The effect of temperature as a possible factor on the survival of Trichomonas vaginalis for shipment or routine laboratory maintenance was studied. Ten strains of T. vaginalis, ATCC 30001, ATCC 30238, and eight clinical isolates, were examined for viability when kept incubated at 37 degrees C or removed from this temperature and held at 42, 22, or 5 degrees C for increasing lengths of time with...

The growth of uninjured and heat-injured Aeromonas hydrophila incubated at 5 degrees C (22 days) and 30 degrees C (31 h) under air, N2, and CO2 was investigated. At 30 degrees C, the growth patterns of cells on brain heart infusion agar incubated under air and N2 were similar, although slight differences in the lengths of the lag phases and the final populations were detected. The lag phases of...

Abstract Is a human more conscious than an octopus? In the science of consciousness, it's oftentimes assumed that some creatures (or mental states) are others. But in recent years, number philosophers have argued notion degrees consciousness is conceptually confused. This paper (1) argues most prominent objections to unsustainable, (2) examines semantics ‘more than’ expressions, (3) develops an...

Nairobi, Kenya exhibits a wide variety of micro-climates and heterogeneous surfaces. Paved roads and high-rise buildings interspersed with low vegetation typify the central business district, while large neighborhoods of informal settlements or "slums" are characterized by dense, tin housing, little vegetation, and limited access to public utilities and services. To investigate how heat varies ...

Over the past few years, aquatic cycling has become a trending fitness activity. However, the literature has not been reviewed exhaustively. Therefore, using scoping review methodology, the aim of this review was to explore the current state of the literature concerning aquatic cycling. This study specifically focused on study designs, populations and outcomes. A comprehensive search of seven d...

In vivo room temperature chlorophyll a fluorescence coupled with CO(2) and O(2) exchange was measured to determine photosynthetic limitation(s) for spring and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown at cold-hardening temperatures (5 degrees C/5 degrees C, day/night). Plants of comparable physiological stage, but grown at nonhardening temperatures (20 degrees C/16 degrees C, day/night) were us...
