THE SUBJECT OF THE PICKLES LECTURE The archives* of William Pickles’ personal and professional papers reveal him as a ‘family man’: his marriage was long and happy, and he knew each of his patients intimately. He was, in Aysgarth, a ‘father figure’, who was consistently committed to the community he served for many years, and who went the extra mile to help them; something that we would normall...

Serialization or pickling, i.e., persisting runtime objects by converting them into a binary or text representation is ubiquitous in distributed programming. Pickler combinators are a popular approach from functional programming designed to alleviate some of the tedium of writing pickling code by hand, but they don’t translate well to object-oriented programming due to qualities like open class...

Knotted1-like homeobox (knox) genes are expressed in specific patterns within shoot meristems and play an important role in meristem maintenance. Misexpression of the knox genes, KNAT1 or KNAT2, in Arabidopsis produces a variety of phenotypes, including lobed leaves and ectopic stipules and meristems in the sinus, the region between lobes. We sought to determine the mechanisms that control knox...

This study was conducted in the laboratories of Department Food Science/College Agriculture, University Tikrit for period 2016/10/1 to 2017/10/1. Results chemical composition processed pickles. They included(E:Sour cucumber pickle, F: Carrot pickle with spices herps (slow method),G:Cucumber pickles(rapid method),H: method), I: Cucumber spices(slow method herps), J:Soure carrot pickle) showed si...

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) can be readily induced in leaf explants of the Jemalong 2HA genotype of the model legume Medicago truncatula by auxin and cytokinin, but rarely in wild-type Jemalong. Gibberellic acid (GA), a hormone not included in the medium, appears to act in Arabidopsis as a repressor of the embryonic state such that low ABA (abscisic acid): GA ratios will inhibit SE. It was impor...

Local traditional fermented foods consisting of seven samples of tempoyak (made from fresh durian fruit), six samples of budu (made from boiled fish), four samples of tempeh (made from boiled soybean), two samples of vegetable pickle (made from raw cabbage) and one sample of tapai (made from cooked glutinous rice), were used as samples for the isolation of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). A number o...

Zhou F., Zhao H., Bai F., Piotr D., Liu Y., Zhang B. (2014): Purification and characterisation of the bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum, isolated from Chinese pickle. Czech J. Food Sci., 32: 430–436. 119 strains of lactic acid bacteria from Chinese pickle were tested for production of antimicrobial compounds (bacteriocins). Among them, strain C8 showed strongly antibacterial activ...

Purpose: Despite numerous studies on the effects of complementary medicine, to our knowledge, there is no study on the effects of Capparis spinosa on disease regression in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients. We compared the effects of caper fruit pickle consumption, as an Iranian traditional medicine product, on the anthropometric measures and biochemical parameters in different...
