Recent years have seen unprecedentedly fast-growing prosperity in the commercial space industry.Several privately funded aerospace manufacturers, such as Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) and Blue Origin have transformed what we used to know about this capital-intense industry and gradually reshaped the future of human civilizatio

The aim of this study was to determine whether the speed, agility, aerobic and anaerobic capacities of football players varied by playing positions.Elite youth football players (n = 123, age = 15.7 ± 0.5 years) who played in six different positions, as goalkeepers WATCHES (GK), full backs (FB), central defenders (CD), wide midfielders (WM), ce

Buildings are major contributors to global energy consumption, with the thermal performance of their envelopes playing a crucial role.Detecting thermal bridges, which compromise insulation, is essential for energy efficiency.To efficiently detect thermal bridges, thermal infrared (TIR) imagery is widely used through visual inspections, more recentl

Genetic variation within and between fifteen closed broodstock lines of the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, reared at different hatcheries in the Brazilian coast, was assessed by RAPD analysis.Fifty two polymorphic loci were identified when a set of five decamer primers was used in PCR.The genetic Novelty Teas diversity analysis within l

Sustained pacemaker function is a challenge in biological pacemaker engineering.Human cardiomyocyte progenitor cells (CMPCs) have exhibited extended survival in the heart after transplantation.We studied whether lentivirally transduced CMPCs that express the pacemaker current If (encoded by HCN4) can be used as functional gene delivery vehicle in b
