The French State services in charge of flood forecasting supervise about 22,000 km among the 120,000 km of the French rivers within a warning procedure called Vigilance Crues (http://www.vigicrues.gouv.fr).Some recent dramatic flood events on small watershed not covered by Vigilance Crues highlight the need for a new warning procedure to anticipate
IntroductionThe therapeutic potential of bispecific antibodies is becoming widely recognised, with over a hundred formats already described.For many applications, enhanced tissue penetration is sought, so bispecifics with low molecular weight may offer a route to enhanced potency.Here we report the design of bi- and tri-specific antibody-based cons
Aluminium LM13 alloy based hybrid particulate composites have been processed by adding boron carbide (B _4 C) and titanium diboride (TiB _2 ) particles.The wt% of titanium diboride (TiB _2 ) is varied as 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and a constant 3 wt% of boron carbide is used to prepare the composites.Stir cast route is used to fabricate the composites.The
Boundaries between habitats are usually accompanied by transitions in the diversity and structural complexity of insect assemblages.Edge effects on carabid beetle assemblages across forest-meadow ecotones in Dinaric beech-fir forests were determined in the Gorski Kotar region of western Croatia.Carabid beetles were sampled using pitfall traps set a
Stamping The genus Burkholderia sensu lato is composed of a diverse and metabolically versatile group of bacterial species.One characteristic thought to be unique for the genus Burkholderia is the presence of two forms each (with and without 2-hydroxylation) of the membrane lipids phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and ornithine lipids (OLs).Here, we sh
