I argue that the large scale departure from axisymmetry of the η Carinae nebula can be explained by the binary stars model of η Carinae. The companion diverts the wind blown by the primary star, by accreting from the wind and possibly by blowing its own collimated fast wind (CFW). The effect of these processes depends on the orbital separation, hence on the orbital phase of the eccentric orbit....

Nature-based, low technology wastewater treatment systems can benefit small and remote communities. Adding a constructed floating wetland (CFW) to waste stabilization ponds enhance efficacy at cost, depending on appropriate macrophytes. In cold climates, harsh growing conditions may limit CFW success, requiring research under-ambient field conditions. Seven native macrophytes were assessed for ...

Themortality andmorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are high. However, no radical therapy has been developed to date. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether fetal mouse lung tissue can grow and differentiate in the emphysematous lung. Fetal lung tissue from green fluorescent protein C57BL/6 mice at 16 days’ gestation was used as donor material. Twelve-month-old pallid ...

Campylobacter jejuni helical shape is important for colonization and host interactions with straight mutants having altered biological properties. Passage on calcofluor white (CFW) resulted in C. jejuni 81-176 isolates with morphology changes: either a straight morphology from frameshift mutations and single nucleotide polymorphisms in peptidoglycan hydrolase genes pgp1 or pgp2 or a reduction i...

Fusariosis (Fusarium guttiforme) is the most destructive disease of pineapple crop in Brazil. The aim this study was to evaluate reaction an isolate genotypes selected for crownless fruit weight (CFW) and total soluble solids (TSS). A 1,125 ('BRS Imperial'×'Pérola') were evaluated. Selection greatest CFW TSS performed during sexual cycle. inoculated on slip-type plantlets using immersion techni...

This study reports the biomass accumulation, plant nutrient concentration, and uptake rates of plants in a constructed floating wetland (CFW) installed for sewage treatment application Australia. Plant accumulation was estimated based on field samplings throughout duration study. Analysis samples each species also completed to estimate mean tissue content. The concentration were then used total...

We have previously shown that, although bacterial endotoxins can sensitize mice to histamine, this effect is more feeble than, and qualitatively different from, that of the characteristic histamine-sensitizing factor (HSF) of pertussis vaccine (R. E. Pieroni, E. J. Broderick, and L. Levine, J. Bacteriol. 91:2169, 1966). HSF is a heat-sensitive, proteinaceous substance closely associated with, o...

The bactericidal effect of mixtures of KOH and lauric acid (LA) on the microflora of broiler carcasses was examined. Carcasses were washed by shaking in KOH-LA for 1 min on a mechanical shaker. In one set of experiments, the population of bacteria recovered from carcasses following each of 3 successive washes in 1.0% KOH-2.0% LA or in distilled water (control) was enumerated. The number of tota...

OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to estimate and compare the cost-effectiveness of the most commonly used diagnostic tests for onychomycosis: potassium hydroxide preparation (KOH), interpreted both by a dermatologist (KOH-CLINIC) and a laboratory technician (KOH-LAB); KOH with dimethyl sulfoxide (KOH-DMSO) and with chlorazol black E (KOH-CBE), interpreted by a dermatologist; culture using dermatophyte...
