mesophilic bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes varied during composting cycles with high numbers in the initial and final cycles with maximal values in compost c and d, and sharply decreased in the heating cycles. staphylococcus aureus and bacillus subtilis were dominated at the initial composting cycle. whereas, at maturity bacillus subtilis was the major followed by b.badies, b.polymixa and b.b...

Universal cycles, such as De Bruijn are cyclic sequences of symbols that represent every combinatorial object from some family exactly once a consecutive subsequence. Graph universal cycles graph analogue introduced in 2010. We introduce partial more compact representation classes, which use “do not know” edges. show how to construct for labeled graphs, threshold and permutation graphs. For gra...

© Appl. Rheol. 15 (2005) 90-97 Abstract: There is often a need to perform rheological tests on dilute polymeric liquids at a time long after their initial preparation, for example if a more sensitive or novel method of measuring a material property (such as uniaxial/biaxial extensional viscosity or second normal-stress differences) becomes available. An inexpensive method of storing such fluids...

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is routinely used to prevent freezethaw-induced damage to a variety of biological systems. In that context, relatively high drug concentrations in excess of one molar are usually used. However, lower concentrations of the drug produce many pharmacological effects (26) which may be efficacious for reducing hypoxiaor ischemia-induced cell damage which is often encountere...

Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) affects adversely implantation following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. COH with gonadotropins alters endometrial receptivity and luteal function. In addition periovulatory endometrial characteristics in stimulated cycles are considerably different compared with the natural cycles, and periovulatory secretory transformation is consistently ...
