BACKGROUND Pyrazinamide (PZA) plays an essential part in the shortened six-month tuberculosis (TB) treatment course due to its activity against slow-growing and non-replicating organisms. We tested whether PZA preferentially targets slow growing cells of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that could be representative of bacteria that remain after the initial kill with isoniazid (INH), by observing the ...

Nowadays, in many rangelands, due to over grazing, and problems that some plantshave in germination, the rate of forage production is greatly reduced. So to take advantages ofthe benefits of such plants, it is necessary to identify and remove barriers of germination andestablishment of suitable plants. The present study was designed to investigate differenttreatments of breaking dormancy and st...

Abstract A lot of attention has been paid recently to the study mixtures and also Moore–Gibson–Thompson (MGT) type equations or systems. In fact, MGT proposition can be used describe viscoelastic materials. this paper, we analyze a problem involving mixture composed by material an elastic solid. To end, first derive system governing deformations such material. We give suitable assumptions obtai...

Miniature gas turbines (MGT) are an important part of the production electric energy in distributed systems. Due to growing requirements for lower emissions and increasing prices hydrocarbon fuels, it is becoming more enhance efficiency improve quality combustion process turbines. One way reduce NOx add water fuel form a water-based emulsion (FWE). This article presents research results analysi...

To become sustainable, the production of electricity has been oriented towards adoption local and renewable sources. Distributed electric thermal energy generation is more suitable to avoid any possible waste, Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) can play a key role in this scenario. Due intrinsic properties high flexibility operation conversion system, exploitation alternative fuels integration MGT itself ...

Invasive plants colonize new environments, become pests and cause biodiversity loss, economic loss and health damage. Senecio vulgaris L. (Common groundsel, Asteraceae), a widely distributing cosmopolitan weed in the temperate area, is reported with large populations in the north-eastern and south-western part, but not in southern, central, or north-western parts of China. We studied the germin...

In many parts of the World, medical male circumcision (MMC) is used as standard prevention of care against HIV infection. This is based on seminal reports made over 10 years ago that removal of the foreskin provides up to 60% protection against HIV infection in males and seems currently the best antiretroviral-free prevention strategy yet against the global epidemic. We explore the potential me...
