Genome-scale metabolic reconstructions are typically validated by comparing in silico growth predictions across different mutants utilizing different carbon sources with in vivo growth data. This comparison results in two types of model-prediction inconsistencies; either the model predicts growth when no growth is observed in the experiment (GNG inconsistencies) or the model predicts no growth ...

GRIDs technology has developed from first generation, supplier-specific and configurationspecific systems through second generation systems providing metacomputing facilities over various underlying platforms. The 2.5 generation added facilities for fast data transfer (GRIDFTP) and directories (LDAP). The third generation embraced from the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) community the idea of s...

This study focuses on optimization and validation of an Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for simultaneous analysis of 11mycotoxins: Aflatoxin B1, T-2 Toxin, Ochratoxin A, Deoxynivalenol and Zearalenone in wheat matrix. Sample extraction and cleanup procedure is based on a single extraction step using acetonitrile/water/acetic acid mixture...

Bu araştırmanın amacı, otizm spektrum bozukluğu (OSB) tanılı ve normal gelişim gösteren (NGG) 9-12 yaş grubu çocuğa sahip annelerin çocuk yetiştirme tutumlarının incelenmesidir. Çalışma grubunu, 90 NGG 70 OSB’li çocuğu olan 160 anne oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında Anne-Baba Tutum Ölçeği (ABTÖ)-C Formu kullanılmıştır. analizinde Kruskal Wallis-H Mann Whitney-U testlerinden yararlanılmıştı...

In archived samples from the German environmental specimen bank (ESB) organotin compounds including tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPT) as well as their potential degradation products were quantified. Muscles of bream (Abramis brama) sampled in the period 1993-2003 from the rivers Rhine, Elbe, Saale, Mulde, Saar, and from Lake Belau (period 1988-2003) were analyzed by gas chromatography/at...

Historically, economic changes have negatively affected the nursing workforce in Ontario. The trend towards part-time and casual employment emerged from healthcare restructuring in the 1990s. The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003 alerted the Ontario government to the issue of part-time and casual nursing. In 2007, the Nursing Graduate Guarantee (NGG), a health human reso...

Allergic reactions to mannitol have been reported rarely, despite its widespread use as a drug and as a food excipient. This is the first case report in which oral mannitol induces an immediate type hypersensitivity as a drug excipient, in a 42 year old man affected by rhinitis to olive tree pollen. Unusual and undervalued risk factors for mannitol hypersensitivity are examined.

Wide distribution of chlorinated paraffins in the environment has already been demonstrated in several studies; however, information about their levels in the Central Europe is still very limited. First study focused on the SCCP contamination of the Czech aquatic environment have been performed recently, and its results motivated the authors to analyze sediments from a wide set of the Czech riv...

The GridTrust Security Framework (GSF) offers security and trust management for the next generation Grids (NGG). It follows a vertical approach for Grid security from requirements level right down to application and middleware levels. New access control models for collaborative computing, such as the usage control model (UCON), are implemented for securing the Grid systems. The GSF is composed ...
