowledge of plant stress responses, though widely extended in recent years, is still unable to
