This paper proposes a methodology based on the unconstrained binary programming (UBP) model and an optimization immune algorithm (IA) to estimate fault sections in electric power systems. The UBP model is formulated using ...

The Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is a live attenuated tuberculosis vaccine that has the ability to induce non-specific cross-protection against pathogens that might be unrelated to the target disease. Vaccination with ...

Nisin-controlled gene expression was used to develop a recombinant strain of Lactococcus lactis that is able to express the pneumococcal protective protein A (PppA) on its surface. Immunodetection assays confirmed that ...

Trained immunity is a type of non-specific memory-like immune response induced by some pathogens and vaccines, such as BCG, which can confer antigen-independent protection against a wide variety of pathogens. The BCG vaccine ...
