2. Human cytomegalovirus and dendritic cell interaction : role in immunosupression and autoimmunity
Abstract : Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with an impaired immune system. The virus itself can cause transitory but significant immunosuppression in immunocompetent as well as immunocompromised infected individuals. READ MORE

5. Modeling of post-combustion carbon capture in power plants and process industries - partial capture and load following conditions
Abstract : Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is recognized as a potent technology for the mitigation of global warming, since it can significantly reduce CO2 emission from large point source emitters. Post-combustion CO2 capture using chemical absorption is a versatile end-of-pipe technology that can be implemented at all point sources of CO2, such as a power production facility or industrial plant.
