A 75-year-old male presented with abnormalities upon chest computed tomography (CT) scanning at a routine check. He had a 1.7-cm sized ground glass opacity (GGO) on the posterior segment of the right upper lung (RUL) and a 1.2-cmsized semisolid lung nodule on the left upper lung (LUL). To differentiate synchronous metastasis, sequential CT-guided core biopsy was performed for the GGO lesion on ...

Food packaging material is the primary element of food industry; therefore, its consideration to sustain quality and safety crucial. Several food-grade materials have been utilized for commodities a long time. Still, these negatively influence safety, shelf life, texture, quality, flavors commodities. Concurrently, biotechnology introduces various techniques produce several edible i.e. polysacc...

In recent years, industrial fermentation researchers have shifted their attention from liquid to solid and semisolid culture conditions. We converted liquid cultures to the semisolid mode by adding high levels of gelatin. Previous studies on liquid cultures have revealed the inhibitory activity of mineral salts, such as NaCl, on the fermentation of sugars by yeasts. We made a kinetic study of t...

Frameshift mutations in a poly(G) track at the flhB gene of Pseudomonas putida DOT-T1E are responsible for the diminished swimming of this strain on semisolid medium, which contrasts with the high swimming ability of P. putida KT2440, which does not exhibit a poly(G) track at the flhB gene. We previously showed that a mutant lacking FlhB was more sensitive to solvents than the wild-type strain ...

The growing demand for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with higher capacity in customized geometries underscores the need for new battery materials, architectures, and assembly strategies. Here, the design, fabrication, and electrochemical performance of fully 3D printed LIBs composed of thick semisolid electrodes that exhibit high areal capacity are reported. Specifically, semisolid ...

The tumorigenic potential of pre-B-cells at different stages of Abelson murine leukemia virus-induced transformation was determined. Cell lines with low growth potential in liquid culture were found (a) to have a dose-dependent growth requirement for conditioned medium obtained from bone marrow cultures, (b) to have low colony-forming ability in semisolid medium in the absence of conditioned me...

Semisolid culture systems have been developed which permit the proliferation of mousehemopoietic progenitor cells to form colonies of neutrophils and macrophages (1, 2), erythropoietic cells (3), eosinophils (4), and megakaryocytes (5) . These cloning systems have made it possible to analyse in detail many aspects of the nature and control of these hemopoietic populations . With a cloning syste...

Pure cultures of the spirochaetal causative agent of the disease known as Weil's disease, or febrile icterus, in Japan, have been obtained by us in a solid, a semisolid, and a fluid medium. The spirochaeta thus isolated remains pathogenic for guinea pigs for many generations. Up to the present time we have succeeded through the courtesy of Professor Nagayo, Dr. Konuma, and Dr. Ishihara, in cult...
