salmonella enterica is recognized as one of the major food-borne pathogens with more than 2,500 serotypesworldwide. the present study addresses antimicrobial resistance of salmonella enterica serovar enteritidisisolates in iran. a collection of 151 salmonella spp. isolates collected from poultry were serotyped toidentify salmonella enteritidis. sixty-one salmonella enteritidis were subsequently...

bacillus sp. guf8, isolated from acidic soil samples of a tea farm was identified as bacillus cereus, based on 16s rdna sequencing and standard bacterial identification methods. following optimization of enzyme production, the resulting α-amylase was purified by acetone precipitation and ion exchange chromatography. consequently, thermostability and kinetic parameters of the purified enzyme wer...

Web information gathering surfers from the problems of information mismatching and overloading. In an attempt to solve these fundamental problems, many works have proposed to use concept-based techniques to perform personalized information gathering for Web users. These works have significantly improved the performance of Web information gathering systems. In this paper, a survey is conducted o...

This paper reflects our findings on the technological feasibility of a mobile service scenario. We will show that despite the scenario being quite ordinary for endusers, the required service support functionality is rather complex. The realisation hinges on intricate grounded contextual reasoning about location information, user profiles and other situational context information. In particular,...
