Chronic bacteriuria is a common occurrence among spinal-cord injury patients and others with neuropathic bladders. If bacteria are present in the urinary tract, the patient may develop symptoms of infection or remain asymptomatic. We have compared virulence properties of 28 Escherichia coli isolates from patients with symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTI) and 29 E. coli isolates from patie...

Data replication is a common method used to improve the performance of data access in distributed systems. In this paper, two dynamic replication algorithms, Simple Bottom-Up (SBU) and Aggregate Bottom-Up (ABU), are proposed for the multitier Data Grid. A multi-tier Data Grid simulator called DRepSim is developed for studying the performances of the dynamic replication algorithms. The simulatio...

We developed a HPLC/MS method for the identification and determination of solanine in plants. This method was applied for samples of Solanum dulcamara (from Iaşi and Vânători Neamţ areas in Romania) and Physalis alkekengi (from Bucium and Breazu, Iaşi, Romania) during August-September 2009. Isolation of solanine was performed by extraction with a mixture consisting of water/methanol/acetic acid...

PURPOSE The aim of this work was to implement, validate, and compare two procedures for routine image quality (IQ) assurance in dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT): 1. the German standard DIN 6868 - 161 introduced in 2013 and 2. the established standard IEC 61,223 - 3-5 for clinical CT x-ray equipment referenced as "DIN" and "IEC" below. MATERIALS AND METHODS The approximated in-plane...
