The test definition language TTCN-3 is currently under standardization by ETSI/ITU-T. Its intended field of application is testing and performance measurement of communication hardand software. TTCN-3 does include mechanisms for specifying remote hardware access and for distributed execution of testing code components. But for running compiled TTCN-3 code distributed onto distinct nodes of diff...

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have been recognized as an important cause of disease in immunocompromised hosts. Pulmonary disease caused by NTM is increasingly recognized in previously healthy persons. Investigation of pulmonary disease affecting a family of five identified an indoor hot tub as the source of NTM-related disease.

Pestalotiopsis-like species have been reported affecting strawberry worldwide. Recently, severe and unprecedented outbreaks in Florida commercial fields where leaf, fruit, petiole, crown, root symptoms were observed, yield was severely affected. The taxonomic status of the fungus is confusing because it has gone through multiple reclassifications over years. Morphological characteristics, phylo...

Objective: This study evaluated the effects of alternative self-etch application modes on resin-dentin microtensile bond strength (µTBS) three commercially available “no wait” concept universal adhesives. Materials and methods: In this extracted impacted non-carious human third molars were used. The flat surfaces prepared in mid-coronal dentin with a 600-grit SiC paper. adhesives that used are ...

This experimental study aims to investigate and analyze the performance of a Water-Air Heat Exchanger that functions as passive cooling in building ventilation system tropics. Before being blown into room, high-temperature outdoor air will be passively cooled by lower-temperature water. Air driven an Inline Duct Fan with constant mass flow rate 4.68 cubic meters per minute flows through PVC hos...

PURPOSE The family of tubby-like proteins (TULPs), consisting of four family members, are all expressed in-the retina at varying levels. Mutations within two members, tub and TULP1, are known to lead to retinal degeneration in mouse and humans, respectively, suggesting the functional importance of this family of proteins in the retina. Despite a high degree of conservation in the carboxy-termin...

We report a case of a previously healthy 38-year-old male with acute prostatitis and concurrent Pseudomonas aeruginosa urosepsis. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis confirmed that the source of the organism was the patient's newly purchased hot tub, which was filled with water from a stream.
