Three dye molecules (Dye) of Acid Brilliant Scarlet 3R (AR18), Amido Naphthol Red G (AR1), Indigo Carmine (IC), as well sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) dopant agents were used for electrochemical synthesis polypyrrole (PPy) layers onto indium doped tin oxide (ITO) coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) electrode. The morphology, electrochemical, optical, and spectroelectrochemical properties the ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate quinolone resistance mechanisms in an Escherichia coli clinical isolate (Ar2) resistant to ofloxacin but susceptible to nalidixic acid selected after 10 days of ofloxacin therapy in a patient with prostatitis. METHODS Molecular typing (ERIC-PCR and RAPD), antibiotic susceptibility and gyrA, gyrB, parC and parE QRDR sequences were compared for E. coli Ar2 and a wild-t...

The advantages of using spatial analysis in annual crop experiments are well documented. There is much less evidence for perennial crops. For the sequence of measurements in perennial crops, apparently, there are no published articles in spatial analysis to date. This paper aimed at the comparison of several models, including auto-regressive, ante-dependence and character process models, in mod...

The effects of strain on the microstructure and mechanical properties 0.81C-0.22Si-0.31Mn (wt%) high-carbon steel were investigated by thermal simulation, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission microscopy (HRTEM), an backscatter diffractometer (EBSD). It was found that when deformed at 670 °C (a temperature between A1 Ar1), a deformation-induced pearlite transformation cemen...

We prove a conjecture of Nakajima describing the relation between the geometry of quiver varieties of type A and the geometry of the partial flags varieties and of the nilpotent variety. The kind of quiver varieties we are interested in, have been introduced by Nakajima as a generalization of the description of the moduli space of anti-self-dual connections on ALE spaces constructed by Kronehei...

This study presents developing procedures and verification of a new hybrid model, namely wavelet packet-genetic programming (WPGP) for short-term meteorological drought forecast. To this end, the multi-temporal standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) has been used as quantifying parameter at two stations Ankara province, Turkey. The WPGP model comprises main steps. In first s...

An alternative to the Engle-Granger tests is the Cointegration Regression Durbin-Watson (CRDW) test of Sargan and Bhargava (1983). The test involves a simple regression of one variable on the other, and the standard Durbin-Watson test on the residuals. Recall the null for the DW test is that the residuals form a nonstationary random walk, whereas the alternative hypothesis is that the residuals...
