Our results generalize some interesting results of Ilić et al. (Appl. ...

Ternary compound Ti3SiC2 was successfully synthesized by pulse discharge sintering (PDS) for Ti/Si/TiC powder mixtures with different molar ratios, where coarse Ti powder ( 0:15mm) was used. When the molar ratio of Ti:Si:TiC was selected to be 2:2:3, the content of Ti3SiC2 reached 97.8% and density reached 99.0% after sintering at 1450 C for 20min under 50MPa load. The Ti-Si liquid reaction occ...

Mean pulse profiles and polarization properties are presented for nine southern pulsars. The observations were made using the Parkes radio telescope at frequencies near 1330 MHz; three of the nine pulsars were also observed at 660 MHz. A very high degree of circular polarization was observed in PSR J1603−7202. Complex position angle variations which are not well described by the rotating-vector...

INTRODUCTION No cases of human brucellosis caused by Brucella suis has been reported in Spain. METHODS This study involved interviews with the case and his co-workers, inspection of their workplace, checking infection control measures, and typing the Brucella strain isolated in the blood culture. RESULTS Brucella suis biovar 1 strain 1330 was isolated from a patient who worked in a waste tr...

Complementation for virulence of a non-polar virB5 mutant in Brucella suis 1330 was not possible using a pBBR-based plasmid but was with low copy vector pGL10. Presence of the pBBR-based replicon in wildtype B. suis had a dominant negative effect, leading to complete attenuation in J774 macrophages. This was due to pleiotropic effects on VirB protein expression due to multiple copies of the vir...

Amaranthus palmeri is a troublesome weed which growing in importance worldwide. It causes serious competition many crops. A. was introduced into Turkey 4–5 years ago and appears to adapt different environmental conditions. Monoculture cropping systems repeated use of the same herbicides have led development herbicide resistance several active ingredients including glyphosate, USA South America....

The circadian rhythms of most night shift workers do not adapt fully to the imposed behavioural schedule, and this factor is considered to be responsible for many of the reported health problems. One way in which such disturbances might be mediated is through inappropriate hormonal and metabolic responses to meals, on the night shift. Twelve healthy subjects (four males and eight females) were ...

Original scientific paper In assuring the security in information technology, user awareness and acquired-user habits are inevitable components, yet they may be qualified as the feeblest ones. As the information technology tries to put its best in providing maximum security, user awareness plays a key-role. Additionally, although the literature provides studies on approaches for teaching inform...

Original scientific paper Strategic planning which focuses on transport is based fundamentally on adjusting to changes in the operational environment. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis is a commonly used tool for analyzing both the internal and external environments in order to attain a systematic approach and support for a decision-making situation. In this study...
