چکیده

The procedure used to determine the infective titer of the LDH agent, the reproducibility of this assay, and the relationship between virus dose and plasma enzyme activity were described. Multiplication of the LDH agent began within 6 hours after infection and reached 10(10.8) ID(50)/ml of plasma within 24 hours. The titer rapidly decreased over the next 72 hours but viremia persisted for at least 16 months with titers as high as 10(5.2) ID(50)/ml. The appearance of the LDH agent in the circulation preceded the first noticeable rise in plasma LDH activity by close to 24 hours. After 10 months, when the plasma titer of the LDH agent had decreased nearly one millionfold, the plasma enzyme LDH had decreased by less than 50 per cent. The LDH agent is inactivated by ether but withstands lyophilization, and freezing and thawing. It is stable at low temperatures. Ultracentrifugation at 105,000 G for 2 hours leaves less than 0.1 per cent of the LDH agent in the supernatant fluid and filtration through gradocol membranes suggesst that the upper size of the LDH agent is about 55 mmicro. Spread of the LDH agent from infected to uninfected mice kept in the same cage and transmission from mothers (infected prior to mating) to their offspring was relatively low.

Comparison of Lactic Acid Isomers Produced by Fungal and Bacterial Strains

Many organisms produce lactic acid by fermentation, but most industrially important strains are from the genus Lactobacillus and Rhizopus oryzae. L(+)-Lactic acid is the only optical isomer for use in pharmaceutical and food industries because human body is only adapted to assimilate this form. In this research, six strains of Lactobacillus and four strains of R. oryzae (known as high producer)...

On the structural properties for the cross product of fuzzy numbers with applications

In the fuzzy arithmetic, the definitions of addition and multiplication of fuzzy numbers are based on Zadeh’s extension principle. From theoretical and practical points of view, this multiplication of fuzzy numbers owns several unnatural properties. Recently, to avoid this shortcoming, a new multiplicative operation of product type is introduced, the so-called cross-product of fuzzy numbers. Th...
