Ellis, Kenneth J., and William W. Wong. Human hydrometry: comparison of multifrequency bioelectrical impedance with H2O and bromine dilution. J. Appl. Physiol. 85(3): 1056–1062, 1998.—The traditional method of assessing total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW), and intracellular water (ICW) has been the use of isotopes, on the basis of the dilution principle. Although the development o...

Introduction: The strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are known as an opportunistic pathogen that can cause infections in humans and animals. Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are the most significant factors of resistance to carbapenem antibiotics in these bacteria. This study was designed to identify the MBLs producing P. aeruginosa isolates in three hospitals of Tehran, Iran. Methods: Tota...

The Transition Edge Sensor (TES)-Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) is an X-ray detector with high-energy resolution (12.8 eV). The TES can be mounted to a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The TES-EDS is based on a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator. The high-energy resolution enables analysis of the distribution of various elements in samples under low acceleration voltage (typically unde...

Abstract This work aimed to study the antimicrobial activity of eight various components plant origin on growth Pseudomonas lundensis and Listeria monocytogenes. Different in vitro methods were used: agar plate diffusion, micro atmosphere, hole micro-dilution, gradient-plate method. In first assay, p-cymene γ-terpinene did not inhibit tested bacteria therefore they used further experiments. Bot...

The aim of the present study was to prepare, evaluate and optimize, self micro emulsifying drug delivery system of celecoxib. A 3 factor, 3 level factorial design was used for the optimization procedure with different amounts of Labrafil 2609 WL, Labrasol, and Cremophor EL as the independent variables. The response variable was selected on particle size (nm) of the droplets after dilution in 0....

The Critical Depth Hypothesis formalized by Sverdrup in 1953 posits that vernal phytoplankton blooms occur when surface mixing shoals to a depth shallower than a critical depth horizon defining the point where phytoplankton growth exceeds losses. This hypothesis has since served as a cornerstone in plankton ecology and reflects the very common assumption that blooms are caused by enhanced growt...

The present study was designed to investigate antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities of four plant species from Indian origin. The antimicrobial activity of petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl-acetate and methanol extracts of barks of Acacia nilotica, Berberis chitria, Terminalia paniculata and Madhuca longifolia were tested against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcu...
