The aim of this study was to enumerate the bacterial population isolated from environmental surfaces in child-care centres Omoku and Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Four Nigeria were selected for samples different (Table, play mat, toilet seat, feeding area, diaper changing toys, window door handle surfaces) using sterile swab sticks moistened with peptone water. Aliquots 0.1 ml 103 dilutions inoculate...

BACKGROUND Prechemotherapy absolute neutrophil count (ANC) cutoffs are arbitrary and vary across institutions and clinicians. Similarly, subjective guidelines are utilized for the administration of prophylactic antibiotics in neutropenic dogs. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of various ANC cutoffs on chemotherapy administration in dogs with lymphoma treated with CHOP chemotherapy and to det...

ABSTRACT Despite their large impact on stellar and galactic evolution, the properties of outflows from red supergiants are not well characterized. We used Onsala 20m telescope to perform a spectral survey at 3 4 mm (68–116 GHz) supergiant NML Cyg, alongside yellow hypergiant IRC + 10420. Our observations Cyg were combined with complementary archival data enable search for signatures morphologic...

introduction: the use of low energy isotopes such as  103 pd in brachytherapy for the treatment of cancers  such as prostate, eye, head, neck, breast and cervix is increasing. in this regard, different models of pd- 103  seeds  have  been  designed  and  manufactured  at  the  agricultural,  medical  and  industrial  research  school (amirs) of atomic energy organization of iran. in this resear...

Monitoring temperature and relative humidity of the environment to which artefacts are exposed is fundamental in preventive conservation studies. The common approach in setting measuring instruments is the choice of a high sampling rate to detect short fluctuations and increase the accuracy of statistical analysis. However, in recent cultural heritage standards the evaluation of variability is ...
