Screening for pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus has become routine in certain areas associated with food-borne outbreaks. This study is an evaluation of the CHROMagar Vibrio (CV) medium-PCR protocol and the conventional method (TCBS (thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose) agar plus biochemical and Wagatsuma agar tests) for detection of V. parahaemolyticus in shrimp, water, sediment, and stool...

background: successful embryo transfer (et) technique is a fateful step of all efforts to achieve live births from in vitro produced embryos in assisted reproductive techniques or in knockout, transgenic or cloned animal projects. small reproductive tract of mice and limitation of current techniques may not well satisfy the requirements for mass production of genetically modified mice. genetic ...

We describe a new type of Fourier transform (FT) interferometer in which the tunable optical delay between the two arms is realized by using a continuously variable slow-light medium instead of a moving arm as in a conventional setup. The spectral resolution of such a FT interferometer exceeds that of a conventional setup of comparable size by a factor equal to the maximum group index of the sl...

Just like in conventional desktop computing, medium support should also be provided in mobile computing. However, the medium support for mobile computing has a fundamental requirement: it should be not only efficient but also adaptive. The impact of this requirement is so great that any aspect of medium support has to be newly addressed. This paper describes achievements of our investigation of...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE There is resurgence of tuberculosis in recent years in spite of availability of comprehensive multidrug therapy. Conventional culture media require a long time for the appearance of growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, while the other methods are expensive. Hence, a rapid low cost and safe bilayered medium was developed for early growth and sensitivity testing of M. tube...

Abstract Synthesis of water‐soluble‐substituted pyridinium cation which is attached with base sensitive fluorophore peripheral units different inorganic counter anions under conventional/silica‐supported Muffle furnace methods. Solvent‐free synthetic approach has more merits than the conventional method, such as non‐toxic, shorter reaction time, easy workup procedure without purification proces...

an experiment was carried out to develop and evaluate a semi-purified diet suitable for fiber related studies without negative impacts on performance, serum biochemistry and intestinal morphology of growing japanese quails. total of 144 japanese quail chicks were used in a factorial arrangement using completely randomized design with 6 treatments, 4 replicates of 6 quails in each replicate. the...
