background: the aims of this study were to identify blastocystis subtypes (sts) in a cohort of turkish patients with various gastrointestinal symptoms using a novel real time pcr method developed recently for blastocystis detection and assess the relationship between blastocystis sts and patient symptoms. methods: totally, 617 stool samples of patients with gastrointestinal symptoms were examin...

In this work, we present coding techniques that enable progressive transmission when trellis coded quantization (TCQ) is applied to wavelet coefficients. A method for approximately inverting TCQ in the absence of least significant bits is developed. Results are presented using different rate allocation strategies and different entropy coders. The proposed wavelet-TCQ coder yields excellent codi...

This paper considers the joint problem of dirty-paper and Wyner-Ziv coding with partial host information at the receiver. The rate-distortion and the capacity expressions have been derived for the Gaussian case. It is shown that the availability of the partial host information to the receiver has positive effects to the compression performance and the overall capacity. Moreover, a practical cod...

conclusions shedding of l. monocytogenes in different animal species, and different samples are different. due to antibiotic resistance, especially in l. monocytogenes, veterinarians should pay more attention to prescribe antibiotics. we recommend using the real-time pcr for safe, sensitive, and rapid detection of l. monocytogenes in clinical samples, and using the disk diffusion methods to pre...

During 2009-10, real time RT-PCR and conventional RT-PCR techniques Used for detecting BTVs RNA in 310 blood samples. For real time and gel based RT-PCR segment-1 and segment-10 selected as conserve genes to search any BTV strains. Using these methods, 58 (%18.7) and 14 (%4.5) positive samples were detected among the clinically suspected sheep. Sensitivity of both molecular techniques evalua...
