In this study, growthofListeriamonocytogenes in a low conductivity growth medium (LCGM) was simultaneously monitored by conductivity and pH measurements. Detection times obtained from the conductivity and pH growth curves were inversely related to the initial concentration of L.monocytogenes in themedium. Linear responses were found by plotting detection times obtained from both conductivity an...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is known to play a multifaceted role in cell physiology mechanisms involving oxidative stress and intracellular signal transduction. Therefore, the development of analytical tools providing information on the dynamics of H2O2 generation remains of utmost importance to achieve further insight in the complex physiological processes of living cells and their response to en...

Remote sensing of vegetation stress has been posed as a possible large area monitoring tool for surface CO2 leakage from geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) sites since vegetation is adversely affected by elevated CO2 levels in soil. However, the extent to which remote sensing could be used for CO2 leak detection depends on the spectral separability of the plant stress signal caused by various ...

OBJECTIVES We compared the accuracy of quantified myocardial flow reserve and absolute stress myocardial blood flow (MBF) alone in the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Myocardial flow reserve, i.e. ratio of stress and rest flow, has been commonly used to detect CAD with many imaging modalities. However, it is not known whether absolute stress flow alone is sufficient for...

in recent years, based on the growing importance of clean energy in comparison with conventional energy production from fossil fuels, dg systems are gradually becoming more popular all over the world. these resources solve many problem of system. however, these resources create some other problems too. one of the most problem of dgs is unwanted islanding. this paper addresses reliable passive i...

wireless sensor networks (wsns) arebecoming increasingly popular, and very useful in militaryapplications and environmental monitoring. however,security is a major challenge for wsns because they areusually setup in unprotected environments. our goal in thisstudy is to simulate an intrusion detection system (ids)that monitors the wsn and report intrusions accurately andeffectively. we have thus...

We address sentence-level stress detection of English for Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) by Japanese students. Stress models are set up by considering syllable structure and position of the syllable in a phrase, which will provide diagnostic information for students. We also propose a two-stage recognition method that first detects the presence of stress and then identifies the stre...
