Bacteria or their products have repeatedly been reported to have a beneficial effect on human neo plastic disease (@l, 7, 192).The earlier work has been reviewed by Shear (8), Shwartzman (9), and Andervont (1). Since then, many additional ob servations on tumor inhibition or regression asso ciated with naturally occurring or artificially in duced infections have been reported (4). Despite the e...

Today’s cellular technologies allow users to access the Internet in a car or on a high-speed train, albeit the access bandwidth is far lower than that through a typical wired access technology such as Ethernet. Numerous new applications and services are under development for users of wireless technologies. Locationbased services (e.g, GPS navigation) and streaming media services are just two ex...

background: in recent years, dietary fat supplementation has become a common practice and fat supplemented diets have had variable effects on animal performance and carcass characteristics. objectives: this study was conducted to determine the effect of  increasing the levels of sesame oil on performance, rumen parameters and plasma lipid profile in finishing chal lambs. methods: eighteen male ...

background: caprine besnoitiosis is an economically important disease of goats. neospora caninum, another coccidian parasite of worldwide distribution, infects several animal species and is a major cause of abortion in cattle . combined infections of n. caninum and besnoitia caprae can occur in geo-graphical areas endemic for both species of parasite in goats. this experiment was conducted to i...

ever-increasing advances in the field of bioethics have been encouraged by recent developments of biomedical technolo-gies. stem cell research and therapy are among the most promising approaches in medicine of which are raised some ethical chal¬lenges. likewise, the therapeutic potential of stem cell-based therapies created new policy concerns for health care sys¬tems, particularly the issue of...

Nowadays, in a competitive and dynamic environment of businesses, organizations need to moni-tor, analyze and improve business processes with the use of Business Process Management Systems(BPMSs). Management, prediction and time control of events in BPMS is one of the major chal-lenges of this area of research that has attracted lots of researchers. In this paper, we present a...

Bitcoin and blockchain technologies have proven to be a phenomenal success. Œe un-derlying techniques hold huge promise to change the future of €nancial transactions, andeventually the way people and companies compute, collaborate, and interact. At the sametime, the current Bitcoin-like proof-of-work based blockchain systems are facing many chal-lenges. For example, a huge amoun...

defects opposite to those of lin-4(e912). Precisely the These opposite developmental timing defects of lin-4 Harvard Medical School and lin-14 mutants, and the fact that loss of lin-14 is Department of Molecular Biology epistatic to lin-4(e912), suggested that the lin-4(e912) Massachusetts General Hospital mutation resulted in an excess of lin-14 activity. So lin-4 Boston, Massachusetts 02114 m...

Neuron models, in particular conductance-basedcompartmental models, often have numerous parameters thatcannot be directly determined experimentally and must beconstrained by an optimization procedure. A common prac-tice in evaluating the utility of such procedures is using apreviously developed model to generate surrogate data (e.g.,traces of spikes following step curren...

Food fortifi cation with synthetic folic acid (pteroyl monoglutamic acid) remains a source of debate in terms of benefi t versus issues of safety and consumer choice. Several countries have adopted mandatory folic acid fortifi cation. A decision to proceed in Australasia was made in June, 2007. We report the case of a woman who had three episodes of type I hypersensitivity, including ana phylax...
