We report the isolation, characterization, and development of a robust genetic system for a halophilic, Fe(II)-oxidizing bacterium isolated from a vertical borehole originating 714 m below the surface located in the Soudan Iron Mine in northern Minnesota, USA.Sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene places the isolate in the genus Marinobacter of the
There are some disadvantages for existing heave compensation systems of drill string used for the Floating Drilling Platform (FDP), including high energy consumption, large and complex structure, and expensive manufacturing and maintenance costs.In view of the above, we present a streamlined mechanical semi-active heave compensation system (MSAHC)
As many countries are now seeking to protect their own markets rather than indulge in global trade, this paper examines whether this type of de-globalization behavior has been having any effect on international investment relationships through a systematic analysis of international investment network (IIN) in 127 economies from 2005 to 2016.Unlike
Abstract Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for difficult acute cholecystitis (AC) cases bears a high risk of vasculobiliary injuries (VBI).The Tokyo Guidelines 2018 (TG18) recommend the use of bailout procedures and subtotal cholecystectomy to prevent VBI.Performing a safe LC is challenging, even when Car Accessories followed by an accur
Background.Clear cell chondrosarcoma (CCCS) is a rare subtype of chondrosarcoma and comprises between 1.6% and 2.5% of all chondrosarcoma.They are known to be chemo- and radiotherapy resistant; surgical resection is therefore the therapy of choice.Methods.We present a 63-year-old woman with a progressive lung nodule 20 years after initial diagnosis
