background: cross antigenicity is the major problem in developing a reliable tool for immunodiagnosis and immunoprophylaxis of parasitic diseases. mixed infection due to different types of gastrointestinal parasites is more common than single species infection under field condition. methods: the present study was undertaken to detect antigenic cross-reactivity among haemonchus contortus, oesoph...

the simultaneous flow of oil and water in porous media is described by relative permeability curves, mainly derived from laboratory experiments. relative permeability is of paramount importance in predicting reservoir production performance and drive mechanisms and its value depends largely on the volume fraction of fluids present in the test samples. nowadays x-ray scanners are one of the most...

in recent years, extraction of atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles from thermal bands of satellite images is a common practice. the most deployed images for this task have been acquired by moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (modis). this sensor which is onboard of terra and aqua platforms consists of a spectroradiometer with 36 bands in visible (vis), near infra-red (nir) u...

Milk is considered a nutritious food because it contains several important nutrients including proteins and vitamins. Conversely, it can be a vehicle for several pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. This study aimed to analyze the frequency of genes encoding the nine Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) and enterotoxin gene profiles in S. aureus isolates derived from raw bovine milk....
