In this study, degree of soil compaction and rutting caused on the skid road by rubber-tired tractor was investigated in northern pine plantation forest in Turkey. In research area, the cross sections were selected in every 20 meter along the skid road. Penetrometer measurements were made in each cross section. Also, the soil samples were collected to on the skid road and forest site. The rutti...

Cellulase production was evaluated in two reference strains (T. reesei Rut-C30 and T. reesei QM9414), two strains isolated from a sugarcane cultivation area (Trichoderma sp. IPT778 and T. harzianum rifai IPT821) and one strain isolated in a program for biodiversity preservation in São Paulo state (Myceliophthora thermophila M77). Solid state cultures were performed using sugarcane bagasse (C), ...

Given the role that sleep plays in modulating plasticity, we hypothesized that increasing sleep would restore memory to canonical memory mutants without specifically rescuing the causal molecular lesion. Sleep was increased using three independent strategies: activating the dorsal fan-shaped body, increasing the expression of Fatty acid binding protein (dFabp), or by administering the GABA-A ag...

The morphology of Trichoderma reesei is a vitally important factor for cellulase productivity. This study investigated the effect of hyphal morphology on cellulase production in the hyper-cellulolytic mutant, T. reesei DES-15. With a distinct morphology, T. reesei DES-15 was obtained through Diethyl sulfite (DES) mutagenesis. The hyphal morphology of DES-15 batch-cultured in a 5-L fermentor was...

Trichoderma reesei is a mesophilic, filamentous fungus, and it is a major industrial source of cellulases, but its lignocellulolytic protein expressions on lignocellulosic biomass are poorly explored at present. The extracellular proteins secreted by T. reesei QM6a wild-type and hypercellulolytic mutant Rut C30 grown on natural lignocellulosic biomasses were explored using a quantitative proteo...

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori are major etiological factor in the development of peptic ulcer disease. Aim and Objective: To fi nd out the association of H. pylori with gastric lesions in endoscopic biopsy specimen in semi-urban regions, and to study the specifi city and sensitivity of rapid urease test (RUT), to evaluate the usefulness of Giemsa stain in addition to histopathological exami...

The bacterial transcription terminator, Rho, terminates transcription at half of the operons. According to the classical model derived from in vitro assays on a few terminators, Rho is recruited to the transcription elongation complex (EC) by recognizing specific sites (rut) on the nascent RNA. Here, we explored the mode of in vivo recruitment process of Rho. We show that sequence specific reco...

A commonly used approach in long-run event-studies is the calendar time portfolio (CTP) approach developed by Jaffe (1974) and Mandelker (1974) and advocated by Fama (1998). For each calendar month we compute the return of an equally-weighted portfolio of companies that unionized in the last T months, where T is either 18 or 24 in our study. The return of this “unionization portfolio” is denote...

Transportation plays an important role in the development of a country. Due to increase population, demand for good transportation and passengers increased. For this purpose, new highways are built up every year. The material construction is increasing researchers race find out materials which not only used as replacer but also strength parameters decrease destresses Hot Mix Asphalt pavement. I...

Hot-in-place recycling of asphalt pavement is one the important regeneration technologies engineering, which apply to pavements with fewer diseases, excellent driving quality, slight rutting, and good structural strength. However, surface layer some road sections was aging, penetration index aged at 25°C lower than 20(0.1mm), does not meet recommended requirements criterion in China. In 2019, 3...
