IntroductionSpores of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis (B.subtilis) have been shown to carry a number of properties potentially beneficial for vaccination.Firstly, as vehicles enabling mucosal delivery of heterologous antigens and secondly, as stimulators of innate immunity.Here, we have examined the specificity of protection conferred by the spore-
This study evaluated the ability of Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma koningii to improve the quality of tea dregs (TDs) through solid-state fermentation as well as the value of the fermented tea dregs (FTDs) produced for use as bio-feed additives.After fermentation, FTDs differed in color and structure.Fermentation with A.niger and T.koningii incr
Generalizing the electroencephalogram (EEG) decoding methods to unseen subjects is an important research direction for realizing practical application of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).Since distribution shifts across subjects, the performance of most current deep neural networks for decoding EEG signals degrades when dealing with unseen subjects
The article discusses the phenomenon of the modern graffiti in terms of subculture and vandalism.We denote the boundary between the concepts of vandalism in cultural and legal discourse.Study of scientific sources and method of participant observation allowed us to offer our own definition of graffiti.Particular attention here is paid to the psycho
