A novel bacterial strain, designated ANL-iso2(T), was obtained from an enrichment culture inoculated with a mixture of soda lake sediments by using isobutyronitrile (iBN) as the carbon, energy and nitrogen source at pH 10. The enrichment resulted in a stable binary culture containing iBN-degrading Gram-positive rods and a satellite Gram-negative gammaproteobacterium Marinospirillum sp. strain (...

In this paper we have discussed an approach for discovering some useful knowledge from large amounts of data that are manually and automatically generated during maintenance and operation of commercial aircraft. We have discussed several important issues in analyzing data in this domain. These issues were related to: data format, data complexity, domain information, and presence of contexts. We...

This paper offers a perspective on mechanochemistry and offers summarizing commentary on the Faraday Discussion 170, "Mechanochemistry: From Functional Solids to Single Molecules". The connection between the mechanical and the chemical worlds dates back to our earliest written records and beyond, but its renaissance over the past decade or so has had an impact on a huge swathe of modern science...

consists of the following subject matter: 1. Introductory generalities. 2. Brief mention of some of the contributions to the meeting. 3. More extended discussion of a few specialized topics. 4. Discussion of the FELIX initiative for a QCD detector at the LHC.

The advent of evolutionary medicine in the last two decades has provided new insights into the causes of human disease and possible preventative strategies. One of the strengths of evolutionary medicine is that it follows a multi-disciplinary approach. Such an approach is vital to future biomedicine as it enables for the infiltration of new ideas. Although evolutionary medicine uses Darwinian e...

Akıl İslam düşünce geleneğinde geçmişten günümüze önemini korumuş, epistemoloji ve ontolojinin konusu olmuş, kelam, felsefe tasavvufun ortak kavramı olarak her zaman tartışılmış bir kavram güncelliğini korumaktadır. felsefesi özelinde bakıldığında özellikle Fârâbî akıl konusunda sudûr teorisi ekseninde ontolojiyi ile harmanlanmış şekilde aklı izah etmeye çalışmıştır. İbn Sînâ diğer konularda ol...

Ibn al-Nafis was an Arab physician, scientist, and philosopher who was born in 1213 in Damascus and died in 1288 in Cairo. He studied medicine in Damascus and moved to Egypt to practice medicine where he became the chief physician in the Mansouri Bimaristan. Ibn al-Nafis wrote in a wide array of fields, including physiology, medicine, ophthalmology, embryology, psychology, philosophy, law, and ...

Furthermore, as argued in earlier chapters of this report, gaining knowledge is as much a contest as is maneuver or the effective application of firepower in military operations. Thus, we have focused here on relative measures beginning with relative knowledge, for which we developed the knowledge metric. This metric expresses the relationship between ideal and actual knowledge, for both sides,...

Highlights of Quark Matter 95 are discussed. 1. The View from Mount RHIC This year marked a major milestone in the field of high energy nuclear collisions. Lead beams were successfully accelerated to 160 AGeV at the CERN/SPS and the first data Rapidity y or η Au+Au from AGS to RHIC HIJING1.3
