SELF-REINOCULATION WITH FECAL FLORA CHANGES MICROBIOTA DENSITY AND COMPOSITION LEADING TO AN ALTERED BILE-ACID PROFILE IN THE MOUSE SMALL INTESTINE

Self-reinoculation with fecal flora changes microbiota density and composition leading to an altered bile-acid profile in the mouse small intestine

Abstract Background The upper gastrointestinal tract plays a prominent role in human physiology as the primary site for enzymatic digestion and nutrient absorption, immune sampling, and drug uptake.Alterations to the small intestine microbiome have been implicated in various human diseases, such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and inflammatory bow

The hybrid attic ventilation technique as a sustainable strategy for thermal comfort improvement and energy saving in tropical residential buildings

Thermal comfort in hot-humid tropical climates, such as Malaysia’s, is significantly affected by solar radiation, humidity, and air temperature.Solar radiation heats the roof, warming the enclosed attic space and distributing heat throughout the building’s interior.In tropical regions, Mattress Protector the attic is integral to the building, a

Load Balancing Routing with Bounded Stretch

Routing in wireless networks has been heavily studied in the last decade.Many routing protocols are based on classic shortest path algorithms.However, shortest path-based routing protocols suffer from uneven load distribution in the network, such as crowed center effect where the center nodes have more load than the nodes in the periphery.Aiming to
