the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of deep-stacking process on temperature and pathogenic bacterial survival of broiler litter (bl). broiler litter, deep-stacked to 3 depths (30, 60 or 120 cm) and at 3 moisture levels (15, 25 or 35%) was made use of in a split plot design, experiment last for 21 days. daily temperature of the deep-stacked bl at different depths and at di...

A fast architecture for real-time (i.e., minute-based) training of a traffic predictor is studied, based on the so-called broad learning system (BLS) paradigm. The study uses various datasets by California Department Transportation, and employs variety standard algorithms (LASSO regression, shallow deep neural networks, stacked autoencoders, convolutional, recurrent networks) comparison purpose...

Brucella Lumazine Synthase (BLS) is a highly immunogenic decameric protein which can accept the fusion of foreign proteins at its ten N-termini. These chimeras are very efficient to elicit systemic and oral immunity without adjuvants. BLS signaling via Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) regulates innate and adaptive immune responses, inducing dendritic cell maturation and CD8(+) T-cell cytotoxicity. I...

Brucella bacterium causes Brucellosis, an infectious disease spreading from animals to human. Brucella lumazine synthase (BLS) is a highly immunogenic protein with adjuvant properties, which has been introduced as an effective protein carrier for vaccine development. This protein also plays a significant role in inducing immune system. This study aimed to clone, express, and purify the BLS gene...

The aim of this study is to determine if fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) can eradicate human fibrosarcoma growing in the retroperitoneum of nude mice. One week after retroperitoneal implantation of human HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells, expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) (HT-1080-GFP), in nude mice, bright-light surgery (BLS) was performed on all tumor-bearing mice (n = 22). After BLS, mice...

It is known that providing basic life support (BLS) may be limited by the physical capabilities of rescuers. The other factor that may affect BLS quality is its energy expenditure. Therefore, we decided to compare the energy expenditure of standard BLS with a compression-ventilation ratio of 30:2 (S-BLS) and compression-only BLS (CO-BLS) and assess the sensation of fatigue and perceived exertio...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of additional (two versus one session) basic life support (BLS) training of university students on knowledge and attitude concerning the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. METHODS A total of 439 students in three separate groups were tested: those with no prior BLS training; BLS training in high school (part of the driver's ed...
