The increasing numbers of cases of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria such as Vibrio species poses a major problem to the food and aquaculture industries, as most antibiotics are no longer effective in controlling pathogenic bacteria affecting these industries. Therefore, this study was carried out to assess the antibacterial potentials of crude aqueous and n-hexane extracts of the...

Finding audiovisual material for reuse in new programs is an important activity for news producers, documentary makers, and other media professionals. Such professionals are typically served by an audiovisual broadcast archive. We report on a study of the transaction logs of one such archive. The analysis includes an investigation of commercial orders made by the media professionals and a chara...

Purpose – The purpose of this article is to investigate obesity-related queries from a public health portal (HealthLink) transaction log. Design/methodology/approach – Multidimensional scaling (MDS) was applied to each of five obesity-related focus keywords and their co-occurring terms in submitted queries. After the transaction log data were collected and cleaned, and query terms were extracte...

In recent years, Spatial Markov Models have gained popularity in simulating solute transport heterogeneous formations. They describe the transition times of particles between equidistant observation planes by statistical distributions, assuming correlation transit individual subsequent steps. By this, approach naturally captures preasymptotic dispersion. this study, we analyze bivariate log-nor...

This note discusses and illustrates the use of Weibull probability paper for complete samples and for the special kind of censoring known as type II censoring. In the latter case the observed lifetimes consist of the r lowest values of the sample, the remaining unobserved lifetimes all being higher. Three blanks for 1 Cycle Log, 2 Cycle Log and 3 Cycle Log scales on the measurement abscissa are...

A new possibility for estimating the octanol/water coefficient (log P) was investigated using only one descriptor, the semi-empirical electrotopological index (I(SET)). The predictability of four octanol/water partition coefficient (log P) calculation models was compared using a set of 131 aliphatic organic compounds from five different classes. Log P values were calculated employing atomic-con...
