background beta-lactam resistance in gram-negative bacteria, especially escherichia coli, is a main clinical problem. it is often caused by the co-production of β-lactamases, particularly extended-spectrum β-lactamases (esbls) and ampc enzymes. it may lead to a problem for diagnosis via recommended phenotypic tests by the clinical and laboratory standards institute (clsi). conversely, β-lactama...

this paper is mainly focused on noise pollution problems related to the use of wind turbines. the installed turbines are vestas v52 and the farm map under study is a typical rural area in south italy, in which a wind farm has been recently installed and made operative. since the area is rural and the number of vehicles per hour is negligible, noise emitted by roads does not affect the predictio...

abstract background: pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common gram negative bacteria involved in nosocomial infections. presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (esbls) genes, play an important role in induction of resistance in beta-lactamase producing species to beta lactam antibiotics. frequency of resistance to these antibiotics is increasing. in this study, antibiotic sensitiv...

let $g$ be a finite group and let $gk(g)$ be the prime graph of $g$. we assume that $ngeqslant 5 $ is an odd number. in this paper, we show that the simple groups $b_n(3)$ and $c_n(3)$ are 2-recognizable by their prime graphs. as consequences of the result, the characterizability of the groups $b_n(3)$ and $c_n(3)$ by their spectra and by the set of orders of maximal abelian subgroups are obtai...

the effect of mixing on rheological behavior of 6% wt epoxy-clay nanocomposites was studied. the mixing processes were carried out by low shear mixer, homogenizer and ultrasonic and combination of different mixing techniques at medium and maximum power. all these methods led to intercalated structure. the xrd results showed that the ultrasonic has the best effect on dispersion while a low shear...

the recent literatures indicate that central nervous system (cns) is highly vulnerable to systemic hyperthermia induced by whole body heating on conscious animals. in the present study, cerebral electrical activity or eeg (electroencephalogram) following exposure to high environmental heat has been studied in moving rats. rats were divided into three group (i) acute heat stress-subjected to a s...

purpose: comparison of the results of visual evoked potential (vep) in time domain and frequency domain between multiple sclerosis (ms) suspected patients and normal indivisuals. method: eleven ms suspected patients with normal visual findings and 20 normal individuals were tested by vep. results were compared between two groups. results: the time domain results showed no significant difference...

background and objective: background: the present study investigates the relationship between attention deficit hyperactive disorder (adhd) and the severity of symptoms in children with autistic spectrum disorder. methods: the study was conducted on 80 patients with autistic spectrum disorder visiting child psychiatric clinic of tehran psychiatric institute. the severity of autistic symptoms wa...
