Gram staining for gonorrhea, non-gonococcal urethritis, pathogenesis and epidemiology of sexually transmitted chancroid, bacterial vaginosis infections (STIs) occurred with the use of various diagnostic 3. Tzanck smear for herpes genitalis, donovanosis, techniques many years ago.[1] However, the concept of molluscum contagiosum pr...

DOI: 10.21276/sjams.2017.5.9.58 Abstract: Cryptosporidium spp. is a 4-6 μm coccidian parasite causing mild to fulminant diarrhoea especially in immunocompromised persons. It remains largely under-diagnosed by using current routine diagnostic techniques in microbiology laboratories. The aim of our study was to compare four different diagnostic techniques for the detection of Cryptosporidium spp....

BACKGROUND Sporotrichosis caused by the dimorphic fungus Sporothrix schenckii can presents in a variety of clinical forms. Routine diagnosis is made by mycology and serology studies. Few investigations have been focused on the evaluation of the molecular diagnosis. AIM To determine the value of the nested PCR technique for the diagnosis of experimental sporotrichosis in organs of mice, and to...

Abstract The Curiosity rover is exploring Hesperian-aged stratigraphy in Gale crater, Mars, where a transition from clay-bearing units to layered sulfate-bearing unit has been interpreted represent major environmental of unknown character. We present the first description key facies unit, recently observed distance by rover, and propose model for changes depositional environments. Our results i...

Aim: To study the microbiological and epidemiological profile of patients with suppurative corneal ulcer presenting in a rural referral center situated Sub-Himalayan territory north India. The was conducted to evaluate epidemiology frequency mycotic keratitis among identify various fungal species as etiological agents.
 Methods: Corneal scrapings from 56 ulcers were subjected direct micros...

This paper discusses how a qualitative understanding on the physics of failure can lead to a theoretical derivation of effective features that are useful for condition monitoring of wet friction clutches. The physical relationships between the features and the mean coefficient of friction (COF) which can be seen as the representation of the degradation level of a wet friction clutch are theoret...

Aim of study: A March-June precipitation has been reconstructed for the period 1830-2015 using Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica Manetti) tree-ring records.
 Area forest Mount Takoucht (Béjaïa, northern Algeria).
 Material and methods: Seasonal correlations were computed in order to identify best year climate reconstruction. The temporal stability signal was checked split-sample calibrati...

The physical and mechanical parameters degradation mechanisms of red sandstone in the Mount Wuyi scenic area were studied under action dry–wet cycles. Dry–wet cycle, acoustic wave velocity, water saturation rate, triaxial compression tests conducted, aided by scanning electron microscopy X-ray diffraction testing techniques. study’s results show that cycle effect on is a major factor its micros...

the constitutive relationships of the rubber materials that act as the main spring of a hydraulic engine mount are nonlinear. in addition to material induced nonlinearity, further nonlinearities may be introduced by mount geometry, turbulent fluid behavior, temperature, boundary conditions, decoupler action, and hysteretic behavior. in this research all influence the behavior of the system only...
