objective: bacillus cereus (b. cereus) is a gram-positive, spore-forming bacteria widely distributed in the environment. this bacteria is an opportunistic human pathogen that can cause diarrheal and emetic types of food poisoning. the diarrhea type of food poisoning can be caused by hemolysin bl (hbl), non-hemolytic (nhe), and cytotoxin k enterotoxins. rice is commonly contaminated with b. cere...

using uv-vis spectrophotometric method, the formation constant for interaction of fe2+(aq) ion with l-alaninewas experimentally studied at ph = 4.1 ± 0.01 (50mm of potassium hydrogen phthalate buffer), ionic strengthof 0.1m potassium nitrate and at 5 different temperatures 15,20, 25,30 and 35 t. the optical absorption spectraof mixtures containing considered cation and l-alanine were analyzed b...

in this commentary the findings from a systematic review that concluded there is no compelling evidence to suggest that implementing complicated, multi-faceted interventions is more effective than simple, single component interventions to changing healthcare professional’s behaviour are considered through the lens of harvey and kitson’s editorial. whilst an appealing conclusion, it is one that ...

the interaction between benzo-15-crown-5 (b15c5), dibenzo-18-crown-6 (db18c6), dibenzyl-daza-18crown-6 (dbzda18c6), n-phenyl-aza-15-crown-5 (npha15c5) and dibenzopyridine-18-crown-6 (dbpy18c6) with π-acceptor 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (ddq) in chloroform solution was studied spectrophotometrically. the interaction of b15c5-ddq and db18c6-ddq caused the formation of 1:1 charge transfe...

alumina nanomaterials were synthesized via a solution combustion technique using tris-(acetylacetonato) aluminum(iii) complex (1) and tris-(2-formylphenolate) aluminum(iii) complex (2) at 600, and 1000 °c for 3h. the obtained data showed that the procedure without using fuel resulted in a better phase and morphology. to investigate the phase formation, powder x-ray diffraction technique was use...

in this paper, we introduce the idea of generalized relative order (respectively generalized relative lower order) of entire functions of two complex variables. hence, we study some growth properties of entire functions of two complex variables on the basis of the definition of generalized relative order and generalized relative lower order of entire functions of two complex variables.

thermodynamic study on the interaction of β-cd with poly ethylene oxide and poly acrylic acid was performed by isothermal titration calorimetry at 298k. when β-cd is added to the interpolymer complex, competition is created between host-guest and hydrogen bond. enthalpy of interaction between the β-cd and interpolymer complex was calculated using the extended solvation theory. p=1 shows that wi...

nickel(ii) complex of [nil2](clo4)2, where l is an unsymmetrical tridentate ligand of 2-(2-aminoethyl)imino-3-butanone oximehas been synthesized by a template condensation reaction. the complex was characterized on the basis of microanalytical, spectroscopic, and other physicochemical properties. x-ray diffraction study of the complex reveals nickel(ii) center in a distorted octahedral environm...
