orchids are one of the most popular plants in the world and among them phalaenopsis genus have the most sales in a global market. because of its hard propagation, micropropagation technique has been employed recently. in this study, we tried to find out useful protocol for commercial production through in vitro culture. at first, for seed capsules production, flowers were pollinated with hand i...

In fermented products containing Bifidobacteria, factors such as organic acid concentration and b-galactosidase activity are important in the development of flavor and texture of final products. Both the process conditions and medium components have significant effects on fluctuation of such factors. The effects of whey permeate powder and yeast extract concentrations, as nitrogen sources was i...

A moderately halotolerant Streptomyces strain, designated JAJ13 was characterized and a culture medium was statistically optimized to improve its antibacterial activity. Based on the phenotypic and molecular characteristics, strain JAJ13 was identified as a moderately halotolerant Streptomyces sp. JAJ13. Novelty of the strain JAJ13 in production of antibacterial compound was assessed by sequenc...

lysine is nutritionally essential for humans and animals. it cannot be synthesized biologically in body. children and growing animals have a high requirement of lysine, since it is needed for bone formation. therefore, it must be added to food and feed supplement to improve the protein quality. in addition, lysine has some pharmaceutical applications in the formulation of diets with balanced am...

Automatic quality control for audiovisual media is an important tool for broadcasters, archives and content providers in media production, delivery and preservation processes but also for post-production houses when estimating restoration costs. Today mainly technical properties of the material are checked automatically. Other relevant content properties or impairments are manually checked. We ...

Many of the essays in this volume bear witness to the powerful alchemy of personal cultural production and communication combined with large-scale networks of digital distribution and archiving. While the implications of peer-to-peer exchange for the media industries have attracted considerable public attention, there has been much less consideration of how these exchanges operate in the everyd...

Background: Large scale high quality and low cost production of clinical grade mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is critical for facilitating clinical research and potential stem cell therapies. Use of Fetal Bovine/Calf serum (FBS/FCS) for the clinical application carries a risk for transmission of zoonosis, therefore alternative xeno-free cell culture techniques have been evaluated. The commercial...

Facial expressions play an important role in day-by-day communication and more so in media. This article looks into automatic analysis and modelling of faces using computer vision techniques and their applications for media production.

pseudohandelia tzvel. belongs to the asteraceae family with only one species. it is endemic to khorasan province in iran. having partially big and beautiful inflorescences make it a proper choice in urban green space especially in case of mass culture. in this research, to investigate possibility of micro propagation of this plant two separate experiments were designed. to obtain non contaminat...

Convergence implies that previously unalike areas come together, approaching a common goal. A subordinate concept of convergence, i.e., media convergence, is a concept that has become common when denoting a range of processes within the production of media content, its distribution and consumption. The concept of media convergence has achieved buzzword status in many contexts due to its widespr...
