the role of vi-capsular polysaccharide (vi-cps) in human immunity against infection caused by salmonella typhi is well known. the downstream process of purification generally causes depolymerization of vi-cps to a nonimmunogenic low molecular weight form. in the present study, a standard strain of sal. typhi ty6s was grown under submerge cultural conditions in a pilot-plant scale of 90 liter fe...

In fish spas, clients may submerge their hands, feet or whole body in basins with Garra rufa fish, for dead skin removal. Skin infections may result from using these spas, transmitted from fish to clients, through either fish or water, or from client to client. The microbiological water quality was determined in 24 fish spas in 16 companies in the Netherlands through analysis of a single water ...

A novel mechanism for membrane modulation of transmembrane protein structure, and consequently function, is suggested in which mismatch between the hydrophobic surface of the protein and the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer induces a flexing or bending of a transmembrane segment of the protein. Studies on model hydrophobic transmembrane peptides predict that helices tilt to submerge th...

East China Sea (ECS) Storm Surge Modeling System (ESSMS) is developed based on Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). Case simulation is performed on the Typhoon Soulik, which landed on the coastal region of Fujian Province, China, at 6 pm of July 13, 2013. Modeling results show that the maximum tide level happened at 6 pm, which was also the landing time of Soulik. This accordance may lead to ...

Ice jam, a unique hydrological phenomenon of rivers in cold regions, is major cause ice flooding. There are many different kinds damage that can result from jams: e.g., blockage the water flow, rising levels flood farmland and dwellings, to hydraulic structures, interruptions shipping. The formation an jam influenced by various factors associated with fields study. accumulation thus complex pro...

Partially constructed Makhul dam may collapse after the operation due to geological and geotechnical background of foundations zone, presence gypsum layers in this Then construction Al-Fat'ha protection is one proposed solutions. The present study used geometric analysis method investigate ability planned protecting reduce disasters break. new methodology derive elements two dams, analyze relat...

Abstract In this paper, we analyze a combination based on hybrid triple hop terrestrial free-space optical (FSO), fiber optic cable (FOC), and an underwater wireless communication (UOWC) link for providing high-speed connectivity between onshore submerge systems. UOWC, scattering, absorption, turbulence severely degrade the reliability transmission rate of UOWC link. our manuscript, bend-insens...

PURPOSE This study was undertaken to assess the predictive usefulness of preoperative bone density, as measured by computed tomography (CT), and the intraoperative implant stability measures of insertion torque (IT), Periotest values (PTV), and resonance frequency analysis (ie, implant stability quotient [ISQ]) toward developing an algorithm for successful immediate loading, one-step exposure, ...

The creation of art from photos aims at raising aesthetic perception of human viewers while preserving important contents in the source photos. In this process, two divergent factors are usually manipulated and balanced: likeness/fidelity and aesthetic depictions, since in many situations perfecting one of them compromises the other. Based on this two-factor model, we present a method for rende...

In energy deficient world, cellulases play a major role for the production of alternative energy resources utilizing lignocellulosic waste materials for bioethanol and biogas production. This study highlights fungal and bacterial strains for the production of cellulases and its industrial applications. Solid State Fermentation (SSF) is more suitable process for cellulase production as compared ...
