background trichomonas vaginalis infection is the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease in the world. it causes vaginitis, urethritis and preterm birth. it has been associated with nongonococcal urethritis in men. in this study, a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) targeting the beta-tubulin genes of t. vaginalis was developed for the detection of the organism in both vaginal swab and urine ...

In situ surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy is used to identify the key reaction intermediates during plasma-based removal of NO and SO2 under dry wet conditions on Ag nanoparticles. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are confirm experimental observations by calculating vibrational modes surface-bound intermediate species. Here, we provide spectroscopic evidence that...

Rainwater harvesting is currently practiced widely in several countries worldwide on scales that vary according to rainwater availability as a mean of providing on-site supply of fresh water for isolated areas or those lacking proper water supply system. Different factors affect the quality of harvested rainwater mainly the multi-components of the collection system installed. In order to breakd...

Tributyltin (TBT) is one of the most toxic anthropogenic compounds introduced into the 9 marine environment. Despite its global ban in 2008, TBT is still a problem of great concern due to 10 its high affinity for particulate matter, providing a direct and potentially persistent route of entry 11 into benthic sediments. Bioremediation strategies may constitute an alternative approach to 12 conve...

Southern China hosts coral communities in marginal environments that are characterized by low linear extension rates, low coral cover and/or no reef formation, thus providing natural laboratories to study coral communities with below average growth rates. Here we compare the annual linear extension rates over 10 years (range 1.2 to 11.4 mm yr-1) of six Porites sp. coral cores collected from Hon...

population growth as well as development of industry and agriculture has increased the demand and competition over water resources in large watersheds especially in zayandeh rud basin and severely affected on agriculture and environment sectors. hence, providing a best scenario for the allocation of water in this basin is essential. in this study, due to alternating periods of wet, drought and ...

It is difficult to estimate the maximum in vivo aerobic ATP production rate of the intact heart independent of limitations imposed by blood flow, oxygen delivery, and maximum mechanical power. This value is critical for establishing the kinetic parameters that control oxidative phosphorylation, as well as for providing insights into the limits of myocardial performance. In this study, the maxim...
