A commercial Bacillus anthracis (Anthrax) whole genome protein microarray has been used to identify immunogenic Anthrax proteins (IAP) using sera from groups of donors with (a) confirmed B. anthracis naturally acquired cutaneous infection, (b) confirmed B. anthracis intravenous drug use-acquired infection, (c) occupational exposure in a wool-sorters factory, (d) humans and rabbits vaccinated wi...

ABSTRAKRumah Sakit Umum Daerah X merupakan rumah sakit dan rujukan terbesar bagi pasien Covid-19 di salah satu Provinsi Indonesia. Wabah yang terjadi sejak tahun 2020 telah menyebabkan peningkatan jumlah ke Rumah X. Meningkatnya limbah dihasilkan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah merumuskan strategi pengelolaan sampah RSUD menjadi Covid-19. Kajian dilakukan dengan mengumpulkan data sekunder berupa ...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Although exposure to audible noise has been examined in many publications, the sources of infrasound in agriculture have not been fully examined and presented. The study presents the assessment of exposure to infrasound from many sources at workplaces in agriculture with examples of possible ergonomic and health consequences caused by such exposure. MATERIALS AND M...

Background: Although AI practices have been introduced little over 60 years, the success rate remains relatively low. This might be due to the exclusive selection of semen based on motility analysis. Recent advancement in sperm sexing using flow cytometry with an increased throughput from next generation cell sorters, made use of this technology in studding sperm qualitative aspects other than ...

BACKGROUND Cell sorting of viable biological specimens has become very prevalent in laboratories involved in basic and clinical research. As these samples can contain infectious agents, precautions to protect instrument operators and the environment from hazards arising from the use of sorters are paramount. To this end the International Society of Analytical Cytology (ISAC) took a lead in esta...

A zero-one sequence x1, . . . , xn is k-tonic if the number of i’s such that xi 6= xi+1 is at most k. The notion generalizes well-known bitonic sequences. In negation-limited complexity, one considers circuits with a limited number of NOT gates, being motivated by the gap in our understanding of monotone versus general circuit complexity, and hoping to better understand the power of NOT gates. ...

Fiedler '̂̂ showed that experienced therapists of different schools agreed more highly with each other than with non-experts of their own schools concerning the nature of the ideal psychotherapeutic relationship. However, Fiedler's concept of experience pertained only to time spent with patients in a therapeutic relationship or as an actual subject of therapy. He did not take into consideration t...

tems on chips (SOCs) are outpacing the capabilities of design tools and methodologies, resulting in long, expensive design and verification cycles. One way to reduce this complexity is to rapidly compose these systems with predesigned, pretested functional cores available in VHDL libraries.1 Thus, SOCs consist of a few cores that represent complex functions such as filters, sorters, and other p...

Dielectrophoresis (DEP), a nonlinear electrokinetic transport mechanism, can be used to concentrate and sort cells, viruses, and particles. To date, microfabricated DEP-based devices have typically used embedded metal electrodes to apply spatially nonuniform, time-varying (AC) electric fields. We have developed an alternative method in which arrays of insulating posts in a channel of a microchi...

Karakul sheep breed has a lot to offer to livestock production in many parts of Botswana. This breed of sheep is acclimatised to desert conditions, which prevail in most parts of Botswana. This breed produces a range of products viz meat, milk, fur/pelt and wool, allowing for diversification of farm produce hence reduced risks attached to the production of a single product. The Karakul breed ha...
