Biofilm is an assembly of the microbial cells that is irreversibly associated with a surface and usually enclosed in a matrix of polysaccharide material. Biofilm is composed of microbial cells and extra cellular polymeric substance (EPS). Extra cellular polymeric matrix plays various roles in structure and function of different biofilm communities. Adhesion to the surface provides considerable ...

Recently, new spreading sequences have been proposed to multiplex the capacity of users. In particular, Weyl spreading sequences have the larger capacity of users than the Gold code. This paper shows that Weyl spreading sequences appear in bit recovering model and they are orthogonal basis. This result shows the reason why they have the large capacity and that any spreading sequence is expresse...

The concurrent use of fluoxetine and risperidone to treat schizophrenia may result in drug interactions. This study aims analyse the clinical outcomes fluoxetine-risperidone therapy possibility their interaction schizophrenic patients. are patient status at time hospital discharge, length hospitalisation Positive Negative Syndrome Scale- Excitement Component (PANSS-EC). was conducted prospectiv...

      The effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Peganum harmala seeds (EPS) on spontaneous rhythmic contractions of isolated rat uterine was investigated in this study. EPS was tested on the isolated uterus and endometrium free (i.e. stripped myometrium) preparations. EPS was found to exhibit significant spontaneous contractions of the uterus and stripped myometrium relative to the solv...

One in 10 people suffer from functional dyspepsia (FD), a clinical syndrome comprising chronic bothersome early satiety, or postprandial fullness, or epigastric pain or burning. Postprandial distress syndrome (PDS, comprising early satiety and/or postprandial fullness) and epigastric pain syndrome (EPS) are increasingly accepted as valid clinical entities, based on new insights into the pathoph...

An algorithm for Electrical Power System (EPS) quantum/relativistic security and efficiency computation via perturbative renormalization of the EPS, finding the computation flowcharts, verification and validation is built in this paper. EPS renormalization is performed via virtual thermalization. EPS energy renormalization provides EPS critical load and outlines the EPS fractal landscape. EPS t...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is increasing in Asian countries. Functional dyspepsia (FD) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are also prevalent and commonly overlapped with GERD. This study was conducted to compare the proportion and risk factors for overlapping reflux esophagitis (RE) and non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID...

BACKGROUND Post exertional muscle fatigue is a key feature in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Abnormalities of skeletal muscle function have been identified in some but not all patients with CFS. To try to limit potential confounders that might contribute to this clinical heterogeneity, we developed a novel in vitro system that allows comparison of AMP kinase (AMPK) activation and metabolic res...
