materials and methods lactic acid bacteria isolated from spoiled fruits and vegetables and grown in mrs medium were screened against multi-drug-resistant candida albicans, klebsiella pneumoniae, pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli, and enterococcus fecalis. results fifty-four lactic acid bacteria were isolated from spoiled fruits and vegetables, of which 11 gram-positive and catalase-negat...

I report the discovery of the second L subdwarf identified in the Two Micron All Sky Survey, 2MASS J16262034+3925190. This high proper motion object (μ = 1. 27±0. 03 yr) exhibits near-infrared spectral features indicative of a subsolar metallicity L dwarf, including strong metal hydride and H2O absorption bands, pressure-broadened alkali lines, and blue near-infrared colors caused by enhanced c...

We obtain exact solution of the Dirac equation with the Coulomb potential as an infinite series of square integrable functions. This solution is for all energies, the discrete as well as the continuous. The spinor basis elements are written in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions and chosen such that the matrix representation of the DiracCoulomb operator is tridiagonal. The wave equa...

We exhibit almost periodic potentials such that the corresponding SchrGdinger operators in the space of all square Haar-integrable functions on the Bohr compac-tilication of Iw have a point in the spectrum which is not an eigenvalue.

1.2 The theorem 1.1 contrasts the rank one case, where the secondary class of the flat bundle, associated to a representation ρ : π1(X) → GL1(C) = C ∗ is essentially the representation itself, so it may be completely arbitrary. But this freedom becomes limited when one looks at the line bundles over curves, corresponding via the Deligne-Ramakrishnan construction to elements of K2(X). The map r ...

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of differentpreservative solutions to improve the keeping quality of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa cv. Single). These preservative solutions (treatments) were: T1= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l AgNO3, T2= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l AgNO3 + 25 mg/l citric acid, T3= 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l HQS, T4 = 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l HQS+ 25 mg/l citric acid, T5= 2% sucro...

There is an increasing policy emphasis on the integration of care, both within the healthcare sector and also between the health and social care sectors, with the simple aim of ensuring that individuals get the right care, in the right place, at the right time. However, implementing this simple aim is rather more complex. In this editorial, we seek to make sense of this complexity and ask: what...

  ABSTRACT Background and Objective: There have been concerns over possible association between mercury and neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants. In this study we aimed to determine whether blood levels of mercury are above safe values in Iranian infants or not. Materials and Methods:  A total of 85 infants (0, 2, 4 and 6 months old) were enrolled in this study. All of them received vaccin...
