This study was performed to investigate the antifungal substances and the antifungal activity against fungi of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from kimchi. LAB from kimchi in Imsil showed antifungal activity against Penicillium brevicompactum strain FI02. LAB LI031 was identified as Lactobacillus sakei subsp. Antifungal substances contained in L. sakei subsp. ALI033 culture media were unsta...

International tourism continues to increase worldwide, and people living with HIV and their clinicians are increasingly confronted with the problem of how to dose antiretroviral therapy during transmeridian air travel across time zones. No guidance on this topic currently exists. This review is a response to requests from patient groups for clear, practical and evidence-based guidance for trave...

In the nodulus and ventral uvula of pigeons, there are four parasagittal zones containing Purkinje cells responsive to patterns of optic flow that results from self-translation along a particular axis in three-dimensional space. By using a three-axis system to describe the preferred direction of translational optic flow, where +X, +Y, and +Z represent rightward, upward, and forward self-motion,...

n this issue of the Journal, a clinical investigation by Ozaki et al focuses on the flushing solution used for image acquisition with frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT).1 The authors present the cross-sectional area measurement as a quantitative evaluation using low-molecular dextran L (LMD-L) approximate to that of contrast media, and the non-inferiority of LMD-L to contras...

in this study, principal components analysis was used to investigate lithological characteristics of jahani salt dome, firouzabad. the spectral curves of rocks in the study area show that the evaporate rocks have the highest reflectance at specified wavelengths. the highest reflection has been seen in gypsum and white salt, while minimal reflection can be observed in the igneous rocks from the ...

The rationale for establishing trade 'regions' and 'zones' is based on principles of epidemiological science and risk analysis that assess and manage animal disease risks so that the safety of trade can be ensured. However, the boundaries of geographical regions and zones may readily be breached through numerous epidemiological pathways. The concept of a 'compartment' extends the application of...

Characterizing the genetic programs that specify development and evolution of the cerebral cortex is a central challenge in neuroscience. Stem cells in the transient embryonic ventricular and subventricular zones generate neurons that migrate across the intermediate zone to the overlying cortical plate, where they differentiate and form the neocortex. It is clear that not one but a multitude of...

Natural hybrid zones involving the West Indian pulmonate land snail Cerion are characterized by the occurrence, in low to moderate frequencies, of allozymes that are unique to interspecific hybrid zones. As such electrophoretically detected genetic anomalies havr also becn reported in hybrid zones involving mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects this appears to be a general phenomeno...
