conclusions our study demonstrated that the b1 gene, more so than the re gene, showed positive samples and can be used to detect toxoplasmosis, although the b1 gene, in comparison to the re gene, did not show any superiority of molecular diagnosing capability. results also showed that toxoplasma molecular detection methods can be used instead of routine serological detection methods in a clinic...

thinking simultaneously of humor and battlefield is hardly expectable; however, the most genuine jokes can be seen in this very battlefield verbal culture in a simple and sensitive form which has rarely been paid attention to. this witticism can be categorized into four classes; namely, devotional, fight and martyrdom, drinking and eating, and social interactions which have the most similitude ...

A shape recovery problem of book surface using two shade images under the fully perspective environments is discussed. In order to simplify the problem, the whole recovery process is divided into three sequential and explicit steps: preprocessing, apparent shape recovery, and generation of ortho-image. The separation of albedo and shading with reduced e ect of interre ections is done in preproc...

Ilhan Inan’s (2012) approach to curiosity is based on the following central theses: (i) for every question asked out of curiosity there is a corresponding term (defi nite description) that is inostensible for the asker (its reference is unknown) and that has the function of uniquely identifying an object; (ii) the satisfaction of curiosity is always in the form of coming to know an object as fa...

Background: The aim of this study was evaluation of developmental rate and Bax, Bcl-2 and ErbB4 genes expression following re-vitrification in compact and early blastocysts stages. Materials and Methods: 5-8 cell embryos were collected from female mature mice, 60-62 hours post hCG injection. The embryos were divided to five groups including: fresh, vitrified at 5-8 cells, vitrified at blastocys...

The study had the objective of analyzing the notion of vulnerability that is used by bioethics to debate research involving human beings today, from refl ections on biopolitics in contemporary culture. For this, the starting point was Giorgio Agamben’s reading of Foucault’s model of power (Sovereignty and Biopolitics), with the aim of subsequently analyzing the notion of bare life: “life withou...

Field-testing is an important topic in the validation of new infrastructure as well as in the assessment of obsolete and defi cient infrastructure. There is a need for accurate and inexpensive diagnostics methods that enable the prediction of the actual load carrying capacity of bridges through load testing. A major diffi culty in testing bridges is the measurement of vertical defl ections. The...
