The features of the formation castings from chromium cast iron during casting in a combined mold are studied using internal sources heat removal introduced into melt. A series experiemеnts has been carried out with wear-resistant iron. following macrocoolers have used: 0.5 mm thick silumin plate containing 3–5 % Ti; mixture borax and crushed ferrochrome (1–4 mm); white shot. phase composition s...

We report here on the characterization of a vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VREF) isolated from a dog with mastitis. The isolate was positive for the vanA, ermB, and tet(M) genes, with vanA and ermB carried on the same transferable plasmid. Comparison of this isolate with VREF from poultry and human sources in New Zealand demonstrated identical SmaI macrorestriction patterns and Tn1...

Radiotherapy with heavy ions is an upcoming cancer treatment method with to date unachieved precision. It associates higher control rates particularly for radiation resistant tumour species with reduced adverse effects compared to conventional photon therapy. This paper will provide an overview about the project, with special attention given to the two 14.5 GHz electron cyclotron resonance (ECR...

Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) are a threat to public health as they frequently reveal multidrug-resistant pattern. Researchers all over the world on an urgent hunt for new treatments help fight infections before antibiotics become obsolete, and some natural alternatives, such polyphenols, have already exhibited therapeutic properties. Therefore, this study aimed determine phenolic prof...

In this review of coffee leaf rust (CLR) in Brazil, we report: (i) the historical introduction CLR Brazil and first control measures; (ii) favorable environmental conditions times year for disease; (iii) breeding methods strategies used developing CLR-resistant cultivars; (iv) levels, sources, types resistance; (v) development Brazilian resistant (vi) chemical cultural methods. Most plantations...

We have assessed the prevalence of Escherichia coli O157 in diarrhoeal patients and surface waters from some selected sources in Zaria (Nigeria), evaluating the antibiotic susceptibility and plasmid profiles of 184 E. coli isolates, obtained from 228 water samples and 112 diarrhoeal stool specimens (collected from children aged <15 years), using standard methods. The detection rate of E. coli O...
