results all eight candida species were successfully detected, identified and quantitated based on the icl gene. a seven-log range of the gene copy number and a minimum detection limit of 103 copies were achieved. conclusions a one-tube absolute quantification real-time pcr that differentiates medically important candida species via individual unique melting temperature was achieved. analytical ...

An RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity has been detected in purified preparations of influenza virus. In contrast to the replicase activity induced in influenza-infected cells, the virion-associated enzyme has an absolute requirement for Mn(++). Most of the RNA synthesized in vitro is complementary to virion RNA.

Recent research exploring associations between environmental factors and influenza outcomes has devoted substantial attention to the role of absolute humidity. However, the existing literature provides very little quantitative epidemiologic evidence on the relations between absolute humidity and other weather variables and influenza outcomes in human populations. In the present study, the autho...

prediction of available vapor pressure data in the case of compounds containing c-h-o led to derivations and recommendations of standard equations for this property. the accuracy of vapor pressure estimations is essential to use as a basis to calculate acentric factor, thermal and equilibrium properties. in this study, according to the previous work, an accurate equation to estimate vapor press...

An efficient one-pot three-component procedure for the synthesis of new chiral spiro-oxindolopyrrolizidines with highly regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective from 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides and optically pure active cinamoyl oxazolidinone are described. The process occurs at room temperature in aqueous ethanol as green solvent and in the absence of any bidentate chelating...
