PRE-EXPOSURE TO NON-PATHOGENIC BACTERIA DOES NOT PROTECT DROSOPHILA AGAINST THE ENTOMOPATHOGENIC BACTERIUM PHOTORHABDUS.

Pre-exposure to non-pathogenic bacteria does not protect Drosophila against the entomopathogenic bacterium Photorhabdus.

Immune priming in insects involves an initial challenge with a non-pathogenic microbe or exposure to a low dose of pathogenic microorganisms, which provides a certain degree of protection against a subsequent Headstalls and Bridles pathogenic infection.The protective effect of insect immune priming has been linked to the activation of humoral or ce

Phase field modeling of dendritic coarsening during isothermal

Dendritic coarsening in Al-2mol%Si alloy during isothermal solidification at 880K was investigated by phase field modeling.Three coarsening mechanisms operate in the alloy: (a) melting Light Duty Speaker Cable of small dendrite arms; (b) coalescence of dendrites near the tips leading to the entrapment of liquid droplets; (c) smoothing of dendrites.
