Eugenol in water nanoemulsions loaded with tebuconazole appear as a very promising alternative formulations for wood protection against xylophagous fungi that are the main species responsible different rots structures. The dispersions prepared and upon dilution (impregnation mixtures) were characterized by apparent hydrodynamic diameter distribution of oil droplets their long-term stability. im...

Carbapenem- and multiply-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (C-MRAB) are challenging pathogens, often susceptible only to polymyxins and tigecycline. We reviewed clinical outcomes in relation to antibiotic treatment for 166 consecutive patients infected or colonised with these organisms at 18 hospitals around London, UK. Clinical data were obtained along with the isolates, which were typed by pu...

Duplications and changes made on code segments by developers form code clones. Cloned code segments are exactly the same or have a particular similarity. A set of cloned code segments that have the same similarity with each other become a clone group. A clone genealogy contains several clone groups in different revisions and time periods. Based on different textual similarities, there are three...

The aim of the study was to evaluate how specific cutting energy is influenced by variation wood basic density in Eucalyptus spp. clones. Five clones, 10 years old, were used study: three hybrids grandis x urophylla, one and urophylla. From each clone, five trees cut down divided into 2.0 m long logs. In two axial regions trunk (from 2.5 4.5 from 6.5 m) logs boards reduced specimens with dimens...

Efforts to determine the role of specific Ig variable region (V) genes in human autoimmune responses have been hampered by the lack of suitably polymorphic probes. Recently we isolated a heavy chain V (Vh) gene, designated Humhv3005, that is 99% homologous to the 1.9III Vh gene and can encode an anti-DNA antibody. To study the relation between these two genes, different DNA fragments from the i...

considering the rich diversity of grape germplasm of iran, the severe cold winter occurred in 2007, provided a chance to evaluate responses of selected superior clones of iranian seedless grape ciltivars to cold in natural and artificial (in freezer) conditions. four one-year old branches per plant in each clone were selected and number of healthy and damaged sprouts were counted. based on cold...

Apart from inadequate antimicrobial treatment, specific virulence factors contribute to the high attributable mortality of infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae. We explored the roles of MDR and clones as virulence determinants of K. pneumoniae and their interaction with innate immunity. Twenty isolates were studied and characterized by resistance phenotype and mu...
