conclusions the results prove that the presented double pcr method could be used to detect positive cases from culture-negative blood samples. the chelex 100 method is simpler and safer than the use of qiagen kit for dna extraction. materials and methods a total of 100 patients with suspected brucellosis were included in this experimental study and given positive serological tests. diagnosis wa...

the solvent extraction of gallium from a concentrated jajarm bayer process liquor containing 164.90 g/l of na2o, 86.70 g/l of al2o3 and 106.02 ppm of gallium was investigated using 10 vol.% kelex100, a 7-alkyl substituted-8 hydroxyquinoline as an extractant, 10 vol.% etanol as a modifier and kerosene as a diluent. at (vo :va = 1.0:1.0) organic to aqueous phase ratio and at room temperature, 93....

“What they all overlook is the fact that they came to know Chelonia long after it had been cut down to a mere trace of its primitive abundance. They either hunt it today in the few places where schools hold out, or they take the trickle of waifs and stragglers that still faintly outline the old great feeding range of the species. The young men of today catch about as many turtles in a season as...

Exactly 100 years ago, F.R. Lillie reported chemotaxis in animal sperm for the first time (Lillie, 1912). Chemo-taxis refers to the directed movement of a cell or organism to the source of a chemical gradient; the chemical agent that elicits this movement is called a chemoattrac-tant. Chemotaxis had previously been shown by Pfeffer (1884) for fern spermatozoids; however, attempts to demonstrate...

Two types of lithographic methods were used to modify GaP(100) surfaces with commercially available alkanethiol molecules: microcontact printing (lCP) and ‘‘dip-pen” nanolithography (DPN). The patterned surfaces were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS). The characteriz...

This article offers a history of the English legal category monster, a legal category that entered English law in the mid-thirteenth and survived until the mid-nineteenth century. The aim of the article is to provide a close textual analysis of an otherwise absent legal history and to locate law’s monsters, and the anxieties that they suggest, within their appropriate contexts: social, politica...
