Acidiphilium multivorum AIU 301 isolated from acid mineral water had strong arsenic resistance. This bacterium harbored a number of plasmids with different molecular sizes. A plasmid of 56 kbp, named pKW301, was isolated from A. multivorum AIU 301. When pKW301 was transferred into Escherichia coli JM109 by electroporation, an E. coli transformant carrying pKW301 exhibited resistance to sodium a...

In this paper, we study second-order m-point boundary value problem { u′′(t) + a(t)u′(t) + f(t, u) = 0, 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, u′(0) = 0, u(1) = ∑k i=1 aiu(ξi)− ∑m−2 i=k+1 aiu(ξi), where ai > 0(i = 1, 2, · · ·m − 2), 0 < ∑k i=1 ai − ∑m−2 i=k+1 ai < 1, 0 < ξ1 < ξ2 < · · · < ξm−2 < 1, a ∈ C([0, 1], (−∞, 0)) and f is allowed to change sign. We show that there exist two positive solutions by using Leggett-Will...

This paper aims to assess undergraduate students’ satisfaction within the Arab International University (AIU). The results were addressed by conducting a questionnaire to a total of 228 of the undergraduate students of AIU, and by undertaken 8 interviews with the librarians involved to understand users’ expectations and requirements of the AIU. The findings showed: a) a statistical significance...

Analysis of information utilisation (AIU) is a method for specifying how information entities encountered in information analysis are being physically manipulated in the work situation undergoing analysis. It focuses especially on factors affecting cognitive load. The method supports the human-computer interface designer with relevant and appropriate information structured specifically for a do...

Autoimmune urticaria (AIU) is an important subset of chronic spontaneous (CSU) and can be relatively difficult to manage. Autologous serum skin test (ASST) has served as a useful bedside detect AIU its comparison with various blood biomarkers may unlock avenues in diagnosing autoimmune urticaria. Aim our study was assess role ASST CSU correlation relevant biomarkers. It hospital-based which 58 ...

The arsenic resistance (ars) operon from plasmid pKW301 of Acidiphilium multivorum AIU 301 was cloned and sequenced. This DNA sequence contains five genes in the following order: arsR, arsD, arsA, arsB, arsC. The predicted amino acid sequences of all of the gene products are homologous to the amino acid sequences of the ars gene products of Escherichia coli plasmid R773 and IncN plasmid R46. Th...

The system architecture used for address interpretation in the CEDAR LARU is defined. Gray level address block images are input to the system and ZIP+4 Codes are output. The objective of the CEDAR address interpretation unit (AIU) design is to provide a platform that maximizes system throughput to allow for large-scale testing of algorithmic improvements in a laboratory environment. Thus, the t...

Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most common causes of adverse drug reactions. Majority of them are of the hypersensitivity type. The two frequent clinical presentations of aspirin hypersensitivity are: aspirin-induced bronchial asthma/rhinosinusitis (AIA/R) and aspirin-induced urticaria/angioedema (AIU). The decisive diagnosis is based on provocatio...
