The electrophoretic mobility (EPM) of a variety of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria was measured with a Penkem S3000 analyser. Under standard growth conditions and neutral pH all cells displayed a negative EPM. The polysaccharide capsules of Escherichia coli strains K1, K5, K29 and K30 generated the highest EPM; to a lesser and varying degree O-antigens with charged groups and core lipo...

This paper proposes the application to requirements elicitation of an innovative creativity technique based on a model of the pragmatics of communication, the Elementary Pragmatic Model (EPM). The EPM has been used to define a creative process, called EPMcreate that consists of sixteen steps. In each step, the problem is analyzed according to one elementary behavior identified by the EPM. Each ...

In the present paper, we address the issue of fast ion and fusion product transport in conditions that are typically relevant for burning plasmas operating in so called Advanced Tokamak regimes. Our results have direct implications, e.g., on the choice of current profiles for ITER steady state operations. We demonstrate that in a Tokamak equilibrium with hollow-q profile, in general, two types ...

A major public health challenge is to communicate effectively with vulnerable populations about preparing for disasters and other health emergencies. People who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (Deaf/HH) and older adults are particularly vulnerable during health emergencies and require communications that are accessible and understandable. Although health literacy studies indicate that the readabili...

OBJECTIVES To assess tolerance of esophageal pressure monitoring (EPM) among 5- to 13-year-old children during research polysomnography at study entry and again 1 year later. DESIGN Prospective, observational study. SETTING University-based sleep laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Children scheduled for adenotonsillectomy or hernia repair. INTERVENTIONS None; all operations were performed for cli...

As well as being considered a reliable measurement instrument of animal anxiety-like behavior, the elevated plus-maze (EPM) is also used as a post-hoc test to evaluate emotionality in genetically modified rodents. The present review considers factors which may further improve the validity (predictive/face/construct) of the EPM model: (1) the importance of measuring defensive patterns of respons...

Evaluation of Sediment yield in watershed scale is considered so important for implementation of soil conservation, watershed management, environment, dam construction and water resource management. Using empirical model is one of the approaches of evaluating Sediment yield. This research in Kasilian watershed evaluates Sediment yield by using Geomorphology method and EPM model with Arc View GI...
