Flowing through porous media is a matter of interest in different research fields such as medicine, engineering and science. The spontaneous appearance ionic distribution at the solid liquid interface gives place to reduction flow rate, which generally named electroviscous effect. However, this should be differentiated two more specific effects, primary effect due distortion clouds, secondary o...

Late log-phase Escherichia coli B/r cells are 1.6 times more sensitive to killing by X rays than are stationary-phase cells when grown in Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) + glucose. The number of single-chain breaks formed per krad is the same for log- and stationary-phase cells. Stationary-phase cells show a somewhat greater ability to repair single-chain breaks (especially after high doses of X ray...

Microalgal growth curve, after the exponential phase, shows a stationary phase where algalbiomass production is inhibited and remains constant by some factors such as nutrientdepletion and intrinsic behavior. The present study is concerned with evaluating effects ofthe culture medium condition and intrinsic behavior on biomass production by Dunaliellatertiolecta. To this end, effect of pH, nutr...

Escherichia coli mazEF is a toxin-antitoxin gene module that mediates cell death during exponential-phase cellular growth through either reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent or ROS-independent pathways. Here, we found that the stationary-phase sigma factor sigma(S) was responsible for the resistance to mazEF-mediated cell death during stationary growth phase. Deletion of rpoS, the gene encod...
