poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (phb), produced by several species of bacteria, has attracted great attention as a biodegradable and biocompatible compound with almost similar properties of polypropylene. unfortunately, its use is currently limited due to high production costs. one of the most common methods for overcoming this constraint is the use of inexpensive substrates, like methanol. another stra...

This review is presented to bring attention to those fungal and parasitic organisms that have been associated with central nervous system (CNS) infection and to offer an approach for handling their laboratory diagnosis. Treatment of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to yeild best results on direct smear examination and culture are discussed. Culture procedures and staining methods to be done are gi...

in this article, the experiments carried out on making, rolling and measuring the physical and mechanical properties of iow - carbon ferritic steels of various phosphorus contents ranging from 0.0 11 to 0.085 percent are discussed • the results indicate that possibility of performance of both cold and hot rolling operations up to at least one fourth of the initial thickness exists through a seq...

The present study investigated the effects of an individual's sex-role orientation on the perception of work situations. It was hypothesi7ed that sex-typed individuals would rate the feelings of an actor performing a sex-atypical task as experiencing more feelings of uncomfortableness than an actor performing a sextypical task. Androgynous individuals, on the other hand, were not predicted to d...

Constructions Nouns and Verbs 2 Table 2. Simulation results. With no open class elements, the holophrase simulations yeild one construction per sentence. When nouns become “variables” in the verb islands, the sentences can be represented by 4 distinct constructions. When nouns and verbs are open class variables, the set of sentences can be representd by the two transitive and di-transitive cons...
