A fundamental limiting factor in the assessment of microbial quality of waters, and especially drinking water, is often the very low number of each organism present. Therefore, it is important to note that most microbiological procedure consists of: concentration/enrichment, detection and quantification (Table 8.1). A consequence of this multi-step approach is that technological advancement of ...

Arsenic exists in the form of various chemical species differing in their physicochemical behaviour, toxicity, bioavailability and biotransformation. The determination of arsenic species is an important issue for environmental, clinical and food chemistry. However, differentiation of these species is a quite complex analytical task. Numerous speciation procedures have been studied that include ...

Usability plays very important role in fulfilling the quality requirements of a software system as it expresses the relationship between the software and its application domain. If the software system is usable then it is more productive, useful and thus it satisfies user’s expectations. Inspite of such importance of usability there are no explicit criteria to measure it because usability can b...

The tree of life is inherently fractal. Look closely at one lineage of a phylogeny and it dissolves into many separate lineages, and so on down to a very fine scale. There is now a great body of phylogenetic research that has provided numerous tools applicable at particular, usually fairly constrained, scales. These tools have left many phylogenetic questions unanswered. We think these question...
