Abstract The surface of nano silica (NS) was modified by [3- (2-Aminoethyl) aminopropyl] trimethoxy silane (KH-792) to increase activity. Evaluate the efficiency grafting into NS characterized Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR) and Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). (m-NS) were dispersed epoxy resin Epon 1001X75 mechanical stirring ultrasonic vibration. Epoxy cured with Epikure 3125...

We surveyed 792 larval and 12,400 adult Coquillettidia perturbans for mermithid nematodes in 1990. Collections were made from cattail marshes in the greater Boston area. No mermithids were found in the adult mosquitoes, nor in larvae collected in mid-season, but 3 were found in larvae collected during September and October. This is only the second recorded occurrence of mermithids in Cq. pertur...

In an evaluation of the API 20NE for the identification of Burkholderia spp., 792/800 (99%) Burkholderia pseudomallei and 17/19 (89%) B. cepacia isolates were correctly identified but 10 B. mallei and 98 B. thailandensis isolates were not correctly identified. A latex agglutination test was positive for 796/800 (99.5%) B. pseudomallei isolates and negative for 120 other oxidase-positive gram-ne...

This perspective on Romero et al. (beginning on p. 792 in this issue of the journal) discusses the available animal models of ovarian cancer, including the laying hen, non-human primate, and transgenic rodent models, and their relevance to ovarian cancer chemoprevention studies.
