Quantum illumination uses a quantum state of the electromagnetic field to detect presence target against bright background more sensitively than any classical state. Most often, is two-mode squeezed vacuum consisting signal and idler modes with non-zero phase-sensitive cross correlation, which serves as signature for detection, zero phase-insensitive means produce no fringes in second order int...

Four KB carcinoma cell lines selected independently for resistance to either colchicine, adriamycin, or vinblastine were studied. All cell lines showed high levels of resistance to the selecting drug and cross-resistance to the other drugs and to actinomycin D. Double-minute chromosomes could be identified on chromosomal spreads of these multidrug-resistant KB cell lines. Amplification of speci...

The restriction fragment length polymorphism of the 195 bp repeated DNA sequence of Trypanosoma cruzi was analyzed among 23 T. cruzi stocks giving a reliable picture of the whole phylogenetic variability of the species. The profiles observed with the enzymes Hinf I and Hae III were linked together and supported the existence of two groups. Group 1 shows a 195 bp repeated unit (Hinf I) and high ...

AFLP is a novel high resolution fingerprinting method that can be used to delineate intraspecific relationships among a large variety of organisms, including bacteria. In the present study, this method was tested for its usefulness in the epidemiological typing of Acinetobacter strains. A total of 25 Acinetobacter strains originating from five hospital outbreaks in three countries were used. Is...

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique is often criticized because it usually shows low levels of repeatability; thus it can generate spurious bands. These problems can be partially overcome by rigid laboratory protocols and by performing repeatability tests. However, because it is expensive and time-consuming to obtain genetic data twice for all individuals, a few randomly chose...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Flowering incidence in Bambusa tulda has a high socio-economic impact. The aim of the present study was to describe the species for morphological characters (vegetative and reproductive) as well as molecular markers in order to enable species identification at various stages of the life cycle. METHODS Thirty-two key morphological characters (15 culm and 17 culm-sheath) wer...

Trichoderma spp. has been identified as potential antagonist of Fusarium solani, which is causing dry root rot of Citrus. A random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker was used to estimate the genetic variation among 17 isolates of Trichoderma. These isolates were characterized using 20 random primers of the OPM series, out of which 16 primers gave a total of 145 DNA fragments, showing 91.8%...
