Interaction of seawater microorganisms with scalants and antiscalants in reverse osmosis systems
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
In this research, the interactions of seawater microorganisms with scalants (minerals like calcium sulfate) and antiscalants in the reverse osmosis (RO) systems were investigated. The interaction of seawater microorganisms ...
Differential distribution of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene variants and its expression in systemic lupus erythematosus
(
Wiley
, 2022 , Article)
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multifactorial autoimmune disorder that displays an important genetic background. Vitamin D3 (VD3) through its receptor (VDR) plays an important immunomodulatory role in autoimmune ...
