Evaluating the effectiveness of nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic is crucial to maximize the epidemic containment while minimizing the social and economic impact of these measures.However, this endeavor crucially relies on surveillance data publicly released by health authorities that can hide several limitati
The cell intrinsic programming that regulates mammalian primordial germ cell (PGC) development in the pre-gonadal stage is challenging to investigate.To overcome this we created a transgene-free method for generating PGCs in vitro (iPGCs) from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs).Using labeling for SSEA1 and cKit, two cell surface molecules used previ
Consuming Hadoop MapReduce via virtual infrastructure as a service is becoming common practice as cloud service providers (CSP) offers relevant applications and scalable resources.One of the predominant requirements of cloud users is to improve resource utilization in the virtual cluster during the service period.However, it may not be possible whe
The study of prolonged exposure of natural soils to alkaline solutions has been conducted to analyze and control the local soil swelling behavior observed in industrial sites.The occurrence of foundation heave in a Brazilian industrial site prompted a laboratory investigation aimed at understanding the mechanism of interaction between soil and alka
