the effects of two iranian medicinal plants including zataria multiflora and geranium pelargoniumwere evaluated on growth-inhibiting of some toxigenic fungi such as aspergillus flavus, a. parasiticus, a.ochraceus and fusarium verticillioides. in this study, standard z. multiflora and g. pelargonium essentialoils (eos) were diluted in 0.01% dimethyl sulfoxide. different dilutions of z. multiflor...

background essential oils (eos) possess antibacterial properties and represent a natural source to treat infections and prevent food spoilage. their chemical composition might be affected by the environmental condition and the developmental growth stages of the plant. objectives the current study aimed to determine the variations in chemical compositions and antimicrobial activities of the eos ...

We constructed several sequences of classical Cepheid envelope models at solar chemical composition (Y = 0.28, Z = 0.02) to investigate the dependence of the pulsation properties predicted by linear and nonlinear hydrodynamical models on input physics. To study the dependence on the equation of state (EOS) we performed several numerical experiments by using the simplified analytical EOS origina...

background: this study aimed at investigation of the chemical composition, antimicrobial activity, and antioxidant properties of clove, cumin, origanum, and anise essential oils (eos). methods: chemical compositions of the eos were identified using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (gc/ms). the antibacterial activities of eos against four important food-borne bacteria were assessed by disc d...

Commercial Sex Workers (CSW) is one type of professions with social construction experiencing bad and full stigma to be categorized as the dregs society. Amount CSW in Indonesia was 56 thousand Riau Province, it’s 2.865 them. For Jondul area, 36 CSW. The commercial sex workers are most vulnerable groups people from many sides. They spread various diseases, such HIV - AIDS, which a deadly diseas...

BACKGROUND We compared demographic and clinical characteristics of early-onset sepsis (EOS) and community-acquired late onset sepsis (CA-LOS) in infants. METHODS Our medical center is the sole hospital in southern-Israel, enabling incidence calculations. EOS (<7 days) and CA-LOS (7-90 days) episodes recorded between 2007 and 2013 were reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were perfor...

Abstract The regulation of water companies (WCs) is essential to protect the interests citizens, as are natural monopolies. Consequently, several methodological approaches applied by regulators benchmark performance WCs, with data envelopment analysis (DEA) being one most widely applied. However, traditional DEA models allocate different weights variables considered in efficiency assessments ea...

Kon K, Rai M. 2012. Antibacterial activity of Thymus vulgaris essential oil alone and in combination with other essential oils. Nusantara Bioscience 4: 50-56. Essential oils (EOs) from plants represent an alternative approach in combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria. One of the EOs with proven antibacterial properties is Thymus vulgaris EO. The purpose of the present work was to investigate i...

The equation of state (EOS) of a Fermi superfluid is investigated in the BCS-BEC crossover at zero temperature. We discuss the EOS based on Monte-Carlo (MC) data and asymptotic expansions and the EOS derived from the extended BCS (EBCS) mean-field theory. Then we introduce a time-dependent density functional, based on the bulk EOS and Landau’s superfluid hydrodynamics with a von Weizsäcker-type...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a voluntary protocol for selective intrapartum chemoprophylaxis on the incidence of early onset group B streptococcal sepsis (GBS EOS). METHODS Cases of GBS EOS were defined as a positive GBS culture from a normally sterile fluid obtained during the first 7 days of life. All cases of GBS EOS at an urban, university-affiliated commu...
