This research illustrates the qualitative and quantitative composition of the mycoflora of both a green compost (thermophilically produced from plant debris) and a vermicompost (mesophilically produced by the action of earthworms on plant and animal wastes after thermophilic preconditioning). Fungi were isolated using three media (PDA, CMC, PDA plus cycloheximide), incubated at three temperatur...

pseudomonas fluorescens utpf68, well-known biocontrol bacteria was used in this study. the volatile metabolites released from utpf68 in na, nag, pda media, could inhibit the growth of fungi p.drechsleri at the rate of 84.44, 83.55 and 67.33 percent, respectively. the results showed that antibiotics production in pda and cma media prevented the growth of p. drechsleri, 100% and 93%, respectively...

We describe an experiment in combining multiple interactive media in one collaborative system. While our system supports context–based display of content, it also supports synchronous awareness between visitors using PDA, hypermedia and VR systems. We are also exploring multiple scales of location: buildings on a street, rooms within a building, and spaces within a room. We describe the design ...

PARADIGM Akshay Mohan, Rosalind Picard The Media Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 20 Ames Street, Cambridge MA 02139-4307 USA {amohan, picard}@media.mit.edu Abstract The paper describes Health0: an innovative healthcare and lifestyle management wearable system that aims to bring an individual focused approach to healthcare. A modular architecture is proposed that combines a Lin...

The use of conjugated polymers as active media in organic semiconductor devices demands a deep knowledge of the electronic processes involved at molecular level. Here we report the results obtained from self-consistent molecular dynamics calculations at the CNDO (Complete Neglect of Differential Overlap) level concerning intra-chain charge mobility for two well known polymers: polydiacetylene (...

The solvent plays an important role in a given chemical reaction. Since most reaction in nature occur in the mixed-solvent systems, a comprehensive principle for solvent optimization was required. By calculating the Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) distance Ra, we designed a model experiment to explore the influence of mixed solvents on the chemical synthesis. The synthesis of polydopamine (P...

Nanosheets have attracted much interest because of their characteristic properties originating from anisotropic and flexible structures. Inorganic nanosheets are synthesized from precursor layered compounds through exfoliation in a liquid phase. In contrast, a versatile exfoliation approach has not been fully studied for organic layered compounds. Here we report two exfoliation approaches for o...

Thrombosis can cause the occlusion of implantable medical devices, leading to rejection device and subsequent mortality. is primarily induced by red blood aggregation coagulation. The administration anticoagulant drugs generally used as a treatment avoid these processes. Adverse effects such bleeding in event an overdose, osteoporosis associated with prolonged use, hypersensitivity, hives have ...
