The cloning and sequencing of the small subunit (SSU) ribosomal DNA gene from Kudoa rosenbuschi (myxosporean species associated with post-mortem myoliquefaction process in the Argentinean hake Merluccius hubbsi) is reported. The SSU rDNA was found to contain 1740 bp with a single polymorphic site with either a C or T at position 221. The sequence data obtained in this study and those known sequ...

In this study, a simple, rapid and sensitive ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method is described for determination of voriconazole in rat plasma samples using pirfenidone as the internal standard (IS) from pharmacokinetic assays. Sample preparation was accomplished through a simple protein precipitation with acetonitrile, and chromatographic separat...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the diagnoses and treatment methods and demographical and clinical characteristics of pregnant women who were exposed to trauma and in additon, review of the literature was carried out in this regard. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred thirty-nine pregnant women who presented at the Yüzüncü Yıl University between January 2006 and September 2009 wit...

Parambalath Narendran Ashitha designed the cover image and, along with colleagues at Central Power Research Institute, wrote accompanying article on how successful deployment of nanofillers in hightemperature vulcanizing silicone rubber matrix requires chemical surface treatments. The authors utilized a facile technique employing use an in-situ modification filler surfaces. In this work, import...

The cover by Thanh-Duong Nguyen shows the development of novel chemically bonded tribomaterials based on polyamides, irradiated polytetrafluoroethylene, and oil molecules. materials are formed through a twostep process reactive-extrusion. This article presents compound's morphology, crystallization behavior, mechanical properties. It was found that PA12-(Z7321) offered best coupling degree is m...
