Wild sweet cherry (Prunus avium) trees are abundant in the northern part of Turkey, including the Coruh Valley. We analyzed 18 wild sweet cherry genotypes collected from diverse environments in the upper Coruh Valley in Turkey to determine genetic variation, using 10 SSR primers. These SSR primers generated 46 alleles; the number of alleles per primer ranged from 3 to 7, with a mean of 4.6. The...

Escherichia coli O157:H7, predominantly originated from beef, is a significant pathogen to the public health and thus, needs to be vigorously surveyed in meat samples. Three (6%) of 50 ground beef samples were found to be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, but it was not detected any of 50 chicken drumsticks. This contamination rate of ground beef samples indicated that unhygienic practices pre...

1 Helsinki University of Technology, Software Business and Engineering Institute, P.O. Box 9210, FIN-02015 HUT, Finland. Email: {Timo.Asikainen, Tomi.Mannisto, Timo.Soininen }@hut.fi Abstract. We study the possibility of applying configuration techniques developed for mechanical and electronics products to software. We analyse and compare the underlying concepts of three feature modelling metho...

Proteins are the main participants in metabolic pathways. However, the analysis of protein abundance patterns associated with those pathways is complicated by the large number of proteins involved. In this study, the objective was to present the application of principal component analysis (PCA) to permit the visualization of developmental proteomic patterns of sarcoplasmic proteins found in bre...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance in enterococci from animal farms and the potential relation of resistance to antimicrobial use. METHODS Enterococci from faecal samples from 18 beef cattle, 18 dairy cattle, 18 swine, 13 chicken, and eight turkey farms were prospectively evaluated over a 6 year period from 1998 to 2003. RESULTS We evaluated 1256 isolates of...

The routine quality control of a herbal drug preparation requires the identification and determination of the contents of the active ingredients in the product. Measurement alone is not sufficient; it is also necessary to know how objectively to evaluate the experimental results . There are 6 Hyoscyamus (Solanaceae) species growing in Turkey, none of which are endemic. Hyoscyamus (Solanaceae) s...

This project involves the prevalence of breast skin alterations (breast buttons, blisters, purulent bursitis) in male and female fattened turkeys (British United Turkeys Big 6) from conventional intensive farming. In this case, 24 turkey farms across Germany and 11,860 turkeys (5,740 toms, 6,120 hens) were clinically examined, and 16,200 birds (8,400 hens, 7,800 toms) were evaluated on slaughte...
