If disaster responses vary in their effectiveness across communities, health equity is affected.This paper aims to evaluate and describe variation in the federal disaster responses to 2017 Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, compared with the need and severity of storm damage through a retrospective analysis.Our analysis spans from landfall to 6 mon
The Analysis of Characteristics of Anti-yaw Damper and High-speed Trains Adaptability
The characteristics of the anti-yaw damper for high-speed trains in China were studied by means of the test method, including the analysis of dynamic damping and Ramekins dynamic stiffness parameters.The experimental results showed that the dynamic stiffness of the anti-yaw damper increased with the increase of the frequency value, while the dynami
A new antimicrobial peptide, Pentatomicin, from the stinkbug Plautia stali
Abstract Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play crucial roles in the innate immunity of diverse organisms, which exhibit remarkable diversity in size, structural property and antimicrobial spectrum.Here, we describe a new AMP, named Pentatomicin, from the stinkbug Plautia stali (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae).Orthologous nucleotide sequences of Pentatomicin
