INTRODUCTION Because of increasing difficulty in treating enterococcal infections, effort is being devoted to understanding factors that are responsible for causing nosocomial infection, with a focus toward targeting these factors with new therapeutics. Evidence has emerged that the esp gene mediates biofilm formation in vitro, which helps the organism colonize and cause infection. METHODOLOG...

The novel electrohydrodynamically-assisted electrostatic precipitator (EHD ESP) was developed to suppress particle reentrainment for collection of low resistive diesel particulates. The collection efficiency was compared between vertically and horizontally oriented electrodes of the EHD ESP using 400 cc diesel engine. The particle size dependent collection efficiency was evaluated for the parti...

Enterococci rank among leading cause of nosocomial bacteremia and urinary tract infection in hospital and community acquired infections. Several traits that may contribute to enhanced virulence have been identified in Enterococci. Extracellular surface protein (Esp) is a virulence factor that contributes in biofilm formation and resistance to environmental stresses. In this study we aimed to de...

A procedure to derive the electrostatic potential (ESP) for dynamic charge densities obtained from structure models or maximum-entropy densities is introduced. The ESP essentially is obtained by inverse Fourier transform of the dynamic structure factors of the total charge density corresponding to the independent atom model, the multipole model or maximum-entropy densities, employing dedicated ...

the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow in a relatively wide electrostatic precipitator (ESP) (width:height = 2) is 2-or 3-dimensional (3D). The previous our measurements of 3D time-averaged flow velocity fields suggested that the flow in the ESP duct centre is almost 2-dimensional. In this paper we present both the 3D instantaneous and time-averaged flow velocity fields in a relatively wide ESP (wi...

هدف: امروزه کارگروهی در مؤسسات آموزش عالی به‌عنوان یکی از بهترین راهبردها برای تعامل و مشارکت دانشجویان فرایند یادگیری هم‌چنین کمک به رشد مهارت‌های ارتباطی آن‌ها محسوب می‌شود. درحالی‌ که شناسایی مزایای می‌تواند درک مثبتی را بین اساتید ایجاد کند، عواملی باعث عدم شکل‌گیری تمایل اندک انجام نظام دانشگاهی می‌شود، نیز مزایا تأثیرات مثبت آن بکاهد؛ بنابراین، هدف این پژوهش چالش‌های مرتبط با بود.مواد روش...

Fascioliasis is an endemic disease in Iran and triclabendazole (TCBZ) is using for treatment of domestic animals and infected people. Excretory-secretory products (ESP) play an important role in the host biochemical defense by means of activities of detoxifying and antioxidant glutathione S-transferase (GST) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes respectively. Therefore, the aim of this compara...
