The concept of using gene transfer strategies for cartilage repair originates from the idea of transferring genes encoding therapeutic factors into the repair tissue, resulting in a temporarily and spatially defined delivery of therapeutic molecules to sites of cartilage damage. This review focuses on the potential benefits of using gene therapy approaches for the repair of articular cartilage ...

Antibiotics are widely used in human and veterinary medicine, they accumulated various types of waste, including sewage sludge (SS) cattle slurry (CS), processed by anaerobic digestion (AD). Anaerobic treatment is a method enabling the stabilization these substrates before transferring to environment. The presence contaminants, such as antimicrobials, organic AD not regulated law. accumulation ...

This paper discusses some of the necessary prerequisites for transferring speciication analysis and veriication techniques from VDM to Z. It starts by comparing Z and VDM in terms of the mathematical and speciication notations they use. It then explains the VDM approach to reasoning about speciications, as supported by the mural tool-set, and compares VDM's Logic of Partial Functions with Class...

background and objectives: isolation of xanthomonas campestris from soil has a wide range of applications from monitoring of phytopathogenic populations in soil to screening of improved xanthan-producing strains. identification of xanthomonas campestris and its pathovars requires pathogenicity tests in addition to phenotypic and molecular characterization. materials and methods: thirty phenotyp...
