To determine the fate of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) non-O 157 in composted manure from naturally colonized cattle, fresh manure was obtained from three cows carrying non-O157 STEC strains possessing the stx2 gene. Two composting systems were used: a 0.6m deep cave opened in the soil and an one meter high solid manure heap in a pyramidal architecture. Every day, for the 10 first day...

An adiabatic logic is a technique to design low power digital VLSI’s. This paper describes the design and VLSI implementation of a multiplier using a two phase drive adiabatic dynamic CMOS logic (2PADCL) circuit. Circuit operation and performance have been evaluated using a 4×4-bit 2PADCL multiplier fabricated in a 1.2 μm CMOS process. The experimental results show that the multiplier was opera...

released board games based on The Walking Dead; one for the graphic novel series (Kirkman 2003) and one for its television adaptation (AMC 2010-present), respectively. Both games reference their core text in the artwork and style, and both develop from an explicit association with the requisite text of each medium. The game based on the comic, The Walking Dead – The Board Game (Z-Man) is a comp...

In this study, twenty two new N,N-disubstituted dithiocarbamate derivatives were synthesized. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Anticholinergic activities of the compounds were evaluated by the tests performed on isolated rat ileum and were compared with atropine sulfate. 1-(Diphenylamino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl 4-methylpiperazine ...
