We apply model-based cluster analysis to data concerning types of democracies, creating an instrument for typologies. Noting several advantages of modelbased clustering over traditional clustering methods, we fit a normal mixture model for types of democracy in the context of the majoritarian-consensus contrast using Lijphart’s (1999) data on ten variables for 36 democracies. The model for the ...

Based on the zymography analysis, Bacillus sp. DJ-4 (screened from Doen-Jang, a Korean traditional fermented food) secretes seven extracellular fibrinolytic enzymes (EFEs; 68, 64, 55, 45, 33, 27, and 13 kDa) in culture broth. These seven EFEs were analyzed by newly applied SDSfibrin zymography combined with gradient polyacrylamide (SDS-FZGP). This improved gel system was used with a 5-20% acryl...

Emerging evidence of the impact plant compounds on growth inhibition micropathogens and cancer cells has opened new areas to evaluate plants’ treatment properties. Here, we aimed investigate in vitro antioxidant, antibacterial anticancer effects secondary metabolites isolated from different extracts produced by Elaeagnus angustifolia Scrophularia striata. Antibacterial activity was evaluated ag...
