the pectic enzymes produced in vitro by 8 isolates (5 highly virulent and 3 weakly virulent) of fusarium oxysporum , were detected by spectrophotometry, and characterized by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with substrate-containing gels (zymogram). analysis of the polygalacturonase (pg) isozyme banding patterns (zymogram) identified two distinct phenotypes among the isolates from chickpea (c...

Introduction/Objective. The objective was to determine the degree of conversion (DC), cross-link density, percentage leachable monomers, flexural strength (FS), and hardness (HV) nanohybrid, nanofilled bulk-fill, giomer, fiber-reinforced, low-shrinkage composites. Methods. Standardized specimens (n = 5/group) Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill, Filtek Beautifil, EverX posterior, Kalore, Z250 (microhybri...

This paper extends the existing transmission and capacity analysis in order to investigate the broadband potential of overhead high-voltage/broadband over power lines (HV/BPL) connections where a single repeater is additively deployed between their existing transmitting and receiving ends (overhead HV/BPL connections with two-hop repeater system). The contribution of this paper is threefold. Fi...

CAEBV: Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection DM: Dermatomyositis EBV: Epstein-Barr virus HLA: Human leukocyte antigen HV: Hydroa vacciniforme INTRODUCTION Atypical hydroa vacciniforme (HV) is a rare vesiculopapular eruption reported mainly in patients from Asia and Latin America and presents with similar but more severe cutaneous manifestations than classic HV. In addition, systemic findi...

Hyperventilation (HV) is commonly used to extend breath-hold time by eliminating carbon dioxide to delay the hypercapnic stimulus to end breath-hold. The chief hazard is that loss of consciousness may result from hypoxia before the hypercapnic drive initiates a breathing cycle. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of oxygen inspiration to improve the safety of breath-holding te...

BACKGROUND Hallux valgus (HV) is highly prevalent and associated with progressive first metatarsophalangeal joint subluxation and osteoarthritis. The link between structural HV deformity and foot pain is unclear. This study investigated possible explanatory factors surrounding foot pain in HV, including radiographic HV angle and signs of joint degeneration. METHODS Participants were 60 adults...

BACKGROUND Klebsiella pneumoniae is a prominent nosocomial pathogen that accounts for up to 10 % of all hospital-acquired infections. It is a frequent cause of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of K. pneumoniae-associated VAP and the molecular characteristics of K. pneumoniae strains. METHODS We retrospectively rev...

Objectives Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are often observed in memory clinic patients. It has been generally accepted that deep CMBs (D-CMBs) result from hypertensive vasculopathy (HV), whereas strictly lobar CMBs (SL-CMBs) result from cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) which frequently coexists with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mixed CMBs (M-CMBs) have been partially attributed to HV and also partia...

Using the notion of “belongingness ($epsilon$)” and “quasi-coincidence (q)” of fuzzy points with fuzzy sets, we introduce the concept of an ($ alpha, beta$)- fuzzyHv-ideal of an Hv-ring, where , are any two of {$epsilon$, q,$epsilon$ $vee$ q, $epsilon$ $wedge$ q} with $ alpha$ $neq$ $epsilon$ $wedge$ q. Since the concept of ($epsilon$, $epsilon$ $vee$ q)-fuzzy Hv-ideals is an important and ...
