Single lots of a Chase-Siltzbach type I Kveim test material from each of two sarcoid spleens and designated lot 5 of spleen K12 and lot 1 of spleen K13 have been validated alongside a single lot (lot 10) of a 'standard' suspension provided by Dr L. E. Siltzbach and prepared identically from the spleen of patient J (SPLEEN J) in New York. Additionally, a half-dilution of lot 5, K12, was included...

Abstract Electrostatic samplers have been increasingly studied for sampling of viral and bacterial aerosols, bioaerosol are required to provide concentrated liquid samples with high physical collection biological recovery, which would be critical rapid detection. Here, the effects media protocols on recovery two airborne bacteria ( Pseudomonas fluorescens Micrococcus luteus ) under electrostati...

Vehicle suspension design must fulfill some conflicting criteria. Among those is ride comfort which is attained by minimizing the acceleration transmitted to the sprung mass, via suspension spring and damper. Also good handling of a vehicle is a desirable property which requires stiff suspension and therefore is in contrast with a vehicle with good ride. Among the other desirable features of a ...

Bacillus subtilis strains (CM1-CM5) isolated from culturable cowdung microflora were investigated for indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production in nutrient broth (NB). All the strains tested produced IAA in NB; albeit in very low concentrations (0.09-0.37 mg/l). The addition of L-tryptophan (0.1 - 1.0 g/l) into NB substantially enhanced IAA production (6.1 - 31.5 folds) indicating that L-tryptophan...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this paper is to report on the bacterial species isolated from patients with bacterial conjunctivitis participating in three clinical trials of besifloxacin ophthalmic suspension, 0.6%, and their in vitro antibacterial susceptibility profiles. METHODS Microbial data from three clinical studies, conducted at multiple clinical sites in the US and Asia were integrated. ...

Suspension-based tabling systems have to save and restore computation states belonging to OR branches. Stack freezing combined with (forward) trailing is among the better-known implementation approaches for this purpose. Resuming a goal using this technique reinstalls the bindings for all the variables in the environment where the goal was suspended. In this paper we explore an alternative appr...

The microorganisms have been usual noted as the major cause of delayed wound healing. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common pathogen causing these infections. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) show ample antibacterial activities. In present study, the effect of AgNPs alone and in combination with tetracycline investigated on inoculated wounds with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in mice. Twenty mice anes...
