Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is a gamma-herpesvirus and etiological agent of all forms of Kaposi sarcoma (KS).Saliva may play an important role in HHV-8 transmission in specific populations.Little is known about HHV-8 oral shedding pattern and the possible correlation with the HHV-8 serological profile and viremia.A prospective study was conducted o
Foamed concrete is a composite material with a density that is significantly lower than standard concrete.The property of being lightweight is due to tiny air voids produced by the addition of foaming agents in cement paste.The purpose of this research is to experimentally investigate the influence of various types of foaming agents i.e., protein v
Gene transcription leads to the generation of pre-mRNA molecules which contain both coding sequences (exons) and intervening non-coding sequences (introns).The primary transcript needs further processing which involves the excision of introns and ligation of exons.This process is called RNA splicing.Nearly all primary transcripts undergo alternativ
