background: culture media enrichment through the addition of protein hydrolysates is beneficial for achieving higher protein expression. methods: in this study, designing the optimum mixture of four soy and casein-derived hydrolysates was successfully performed by design of experiment and specific productivity increased in all predicted combinations. protein profile of recombinant cho (rcho) ce...

The Virtual Airspace Simulation Technology RealTime (VAST-RT) project at NASA Ames Research Center has implemented a new airspace modeling and simulation capability that provides a gate-to-gate, realtime, human-in-the-loop simulation environment to evaluate revolutionary Air Traffic Management (ATM) concepts. The system architecture of the VAST-RT connects high-fidelity flight simulators and ai...

Many researchers and practitioners use online health communities (OHCs) to influence health behavior and provide patients with social support. One of the biggest challenges in this approach, however, is the rate of attrition. OHCs face similar problems as other social media platforms where user migration happens unless tailored content and appropriate socialization is supported. To provide tail...

Nowadays, social media is often being used by users to create public messages or posts that are related to their health. With the increasing number of social media usage, a trend has been observed of users creating posts related to adverse drug reactions.

Several investigators have evaluated clinically a variety of commercially available blood culture media. No agreement has been reached as to which of these media is optimal for detection of bacteremia. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of recovery of microorganisms from various blood culture media. A total of 23 blood culture media were inoculated with 7 to 15 microorganisms p...

However, in predicting access to these resources, it has been impossible to distinguish the affordances of social media from the underlying advantage of maintaining a favorable social network of relat...

Employing media richness theory and social information processing theory, a model is developed and tested to understand the impact of communication media and bargainers’ interpersonal history on negotiation processes and outcomes. In a laboratory experiment, common multi-media combinations and the interpersonal histories of subjects were manipulated to examine their effects on task performance ...
