Exposure of the human food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes to sublethal concentrations of triclosan can cause resistance to several aminoglycosides. Aminoglycoside-resistant isolates exhibit two colony morphologies: normal-size and pinpoint colonies. The purposes of the present study were to characterize the small colonies of L. monocytogenes and to determine if specific genetic changes c...

Advertising signage installed in public spaces is intended to be seen by passersby increase recognition. However, display blindness often occurs because people either assume that the displayed content not relevant them or blurs into their surroundings and they remain unaware of it. To improve advertisement recognition, it necessary solve blindness. Although emitting a sound might solution make ...

Real-time position estimation for a descent lander is a critical technological need for many planned NASA missions. In particular, it enables the ability to land precisely and safely in a scientifically promising but hazardous site and is a key technology to be demonstrated by NASA in the next decade. The primary question of pinpoint landing is how to localize the lander by recognizing landmark...

Background:Olanzapine is a highly tolerable and easily affordable atypical antipsychotic drug which has been commonly prescribed in both inpatient and outpatient settings for several mental disorders. Olanzapine overdose is commonly seen in psychiatric patients, who attempt suicide by intoxicating themselves with their own prescribed medications. Increased olanzapine use is associated with incr...

Mixed microbial culture (MMC) electrofermentation (EF) represents a promising tool to drive metabolic pathways toward the production of specific compound. Here, MMC-EF process has been exploited obtain butyric acid in simplified membrane-less reactors operated by applying difference potential between two low-cost graphite electrodes. Ten values voltage difference, from −0.60 V −1.5 V, have test...
