Abstract Background Fitness costs imposed on bacteria by antibiotic resistance mechanisms are believed to hamper their dissemination.The scale of these costs is highly variable.Some, including resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to the clinically important antibiotic mupirocin, have been reported as Hair Styling Tools being cost-free, which suggest
A comprehensive review on the application of microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) technique in soil erosion mitigation as a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach
Erosion is regarded as a significant global concern caused by the inferior engineering characteristics of soils, encompassing their susceptibility to collapse and high porosity as well as their limited strength.These attributes render soils prone to the adverse consequences of erosion, which can have far-reaching implications for the environment, i
Nesting biology of three Megachile (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) species from Eastern Amazonia, Brazil
Megachile Latreille is a conspicuous genus of solitary bees distributed worldwide.However, the biology of tropical species is still little known.We present data on biology of Megachile brasiliensis Data Torre, Megachile sejuncta Cockerell and Megachile stilbonotaspis Moure found in two remnants of Hair Styling Tools eastern Amazonian forest in nort
Photonic Crystal Cavity with a Thin Low-Index Layer for Silicon-Compatible Nanolight Source
The development of an efficient silicon-based nanolight source is an important step for silicon-based photonic integrated circuits.We propose a high quality factor photonic crystal nanocavity consisting of silicon and silica, which can be used as a silicon-compatible nanolight source.We show that this cavity can effectively confine lights in a low-
