INTRODUCTION Human health is deemed to be maintained by the crosstalk among the body and probiotic bacteria. Disruptions in this composition are associated with the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. Through modernization, traditional foods consumption has been abandoned and native food starters have been substituted with industrial products. Hence, we aimed to isolate and evaluate probiotic ba...

Laboratory practitioners working in oncology are increasingly involved implementing genomic medicine, operating at the intersection of laboratory and clinic. This includes molecular diagnostic work testing to direct entry into molecular-based clinical trials treatment decision-making based on profiling. In this article, we draw qualitative interviews with United Kingdom explore role cancer focu...

This article presents a robotics architecture for impedance controlled manipulators. The impedance su-perposition principle is exploited in order to build a merging mechanism for behaviour-based architectures. A preliminary set of experiments shows the potentiality of the proposed approach.

in the tradition of philosophy prime matter has been often accepted as a genuine aristotelian concept. however, this has been doubted by some modern scholars. the dispute is mainly whether aristotle committed to prime matter or not. on the other hand, some scholars still endorse prime matter as a part of aristotle’s philosophy. prime matter is tied up to the problem of generation. generation, i...

Discussions about the use and derivation of pluripotent human embryonic stem cells are a stumbling block in developing public policy on stem cell research. On the one hand there is a broad consensus on the benefits of these cells for science and biomedicine; on the other hand there is the controversial issue of killing human embryos. I will focus on the compromise position that accepts research...

Abstract This study evaluated the concentrations and distributions of nutrient non-nutrient elements in water, sediment, mud, vegetation Ologe Lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria. Nutrient including Na, Ca, K, Mg were found high concentration values different components freshwater ecosystem. While water had least elements, Trapa natans highest. Aluminium showed similar distribution patterns components, exce...
