Antibacterial activity of crude extracts of culinary spices like Aniseed (Pimpinella anisum), Star anise (Illicum verum Hook fruit) and Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) against some of the common fish bacterial pathogens like Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas salmonicida and Edwardsiella tarda were explored by finding minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). A twofold serial dilution of compounds ...

The apical hook of tomato seedlings is exaggerated by phytochrome actions, while in other species such as bean, pea and Arabidopsis, the hook is exaggerated by ethylene and opens by phytochrome actions. The present study was aimed to clarify mainly whether ethylene is responsible for the phytochrome-mediated hook exaggeration of tomato seedlings. Dark-grown 5-day-old seedlings were subjected to...

Thedistribution of aggregates in the cross-section drum, case equipment used for production asphalt mixtures, essentially influences performance rotary dryers. In research carried out this article, optimization distribution particles active region drum was pursued by modifying geometric shape flights, taking into account at same time influence technological parameters operation such as rotation...

Very often in Electrical Bioimpedance (EBI) spectroscopy measurements the presence of stray capacitances creates a measurement artefact commonly known as Hook Effect. Such an artefact creates a hook-alike deviation of the EBI data noticeable when representing the measurement on the impedance plane. Such Hook Effect is noticeable at high frequencies but it also causes a data deviation at lower m...

The axial proteins of the bacterial flagellum function as a drive shaft, universal joint, and propeller driven by the flagellar rotary motor; they also form the putative protein export channel. The N- and C-terminal sequences of the eight axial proteins were predicted to form interlocking alpha-domains generating an axial tube. We report on an approximately 1-nm resolution map of the hook from ...

Internal fixation of intracapsular hip fractures results in a high failure rate with non-union and avascular necrosis being the two most important complications. In order to prevent these possible complications treatment should consist of an anatomical reduction and stable fixation by insertion of a low volume, dynamic implant, providing angular and rotational stability to the femoral head. Acc...
