Spores of marine Bacillus sp. strain SG-1 are capable of oxidizing Mn(II) and Co(II), which results in the precipitation of Mn(III, IV) and Co(III) oxides and hydroxides on the spore surface. The spores also bind other heavy metals; however, little is known about the mechanism and capacity of this metal binding. In this study the characteristics of the spore surface and Cu(II) adsorption to thi...

BACKGROUND Hydration status is a controversial determinant of athletic performance. This relationship has not been examined with mountaineering performance. METHODS This was a prospective observational study of mountaineers who attempted to climb Denali in Alaska. Participants' urine specific gravity (SG), and ultrasound measurements of the inferior vena cava size and collapsibility index (IV...

The effects of two treatments, irrigation and fertilization, were examined on specific gravity (SG)-related wood properties of loblolly pine trees (Pinus taeda L.) grown in Scotland County, North Carolina. The effects on the core as a whole, on the juvenile core, on the mature core, and from year to year were all analyzed. The results indicate that fertilization significantly lowered latewood S...

Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui korelasi serta mendapatkan nilai besar pengaruh antara ketebalan kerabang (X1), bobot (X2), dan telur (X3) terhadap specific gravity (SG) (Y) ayam ras. SG berkorelasi positif signifikan dengan kerabang. Meningkatnya diikuti menurunnya telur. Penelitian menggunakan 300 sampel segar metode korelasional uji path analysis. Hasil perhitungan koefisie...

To investigate the membrane abnormalities that may play a pathophysiologic role in several hemolytic anemias we determined the density distribution on sucrose density gradients of human red blood cell (RBC) membranes from patients with these disorders, from normal controls, and from incubated normal RBC. We analyzed the fractions for membrane-adsorbed hemoglobin (Hb), globin, and nonglobin cyto...

To investigate if it is appropriate to apply urine density correction when a urine sample is dense or dilute. Data on hippuric acid (HA-U), toluene (Tol-U), creatinine (CR) and specific gravity (SG) in end-of-shift urine samples and exposure to air-borne toluene were cited from previous publications. In practice, 837 cases were available, and they were classified into dense, intermediate and di...

This study was conducted to determine effects of dietary NaHCO supplementation on egg 3 production and egg quality during the late laying period. Hisex Brown layers, 54 wks of age, were blocked according to the cage location and then assigned randomly to receive one of four diets containing 0, 0.1, 0.2, or 0.4% NaHCO for 75 d. Each diet was replicated in 6 groups; each consisting of 2 cages con...

The agents of sleeping sickness disease, Trypanosoma brucei complex parasites, are transmitted to mammalian hosts through the bite of an infected tsetse. Information on tsetse-trypanosome interactions in the salivary gland (SG) tissue, and on mammalian infective metacyclic (MC) parasites present in the SG, is sparse. We performed RNA-seq analyses from uninfected and T. b. brucei infected SGs of...

Abstract. The superconducting gravimeter (SG) GWR C025 has monitored the time variation in gravity at Conrad Observatory (Austria) since autumn 2007. Two tiltmeters have operated continuously spring 2016, namely a 5.5 m long interferometric water level tiltmeter and Lippmann-type 2D pendulum tilt sensor. co-located co-oriented set up enables wide range of investigations because tilts are sensit...
