A marked enhancement in the production of cell-bound phytase in Pichia anomala was achieved in cyclic fed batch fermentation (47333 UL -1 ) in comparison with that in batch (11569 UL -1 ) and fixed volume fed batch (36911 UL -1 ) fermentations in cane molasses medium. Phytase productivity was sustainable in cyclic fed batch fermentation over seven days, and therefore, this mode of fed batch fer...

Despite very advanced research and technology development in the medical field, malpractice and iatrogenic complications are still frequent in the health system. A main cause for medical errors is the human error. A simple and efficient tool in reducing medical complications is the briefing. The briefing is a succinct session of instructions for the medical staff on how to accomplish a given pr...

In our previous analysis of nucleon-nucleon (NN) elastic scattering data [1], the upper energy limit was extended from 2.5 to 3.0 GeV in the laboratory kinetic energy, Tp, in order to accomodate higher-energy proton-proton (pp) scattering measurements from SATURNE II at Saclay and the EDDA Collaboration at COSY. Comparisons were made with the direct amplitude reconstruction (DAR) and partial-wa...

Ein wichtiger Baustein des neu entdeckten World Wide Web – des ”Web 2.0“ – stellen Folksonomies dar. In diesen Systemen können Benutzer gemeinsam Ressourcen verwalten und mit Schlagwörtern versehen. Die dadurch entstehenden begrifflichen Strukturen stellen ein interessantes Forschungsfeld dar. Dieser Artikel untersucht Ansätze und Wege zur Entdeckung und Strukturierung von Nutzergruppen (”Commu...

OBJECTIVES To follow up renal function changes in patients with obstructive nephropathy and to evaluate the predictive value of biomarker panel in renal prognosis. METHODS A total of 108 patients with obstructive nephropathy were enrolled in the study; 90 patients completed the follow-up. At multiple time points before and after obstruction resolution, urinary samples were prospectively colle...

In this study, in-situ bulk polymerization was investigated for obtaining flame retardant polystyrene (PS). The halogenated and phosphoric compounds were used as flame retardant additives and Perkadox 30 was used as a synergist. The flammability of the PS was evaluated by thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), limiting oxygen index (LOI) and UL-94 tests. The results show that polymerization process ...

This study aimed to investigate possible asymmetries and relationships between performance of dominant and non-dominant upper limbs (UL) in patients with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD/BMD), to compare UL performance of patients and healthy subjects and to investigate the relationship between timed performance of UL and age, motor function and muscle strength in DMD/BMD patients....
