Fast atom bombardment (FAB) technique was employed to determine the structure of polar lipids from the cellular membrane of Lactobacillus delbruekii ssp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus. Analysis of spectra provided useful information about the molecular species and aminoacids constituents of the samples.

The single star-stellar population (ss-SSP) models are usually used for stellar population studies. However, there are more than 50% stars that are in binaries and evolve differently from single stars. This suggests when we model the stellar populations of galaxies and star clusters, the effects of binary interactions should be considered. Although a few works tried to model stellar populations...

In the (quick) overview of the SSP model, we discussed how the shearing of x-dependent modes by the mean shear leads to a positive feedback on the mean flow. In the SSP model these are the W 2 term in the M equation and the −MW term in the W equation. Although this interaction is not necessary for the self-sustaining process itself, it is the key effect that leads to the R−1 scaling of the tran...

BACKGROUND Physical inactivity is a major public health problem. The It's LiFe! monitoring and feedback tool embedded in the Self-Management Support Program (SSP) is an attempt to stimulate physical activity in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or type 2 diabetes treated in primary care. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to evaluate whether the SSP combined with the use of the monitoring ...

The composition of essential oil of the leaves of Lavandula stoechas ssp. stoechas, was analyzed by means of capillary GC-MS. The main components of L. stoechas ssp. stoechas oil were pulegone (40.4%), menthol (18.1%), menthone (12.6%). The essential oil of the plant was evaluated for antibacterial and a panel cytotoxic activities.

In this paper, we investigate the protection design for survivable meshed WDM optical networks, and propose a novel heuristic algorithm, which is called segment shared protection (SSP), to completely protect the dual-link failures. For each connection request, first SSP computes a least-cost working path, second SSP divides the working path into several un-overlapped segment paths according to ...

Recent field experiments have shown that high chloride (Cl) in irrigation waters can increase soil cadmium (Cd) uptake by crops because of the formation of soluble ion-pair complexes of Cd with Cl in soil solution. The present study was aimed at testing a hypothesis that KCl in granulated PK fertilizers may enhance Cd uptake by crops from Cd-containing P fertilizers because of close contact bet...

A PCR protocol for the rapid diagnosis of fish 'pasteurellosis' based on 16S rRNA gene sequences was developed. The procedure combines low annealing temperature that detects low titers of Photobacterium damselae but also related species, and high annealing temperature for the specific identification of P. damselae directly from infected fish. The PCR protocol was validated on 19 piscine isolate...

OBJECTIVES The ability to differentiate histological characteristics between serrated polyps (SPs) and make a pathological diagnosis of a sessile serrated polyp (SSP) is highly variable. Recent studies have shown that immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of Annexin A10 (ANXA10) is a marker of a SSP. However, the clinical utility of ANXA10 expression in patients with SPs is unknown. The objectiv...

The subset sum problem, also referred as SSP, is a NP-Hard computational problem. SSP has its applications in broad domains like cryptography, number theory, operation research and complexity theory. The most famous algorithm for solving SSP is Backtracking Algorithm which has exponential time complexity. Therefore, our goal is to design and develop better alternate enumeration techniques for f...
