The relation between concentration of thymolphthalein monophosphate substrate and catalytic activity was investigated for the determination of prostatic acid phosphatase. This study, an extension of previously reported work (Clin. Chem. 27: 1372, 1981), shows that lot-to-lot variation in purity of thymolphthalein monophosphate preparations is reflected in substrate-velocity curves. Plateau regi...

To build awareness of the development of ant colony optimization (ACO), this study clarifies the citation and bibliometric analysis of research publications of ACO during 1996–2010. This study analysed 12,960 citations from a total of 1372 articles dealing with ACO published in 517 journals based on the databases of SCIE, SSCI and AH&CI, retrieved via the Web of Science. Bradford Law and Lotka’...

Monetary transactions are integral part of our day to day activities, so currency authentication has become one of the active research area at present and it has vast potential applications. In this paper we introduced a system to verify the authentication of banknotes bench mark dataset using computer vision. We considered 1372 samples of various bank notes in our work. The technology of curre...

Video lectures in massive open online courses (MOOCs) provide an opportunity to not only deliver instructional content but also engage learners. While there are many different styles of video lectures, it is clear how affect learner engagement. This study analysed and critiqued typologies classified MOOC on a speaker-centric media-centric spectrum. A total 1372 survey responses were used for da...

Production of baicalein, baicalin and wogonin by liquid culture of Scutellaria baicalensis cells derived from the plant root was studied. The maximum production obtained were 119 mg/L of baicalein at two week, 1372 mg/L of baicalin at eight week, and 14 mg/L of wogonin at two week. In addition, the production of baicalin was drastically increased to 1000 mg/L level at 3-week culture, and the ex...

The Ministry of Health recommended in Benin, since 2004, artemisinin-based combination, artemether– lumtefantrine (Coartem), therapy for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria. To resolve the difficulties related to observance, we are interested in a new combination, artemisinin–naphthoquine (Arco). A study was conducted to assess and compare the efficacy and tolerability of the fixed combinati...

Antibodies specific for DNA:RNA hybrids were coated onto polystyrene test tubes and applied to hybridization assays involving DNA and RNA. Synthetic DNA probes complementary to 16S rRNA of Campylobacter were labeled with biotin and hybridized to ribosomal RNA directly in lysates of bacterial cells. After hybridization, DNA:RNA hybrids were captured with immobilized anti-DNA:RNA antibody, and th...
