background: although infectious diseases are the most common sources for the fever of unknown origin (fuo), but the spectrum of infectious diseases is changing overtime. the purpose of the study was to define the clinical spectrum and changing the pattern of fuo.methods: this existing data based study was undertaken from 2007 to 2011. one hundred-six patients fulfilling the modified criteria fo...

Fungus-resistant grapes (FRGs), or pilzwiderstandfähig (PIWI) in German, are obtained through crossbreeding Vitis vinifera and other species. FRG adoption is among the most promising strategies to pursue improve sustainability wine industry; however, actual spread impact on will largely depend designation certification possibilities procedures for wines, line with framework set by European Unio...

photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to formaldehyde was investigated on four semiconductor photocatalysts (fes, fes/fes2, nio and tio2). the reaction was carried out in continues flow of co2 gas bubbled into the reactor. semiconductor photocatalysts were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopic (drs) methods. sulfide ion was used as hole scavenger. t...

In this paper, we propose a new minimum total communication distance (TCD) algorithm and an optimal TCD algorithm for broadcast in a 2-dimension mesh. The former generates a minimum TCD from a given source node, and the latter guarantees a minimum TCD among all the possible source nodes. These algorithms can be generalized to a d-dimensional mesh or torus. TCD can potentially be used as a measu...

Historically, the productivity–quality dualism has been fundamentally oriented toward productivity in Castilla-La Mancha (Spain), and more specifically, Valdepeñas Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). Today this trend is balanced involves another factor: environment. From perspective, soil quality conservation enhancement one major sustainable viticulture goals today. This study explores char...

The genetic diversity of lactococci isolated from raw milk in the Camembert cheese Registered Designation of Origin area was studied. Two seasonal samples (winter and summer) of raw milk were obtained from six farms in two areas (Bessin and Bocage Falaisien) of Normandy. All of the strains analyzed had a Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis phenotype, whereas the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA ...

Re-using and regenerating derelict abandoned areas constitutes an important element in sustainable land use policy planning. This paper explores the phenomenon of farm premises South Bohemia, Czech Republic. It analyses origin extent this as well targets applied to such sites by planning documents. A large number have emerged on former collectivized lands. According local territorial zoning pla...
