international tourism and its related businesses have considerably increased recently. due to this expansion, tourism employees must be able to communicate appropriately, and effective esp programs need to be administered accordingly. many studies have been conducted on current esp courses for tourism; however, major problems still remain in designing esp courses to satisfy l2 learners’ needs, ...

Fifty isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex were tested for susceptibility to pyrazinamide (PZA) by the ESP (Trek Diagnostic Systems, Westlake, Ohio) and BACTEC (BD Biosciences, Sparks, Md.) test systems. Initial results showed concordance for 48 of the isolates. On retest, the two discordant isolates were resolved in favor of the ESP system. The ESP Myco susceptibility test system gen...

BACKGROUND In this study we aimed to determine the prevalence of sharp injuries (SI) and blood and body fluid (BBF) splashes in health care workers during elective surgery procedures (ESP). This study would help to plan the preventive measures for injuries and BBF splashes. METHODS All ESP were recorded during three months period and SI and BBF splashes were analyzed in Hospital of Dicle Univ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are used in cell therapy and tissue engineering due to their ability to produce different cells types. However, studies of ES cells that are derived from fertilized embryos have raised concerns about the limitations imposed by ethical and political considerations. Therefore, many studies of stem cells use the stem cells t...

ESP-1 virus provides a helper function to defective Friend spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV). This helper activity is demonstrable only in B-type mice (Fv-lbb) under conditions in which the N-tropic lymphatic leukemia-inducing virus contained in the Friend virus complex is inhibited. ESP-1 virus therefore expresses a B-tropic host range in vivo with respect to its ability to provide a helper fu...

Background: Quality of education plays a key role in the development of education. Having this perspective in mind the researchers explored the quality of ESP courses from ESP instructors point of views and investigated the role of quality of education of ESP courses in information-seeking behavior of the students. They also probed the possible relationship between EFL instructors reflective pr...

This paper comes out of concern about instructional principles of developing English for Specific Purposes (ESP) materials in China. It points out the major problems of ESP material development in China: incapability to write ESP materials; selection of materials; imbalance between carrier content and real content; imbalance in language skills development. To solve these problems, it is suggest...

The prevalence of esp, a gene associated with infection-derived and outbreak strains, in enterococcal blood isolates from 2002 was determined. Fifty-five of 137 (40.1%) Enterococcus faecalis isolates, 30 of 58 (51.7%) E. faecium isolates, 1 of 1 E. raffinosus isolate, 0 of 4 E. gallinarum isolates, and 0 of 1 E. casseliflavus isolate were positive. esp wasn't associated with vancomycin resistan...

Excretory/secretory proteins (ESP) from Toxoplasma gondii were analyzed to define the function in the penetration process into host cells. Whole ESP obtained at 37 degrees C were composed of 15 bands with molecular mass of 110, 97, 86, 80, 70, 60, 54, 42, 40, 36, 30, 28, 26, 22, and 19 kDa. Five ESP of 86, 80, 42, 36, and 28 kDa were reacted with monoclonal antibodies (mAb), named as Tg386 (mic...
