objective: this study designed to test the antibacterial potency of enrofloxacin (enr) and essential oils from zataria multiflora boiss (zeo) and trachyspermum copticum (teo)on aeromonas hydrophila. material and methods: the antibacterial potency of test compounds was determined by several methods including the inhibition zone diameter determination, microbroth dilution method and colorimetric ...

BACKGROUND The CloneSelect Imager system is an image-based visualisation system for cell growth assessment. Traditionally cell proliferation is measured with the colorimetric MTT assay. RESULTS Here we show that both the CloneSelect Imager and the MTT approach result in comparable EC50 values when assaying the cytotoxicity of cisplatin and oxaliplatin on various cell lines. However, the image...

PURPOSE To compare clinical and radiographic results of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using modified transtibial technique (mTT), anteromedial (AM) portal technique and outside-in (OI) technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS From March 2007 to December 2012, ACL reconstruction was performed using the mTT, AM portal technique and OI technique in 20 patients each. Anteroposterior and...

Placing the tunnels in the anatomic positions is important for successful restoration of knee function after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). It has been shown that it is difficult to place the tunnels in the anatomic position using the transtibial technique. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of each step of our modified transtibial technique (mTT) on the pos...

Presents the MTT-S Technical Committee 26 Report.

Reports on news of interest to MTTS Society members.

The IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S) started as the “Professional Group on Techniques” (PG MTT) when founding committee received approval from then Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) 7 March 1952. first meeting, held 1 May 1952, included Ben Warriner chair; Andre Clavier vice Bill Mumford secretary–treasurer; members Paul Coleman, Don King, Harry Marvin, Joe McCann, George R...

We report progress made in our recent effort to develop and implement a novel, lifetime-based molecular tagging thermometry (MTT) technique to quantify unsteady heat transfer and phase changing process inside small icing water droplets pertinent to wind turbine icing phenomena. The lifetime-based MTT technique was used to achieve temporally and spatially resolved temperature distribution measur...
