In this study, we compute simplicial cohomology groups with different coefficients of a connected sum of certain minimal simple surfaces by using the universal coefficient theorem for cohomology groups. The method used in this paper is a different way to compute digital cohomology groups of minimal simple surfaces. We also prove some theorems related to degree properties of a map on digital sph...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of 15 serotypes of salmonella to form biofilm on polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride (pvc) and glass surfaces. .initially slime production was assessed on cra agar and hydrophobicity of 20 salmonella strains isolated from poultry and human and two salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium references strains was achieved by microbial adhesion to n-hexa...

A starch formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner is being developed as a component in a pest management system to control Ostrinia nubi/alis (Hubner). Palatability is one property of starch formulations which must be investigated; this study was done to identify materials that will cause O. nubi/alis larvae to feed readily on starch granules. A two-choice behavioral bioassay was develope...

ALIS (Advanced Landmine Imaging System), which is a novel landmine detection sensor system combined with a metal detector and GPR, was developed. This is a hand-held equipment, which has a sensor position tracking system, and can visualize the sensor output in real time on a head-mounted PC display. In order to achieve the sensor tracking system, ALIS needs only one CCD camera attached on the s...

In this study, we give the relationships between the conical curvatures of ruled surfaces generated by the unit vectors of the ruling, central normal and central tangent of a ruled surface in the Euclidean 3-space E^3. We obtain differential equations characterizing slant ruled surfaces and if the reference ruled surface is a slant ruled surface, we give the conditions for the surfaces generate...

background: the consumption of healthy food is considered as an essential need to devoid the physical, chemical, and biological hazards. the importance of this issue is more conspicuous in places such as hospitals where people with somehow compromised immune systems are under treatment. therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality of food contact surfaces in a kitchen ...

gradual increase of the earth's surface temperature can cause many significant changes on the climate of our planet. this problem is progressively increasing. one of the main reasons for this phenomenon is the absorption of the sun's energy and lack of proper reflection of emissions due to man-made activities, one of which is the increase in black surfaces. in this descriptive and cross-section...

background and objectives: hospital surfaces can serve as reservoirs of potential pathogenic bacteria.staff hands are the main source of bacterial transmission in hospital. the prevalence of bacteria harboring β– lactamase enzyme in staff hands and hospital surfaces, leads to spread of β–lactamase producing bacteria and ultimate increase of antibiotic resistance nosocomial infections. the aim o...

despite of suitable geological and climatic conditions for forming and evolution of alluvial fans and importance of this landform as soil and water resources in arid regions, there are limited studies about this landform in iran. in the present study, evolution and pedogenic development of geomorphic surfaces of an alluvial fan in eastern isfahan were studied by using remote sensing, field and ...
