INTRODUCTION: This study evaluated the susceptibilities of oral candidiasis-derived Candida albicans, fluconazole-resistant (FR) Candida dubliniensis, and fluconazole-susceptible (FS) C. dubliniensis to synthetic antiseptics [chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), and triclosan (TRC)] and natural compounds (carvacrol, eugenol and thymol). METHODS: Susceptibility tests ...

Various aspects associated with the use of the TRC-QSPR method (Shacham et al., Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 49, 900-912, 2010, Ref. [1]) for the prediction of vapor pressure are investigated using a test set of 12 compounds from the nalkane series. This test set is used to check the consistency of the parameter values of the Wagner and Riedel equations and the resulting vapor pressure values in the fu...

This paper proposes and compares different methods of representing the primary color tone reproduction curves (TRC) for the stabilization control in a color xerographic printing process. TRC stabilization is vital in maintaining high consistency in color printout. Colors are typically represented by a 3-dimensional representation such as the CIELAB or CIEXYZ colorspaces. For stabilization contr...

Post-secondary institutions have a critical role to play in addressing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Calls Action through indigenization strategies (TRC, 2015) but, date, it has proven challenging. In this study, research lens was expanded focus on First Nations-affiliated post-secondary institutions, since these come closest providing authentic approaches indigenization. The pu...

This paper analyses the participation of women as primary providers, users and managers water, sanitation hygiene (WASH) at household level in Tongogara Refugee Camp (TRC), Zimbabwe. The study argues that is essential for success WASH projects programme sustainability, but patriarchal nature has left most periphery planning process. Informed by a feminist political ecology (FPE) approach, utili...

We studied the formation of d(A-T)n cruciforms in E.coli cells by probing intracellular plasmid DNA with chloroacetaldehyde followed by fine analysis of modified DNA bases. d(A-T)16 sequences were inserted into specifically designed plasmids either upstream of a single trc promoter, or between two divergent trc promoters. We found that in both cases, induction of transcription by IPTG leads to ...

Opportunism is present in professional services and, as a result, organizations adopt mechanisms to constrain it. Despite the work on constraining opportunistic consultants, researchers have generally ignored the potential impact of national culture on the efficacy of constraint mechanisms. Using the theory of relationship constraints (TRC), this study examines the effectiveness of different co...

* This work was partly supported by the Norwegian Research Council, and was done while the author was at Nordic VLSI, Trondheim. Abstract This paper presents a simulation model of the Torus Routing Chip (TRC) written in Verilog. The model represents the functional behaviour of the routing chip down to the flit (byte) level. The TRCs are self-timed and interconnected in a 4 by 4 torus (mesh with...
