Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (bTB), is a multihost pathogen of public health and veterinary importance. We characterized the M. bovis isolated at the human-livestock-wildlife interface of the Serengeti ecosystem to determine the epidemiology and risk of cross-species transmission between interacting hosts species. DNA was extracted from mycobacterial cultures ...

Dyes are widely used in various industries, since theirdirect discharge to nature can cause many biological and environmental problems. Some of these dyes are toxic, carcinogenic and can cause skin and eye irritation. There are various dye removal techniques, but Adsorption found to be very effective and cheap method among the all available dye removal methods. The purpose of this study was to ...

Aldose reductase (AR2), a putative "hypertonicity stress protein" whose gene is induced by hyperosmolarity, protects renal medullary cells against the interstitial hyperosmolarity of antidiuresis by catalyzing the synthesis of millimolar concentrations of intracellular sorbitol from glucose. Although AR2 gene induction has been noted in a variety of renal and nonrenal cells subjected to hyperto...

Full Bayes linear intervention models have been recently proposed to conduct before-after safety studies. These models assume linear slopes to represent the time and treatment effects across the treated and comparison sites. However, the linear slope assumption can only furnish some restricted treatment profiles. To overcome this problem, a first-order autoregressive (AR1) safety performance fu...

Let p(x1, ..., xm) = ∑ r1+···+rm=n ar1,...,rm ∏ 1≤i≤m x ri i be a homogeneous polynomial of degree n in m variables. We call such polynomial H-Stable if p(z1, ..., zm) 6= 0 provided that the real parts Re(zi) > 0 : 1 ≤ i ≤ m. It can be assumed WLOG that the coefficients ar1,...,rm := aR ≥ 0. This notion from Control Theory is closely related to the notion of Hyperbolicity intensively used in th...
