Two members of the Bacteroides fragilis group, B. ovatus and B. thetaiotaomicron, are difficult to distinguish by biochemical methods. They are currently identified on the basis of their variable ability to ferment salicin. We studied a method of identification for these two species by using cell lysis by bacteriophages. A total of 38 bacteriophages were used to distinguish the two species. Ide...

With the advent of second-generation sequencing (SGS) technologies, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing machines have started to produce reads, named as “longer short reads”, which are much longer than previous generation reads, the so called “short reads”. Unfortunately, most of the existing read aligners do not scale well for those second-generation longer short reads. Moreover, many of th...

Background and objectives: Plants of genus Clinopodium have been used in different cultures as traditional medicines.Due to theimportance of medicinal properties of the genus Clinopodium, C. umbrosum was selected for phytochemical analysis along with evaluation of its antioxidant property. Methods: The aerial parts of C. umbrosum<...

In this paper, we prove that the Strong Novikov Conjecture for a residually finite group is essentially equivalent to the Coarse Geometric Novikov Conjecture for a certain metric space associated to the group. As an application, we obtain the Coarse Geometric Novikov Conjecture for a large class of sequences of expanders.

We construct several geometric representatives for the C/Zm fractional branes on either a partially or the completely resolved orbifold. In the process we use large radius and conifold-type monodromies, and provide a strong consistency check. In particular, for C/Z5 we give three different sets of geometric representatives. We also find the explicit Seiberg-duality, in the Berenstein-Douglas se...

The concepts of (∈γ ,∈γ ∨ qδ)-fuzzy h-ideals and (∈γ ,∈γ ∨ qδ)-fuzzy hinterior ideals in hemirings are introduced. Some new characterization theorems of these kinds of fuzzy h-ideals are also given. In particular, we investigate prime and strong prime (∈γ ,∈γ ∨ qδ)-fuzzy h-ideals in hemirings. Finally, we show that the h-hemiregular and h-semisimple hemirings can be described by using these kin...

One can mention the importance of the other 13 group elements (triel elements), aluminium, gallium, indium and thallium. For example, aluminium is the second-most used metal after steel, largely because it is so versatile while nearly all gallium is used today in electronics. Numerous advantageous properties of triel elements are a consequence of the acidity of their compounds – the triel centr...

B??, aged 18, the wife of a Bengalee gentleman, swallowed about half an ounce of strong oil of vitriol at 11-45 a. m. of 6th February, 1868. She had taken no food since 8 p.m. on the previous evening. Immediately after swallowing the poison she felt a severe burning pain extending from the mouth, down the throat into the stoiuaoh, quickly followed by copious vomiting ; the ejected matter consis...
