Current investigation characterized export quality shrimp samples in terms of pathogenic load along with the drug-resistance traits of the isolates, and detected the major virulent genes present in those isolates. Among the 30 such shrimp samples (15 each of Macrobrachium rosenbergi or Golda and Penaeus monodon or Bagda) studied, almost all were found to be contaminated with a huge load of bact...

The Child Language Committee dedicates this issue of Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica to Sara Eyal, who has been a faculty member of the Department of Communication Disorders at the University of Tel Aviv, Israel, a member of the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics for 40 years and a member of the Child Language Committee for 25 years. Throughout her time on the committee, S...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of Verticillium dahliae Kleb. on cotton yield and fiber technological properties, relationships among to disease and seed cotton yield, fiber yield and fiber technological properties and also determine susceptible and tolerant cotton varieties. The study was conducted in the Southeastern Anatolia Agricultural Research Institute’s exper...

In this paper we consider a non-prime K3 surface of degree 16, and study a specific degeneration of it, known as the (2, 2)-pillow degeneration, [10]. We study also the braid monodromy factorization of the branch curve of the surface with respect to a generic projection onto CP. In [4] we compute the fundamental groups of the complement of the branch curve and of the corresponding Galois cover ...

Sensitivity surrounding young people's sexual and reproductive health has limited the knowledge base, particularly on young people's perspectives and needs, that could inform legislation, policy, and programmes. Appropriate sex education could be strengthened through working with teachers and parents. Special attention is needed in designing programmes that reach the most vulnerable young peopl...

was continued for 3 weeks and stopped only after Introduction blood cultures had become sterile. However, during this period the patient started to Staphylococcal infections are frequent in haemodiacomplain of severe, low, central back pain. On physical lysed patients, and Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia examination no neurological deficit was elicited, but is associated with significant morb...

The conduction properties of <x,ro-diaminoalkanes and hydrazine bridging gold electrodes are investigated llsing density functio~al theory in combination with Green's function techniques and group theory. We show that more than 99% of the current at lo~ bIas is carried by one channel of A' symmetry whose f~rm is invariant to both the alkane c;h~!n length ~nd realIstic changes of the mJectlOn en...

The potential of two small polyL -lysines (sPLLs), low molecular weight sPLL (LMW-L) containing 7–30 lysine residues and L18 with 18 lysine repeats, to enhance the efficiency of liposome-mediated gene transfer (GT) with cationic lipid DOCSPER [1,3-dioleoyloxy-2-(N 5 -carbamoyl-spermine)-propane] in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) was investigated. Dynamic light scattering was used for deter...

A TIC-W nuclide, 4”Mn, has been identified and its decay has been studied, using on-line mass separation of “C<‘@Ca, p3n) reaction producrs. The half-life of this nuclide was determined to be I50 (10) ms, and spectra of @-delayed protons and y-rays have been obtained. A branching ratio of 2.7 (12)x Io’-s was deduced for the emission of &delayed protons, while an upper limit of 6 x iO_” was dete...
