We have evaluated over a period of 18 months the use of 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence analysis as a means of identifying aerobic gram-positive rods in the clinical laboratory. Two collections of strains were studied: (i) 37 clinical strains of gram-positive rods well identified by phenotypic tests, and (ii) 136 clinical isolates difficult to identify by standard microbiological investigatio...

Within their natural habitat, plants are subjected to abiotic stresses that include heat stress. In the current study, effect of 4 h, 24 and 48 h stress on Tetraena propinqua ssp. migahidii seedling’s protein profile proteomic analyses were investigated. Total soluble SDS-PAGE (Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) showed 18-protein bands, newly synthesized band (with molec...

One hundred fourteen high-lean growth gilts (72.5 kg BW) were used to determine the apparent digestible lysine requirement for maximum growth performance and carcass protein deposition rate from 72.5 to 136 kg BW. The experiment was a randomized complete block design with initial BW used to establish blocks. Six dietary treatments were included, ranging from .44 to .94% (.10% increments) appare...

Two of the major second generation standards, GSM and TDMA/1361, have built the foundation to offer a common global radio access for data services. Through use of a common physical layer, EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM and TDMA/136 Evolution), both standards will have the same evolutionary path towards providing third-generation services. EDGE is currently subject to standardization in TIA T...
