Interferons (IFNs) play central roles in establishing innate immunity and mediating adaptive immunity against multiple pathogens.Three known types of IFNs identify their cognate receptors, initiate cascades of signalling events and eventually result in the induction of a myriad of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs).These ISGs perform a multitude of functi
Long-Term Thermal Performance of Group of Energy Piles in Unsaturated Soils under Cyclic Thermal Loading
Geothermal energy piles (GEPs) are an environmentally friendly heat exchange technology that dualizes the role of the structural foundation pile for load support and in meeting the building heating/cooling need.Energy loops made from high-density polyethylene, which allow heat copyright fluid circulation, are fitted into the pile foundation element
