Bacterial species present in the Berg and Plankenburg Rivers (Western Cape, South Africa) were isolated from water and biofilm samples and population shifts between sampling sites were phylogenetically identified. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction of representative isolates was performed and amplified using 2 different primer sets. Various Enterobacteriaceae species were present at all of ...

We consider zero-sum games (A,−A) and coordination games (A,A), where A is anm-by-n matrix with entries chosen independently with respect to the Cauchy distribution. In each case, we give an exact formula for the expected number of Nash equilibria with a given support size and payoffs in a given range, and also asymptotic simplications for matrices of a fixed shape and increasing size. We caref...

The question of the existence of order in two-dimensional isotropic dipolar Heisen-berg antiferromagnets is studied. It is shown that the dipolar interaction leads to a gap in the spin-wave energy and a nonvanishing order parameter. The resulting finite Néel-temperature is calculated for a square lattice by means of linear spin-wave theory.

Species from the genus Campomanesia have been studied due to their biological activity and low toxicity. However, studies on fruit peel of these species are scarce. In this context, effects ethanol extract sessiliflora (O. Berg) Mattos (CS) guazumifolia (Cambess) O. Berg (CG) were evaluated concerning effect germination meristem cells roots Allium cepa. The CG ethanolic showed flavonoid compoun...

[Purpose] To investigate the effect of coordination movement using the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation pattern underwater on the balance and gait of stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty stroke patients were randomly assigned to an experimental group that performed coordination movement using the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation pattern underwater and a control group...

The primary goal of the present research is to study the effect of a neurofeedback training (NFT) period on balance problems associated with Parkinson's disease. Sixteen patients were selected through purposive sampling and were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The research procedure included eight sessions. Prior to and after training, pre-tests and post-tests of static a...
