Although atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (aEPEC) strains are frequently implicated in childhood diarrhea in developing countries, not much is known about their adherence properties. The phenotypic and genotypic characterization of 29 aEPEC strains expressing the localized adherence-like pattern points toward the involvement of E. coli common pilus (ECP), intimins, and other known E. ...

this study aims to delve into the unobservable dimensions of deciding and acting in a pragmatically significant speech event. utilizing a discourse completion test questionnaire, it seeks to find out the structure and pragmatic functions that lie behind efl learners’ choice of specific wording while engaged in performing a recurrent speech act in iran i.e. compliments. to this aim, 30 efl learn...

during ramadan fasting quantity and quality of dietary intake may change. there was no data on nutrient patterns in ramadan fasting. the purpose of this study was to identify ramadan major nutrient patterns among those who fast in tehran, iran. 510 fasting people aged 18-65 years and bmi 18.5-40 kg/m2 were recruited in our study by 2-stage cluster sampling method in june-july 2014. data on the ...

Common beans are a warm-season, food legume cultivated in areas prone to water limitation throughout their growing season. This study assessed the magnitude and pattern of trait associations for a total of 202 common bean genotypes divided into panels of 81 Andean and 121 Mesoamerican gene pool accessions grown under contrasting treatments of well-watered, non-stress, and water-limited, termina...

Article history: Received 12 October 2011 Received in revised form 22 December 2011 Accepted 23 December 2011 Available online 17 February 2012 In this study the pattern of temporal variation in innovation rates is examined in the context of Western IQ measures in which historical genotypic gains and losses along with the Flynn effect are considered. It is found that two alternative genotypic I...

Genotypic analysis of Pigeon Paramyxovirus Type-1 (PPMV-1) virus, in corroboration with pathotyping, underpins the knowledge on occurrence PPMV-1 mediated Newcastle disease poultry. In present study, two isolates, namely D167 and D168, obtained from feral pigeons India year 2014 were analysed for their genotypic pathotypic characteristics. Phylogenetic Fusion (F) gene grouped D168 under sub-gen...

We have investigated Turing pattern formation through linear stability analysis and numerical simulations in a two-species reaction–diffusion system in which a fractional order temporal derivative operates on both species, and on both the diffusion term and the reaction term. The order of the fractional derivative affects the time onset of patterning in this model system but it does not affect ...

Escherichia coli sfa+ strains isolated from poultry were serotyped and characterized by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). Isolates collected from 12 Brazilian poultry farms mostly belonged to serogroup O6, followed by serogroups O2, O8, O21, O46, O78, O88, O106, O111, and O143. Virulence genes associated were: iuc 90%, fim 86% neuS 60%, hly 34%, ...

BACKGROUND Cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) has a role in the metabolism of many clinically important substances, but the variation within the CYP2B6 gene has not been fully characterized. The aim of the present study was to develop a reliable and robust assay for determining genotypic variants. METHODS We used a two-stage procedure. An initial multiplex PCR reaction amplified the relevant gene f...
