In contrast with studies such as those on the effect of a single elemental variable on Zn-Al-Mg coatings, Mg/Al is considered a variable parameter for evaluating the microstructure of Zn-Al-Mg coatings in this work, and the combined effect of the two elements is also taken into account.The Mg/Al ratios in the continuous hot-dip plating of low-alumi
Scrub typhus (ST) is a vector-borne rickettsial infection causing acute febrile illness.The re-emergence of ST in the Asia-Pacific region represents a serious public health threat.ST was first detected in Bhutan in 2008.However, the disease is likely to be under-diagnosed and under-reported, and the true impact is difficult to estimate.At the end o
Background: Melanocortinergic system represents a known system involved in the central regulation of body weight with the central proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons forming a potent anorexigenic network.Polymorphisms in the POMC gene locus are associated spl 2control with obesity phenotypes.Aim: To assess the contribution of the POMC gene 9-bp inse
