Campylobacter enteritis in humans has been linked to consumption of chicken. Reducing Campylobacter jejuni colonization in chickens can potentially reduce Campylobacter infections in humans. In this study, the reduction of C. jejuni colonization in chicks by oral administration of defined competitive exclusion (CE) cultures, 2.5% dietary carbohydrates, or CE cultures and carbohydrates was exami...

Microporous materials, such as silicalite-1 and VSB-5 molecular sieves, have been synthesized by both microwave irradiation (MW) and conventional electric heating (CE). The accelerated syntheses by microwave irradiation can be quantitatively investigated by various heating modes conducted in two steps such as MW-MW, MW-CE, CE-MW, and CE-CE (in the order of nucleation-crystal growth). In the cas...

Oscillating chemical bulk reactions of the Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) type usually show a welldefined periodical color change representing the underlying chemical reactions. Models including up to more than 50 coupled reactions have been developed to describe the BZ-reaction in detail, however, typically a much simpler set of equations is used (i.e. the Brüsselator, the FKN, or the FitzHugh–Nagu...

Résumé. Plusieurs méthodes ont été développées ces dernières années pour détecter, dans un réseau social, les membres qualifiés, selon les auteurs, d’influenceurs, de médiateurs, d’ambassadeurs ou encore d’experts. Dans cet article, nous proposons un nouveau cadre méthodologique permettant d’identifier des diffuseurs dans le contexte où seule l’information sur l’appartenance des membres du rése...

Résumé. L’analyse discriminante généralisée suppose que l’échantillon d’apprentissage et l’échantillon test, qui contient les individus à classer, sont issus d’une même population. Lorsque ces échantillons proviennent de populations pour lesquelles les paramètres des variables descriptives sont différents, l’analyse discriminante généralisée consiste à adapter la règle de classification issue d...

Purpose – Aims to assess the effect of European Union performance directives related to CE marking on the machinery industry of Taiwan. Design/methodology/approach – This paper adopts a questionnaire to collect information. By means of a statistical scheme, performance indices of importance and difficulty, which meet the directives requirement, are designated. The performance evaluation matrix ...

Inherited germline mutations in the tumor suppressor gene BRCA1 predispose individuals to early onset breast and ovarian cancer. BRCA1 together with its structurally related partner BARD1 is required for homologous recombination and DNA double-strand break repair, but how they perform these functions remains elusive. As part of a comprehensive search for DNA repair genes in C. elegans, we ident...
