Natural antimicrobials as well as essential oils (EOs) have gained interest to inhibit pathogenic microorganisms and to control food borne diseases. Campylobacter spp. are one of the most common causative agents of gastroenteritis. In this study, cardamom, cumin, and dill weed EOs were evaluated for their antibacterial activities against Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli by using agar...

We read with interest the preliminary report by A. Billaud on omputer-assisted total hip replacement based on EOS imaging ata. As the authors state, hip navigation techniques have improved he reproducibility of implant positioning in hip replacement [1–3]. owever, navigation is at present founded on landmarking in the nterior pelvic plane, for which access in lateral decubitus is diffiult. The ...

The next generation of remote sensing observing systems will routinely provide multispectral data from a very large number of sensors. For example, the Landsat-type instrument of the planned Earth observing system (Eos) satellite will be the HIghResolution Imaging Spectrometer (HIRIS). The HIRIS will have 192 channels, compared to seven on the current Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM). Similarly, th...

A growing fleet of NASA, commercial, and foreign Earth observing satellites (EOS) uses a variety of sensing technologies for scientific, mapping, defense and commercial activities. Image collection for these satellites is planned and scheduled by a variety of software systems using many techniques. Scheduling EOS is complicated by a number of important constraints, including: power and thermal ...

We use Wetterich’s parameterization equation of state (EOS) of dark energy to a 5D Ricci-flat cosmological solution and we suppose the universe contains three major components: matter, radiation and dark energy. By using the relation between the scale factor and the redshift z, we show that the two arbitrary functions contained in the 5D solution could be solved out analytically in terms of the...

Abstract We propose an extended one-shot decorrelating detector (EOS-DD) for asynchronous DS/CDMA systems in frequency selective fading environments. The EOS-DD extends a processing window to several symbol duration. The received signal over an extended window is utilized for the decorrelator in the EOS-DD. The effects of the window size on BER performance are investigated by numerical analysis...

This paper tentatively presents a proposal to develop an Enterprise Operating System (EOS), with the focus on the requirements for potential standardisation. The proposed EOS will behave in the same way as an Operating System of the computer, but under enterprise context and system wide. At first some basic concepts and definitions will be given. Then an overview of relevant works relating to E...

The aim of this study was to investigate antibacterial effects of oregano and thyme essential oils (EOs) on some food-borne bacteria. GC-MS analysis of EOs was performed in order to determine their composition and phenols were predominant constituents. The investigation of the antibacterial effects of EOs was performed on Salmonella Enteritidis, Salmonella Thyphimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, m...

1] proposed to use the time-delay signal in Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) as a signature for the possible formation of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In particular, they suggested to measure the ratio of the transversal interferometry radii, R out /R side , which can be obtained by fitting experimental BEC data with a parametrization introduced by G. Bertsch...

Background: The resistance of the bacteria and fungi to the innumerous antimicrobial agents is a major challenge in the treatment of the infections demands to the necessity for searching and fi nding new sources of substances with antimicrobial properties. The incorporation of the essential oils (EOs) in chitosan fi lm forming solution may enhance antimicrobial properties. Howe...
