I examine the hypothesis that many of the high velocity white dwarfs observed by Oppenheimer et al. (2001) are the remnants of donor stars from binaries that produced type Ia supernovae via the ‘single degenerate’ channel. If this channel is a significant contributor to the Galactic SN Ia supernova rate, then the local density of such remnants with V⊥ > 100 km.s −1 could be as high as 2×10pc, c...

increasing incidence of food-borne disease along with its social and economic consequences have led to conducting extensive research in order to produce safer food and develop new antimicrobial agents; among them, extensive use of probiotics and bacteriocins as biological additives is of significant importance. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the interactions (growth behavior and s...
