Are we serologically prepared against an avian influenza pandemic and could seasonal flu vaccines help us? by Iván Sanz-Muñoz, Javier Sánchez-Martínez, Carla Rodríguez-Crespo, Corina S. Concha-Santos, Marta Hernández, Silvia Rojo-Rello, Marta Domínguez-Gil, Ahmed Mostafa, Luis Martinez-Sobrido, Jose M. Eiros, Aitor Nogales

“…However, seasonal vaccination was able to increase the antibody titers to protective levels in a moderate percentage of people, probably due to cross-reactive responses. These findings demonstrate the importance of vaccination and suggest that seasonal influenza vaccines could be used as a first line of defense against an eventual pandemic caused by avian influenza viruses, to be followed immediately by the use of more specific pandemic vaccines.IMPORTANCEInfluenza A viruses (IAV) can infect and replicate in multiple mammalian and avian species. …”

带有反向螺纹的同轴变速单螺杆三维流场分析 "Three dimensional flow field analysis of coaxial variable speed single screw with reverse thread" by 左晓甜，郭树国，金子云 ZUO Xiaotian，GUO Shuguo，JIN Ziyun

“…Solid works software was used for modeling and ANSYS/CFX software was used to analyze the change of three dimensional flow field in the flow channel of the new coaxial variable-speed single-screw extruder, and to explore the shear and mixing of the material in its flow channel according to the change of pressure, velocity vector, and cross sectional velocity in the flow channel. The results showed that in the same external situation, the new screw pressure building capacity was weaker than the traditional screw, i.e., the extrusion efficiency of the new screw was lower. …”
