india is one of the largest producers of onion in the world producing over 13,920,000 metric tons. storage is a major problem which leads to spoilage, and microbes play an important role in the spoilage. in this present study, biotechnologically important strains have been isolated from the spoiled onions by using appropriate enriched media. two potential strains were isolated and a brief compa...

This paper summarizes lessons from an international analysis of the characteristics and field performance of thermal energy storage systems for load management. These systems shift electricity consumed for heating or cooling from high price on-peak periods to lower price off-peak periods. Storage media and system descriptions are reviewed, including a simplified illustration of the economic pri...

the purpose of this study was to examine the potential application of sorbitol, sucrose and gelatin in combination with glycerol in order to theileria annulata infected cell line cryo-preservation. the efficiency of the freezing methods was compared by assessing the viability and plating efficiency of cells after resuscitation, dilution and equilibration in cell culture medium. as a result, the...

Nowadays computers are an essential part of modern pharmaceutical research and data storage. It is also well known that experimental and observational data is crucial for scientific research. For approximately twelve years now, the pharmaceutical industry is storing its research data on portable storage media, where each research group was obligated to archive their research data on such portab...

The maximal storage duration is an important benchmark for memories. In quantized media, storage times are typically limited due to stochastic interactions with the environment. Also, optical memories based on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) suffer strongly from such decoherent effects. External magnetic control fields may reduce decoherence and increase EIT storage times conside...

OBJECTIVE This study analyzed the influences of the light-activation protocol and softening test on the degree of conversion (DC) and Knoop Hardness (KHN) of a microhybrid resin composite. MATERIALS AND METHODS Filtek Z250 (3M ESPE) was light-activated with a third-generation light-emitting diode (Valo Ultradent) by three protocols - standard, high power, and plasma emulation - or with a quar...

Usage of digital media has witnessed a tremendous growth during the last decades, as a result of their notable benefits in efficient storage, ease of manipulation and transmission. However these features make digital media vulnerable to copyright infringement, tampering and unauthorized distribution. In the last five years the protection of digital information has received significant attention...

P LATELETS STORED in artificial media have a shortened Cr51 survival time,1 decreased adenosine triphosphate concentration ( ATP ) and decreased activity of glycolytic enzymes.2 These changes are not observed when platelets are stored in plasma for a comparable period of time. Since storage of platelets in artificial media is associated with decreased activity of some platelet enzymes, incubati...

The recovery of upper respiratory tract bacteria on laboratory media from a variety of swabs and swab-transport media kits was examined. Organisms studied included strains of Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Neisseria meningitidis and Haemophilus influenzae. Although a wide range of results was obtained with regard to variables such as the type of swab or...
