Tn5 lacZ mutants were generated with Azospirillum brasilense 7030 by mating that strain with Escherichia coli strains carrying suicide plasmid pCIB100 or pCIB110. Kanamycin-resistant Azospirillum colonies were obtained with a maximum frequency of 10(-6) per recipient cell. The potential of Tn5 lacZ for random transposon mutagenesis coupled to transcription analysis in A. brasilense 7030 was dem...

ften in our hurry to create the future in computer engineering, we ignore lessons from past projects. One project that offers interesting insights, the IBM System/360 Model 91, recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of its first shipment. The largest member of the series based on IBM’s most enduring and influential computer architecture, this machine owed much to its predecessors. Together, t...

In this paper, we propose a fuzzy aggregate production planning (APP) model for blending problem in a brass factory which is the problem of computing optimal amounts of raw materials for the total production of several types of brass in a period. The model has deterministic and imprecise parameters which follows triangular possibility distributions. The brass casting APP model can not always be...

BACKGROUND Knee and hip arthroplasty constitutes a large percentage of hospital elective surgical procedures. The Blaylock Risk Assessment Screening Score (BRASS) was designed to identify patients in need of discharge planning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the BRASS was associated with length of stay (LOS) in hospital following elective arthroplasty. METHODS We retrospect...

One of the effects plant fertility is addition compost which contains bioactivators. bioactivators that can be used in composting process to use MOL (Local Microorganisms). made from various types organik waste around us, such as Banana Stem, Used/Stale Rice, Used/Rotten Fruits, and also EM4 purchased at a farm shop. The different materials added will affect quality produced based on SNI 19-703...

In passive scattering proton therapy, patient specific collimators (apertures) are used to laterally shape the proton beam, and compensators are employed to distally conform proton dose to the target. Brass is a commonly used material for apertures and recently a hybrid brass/stainless-steel (BR/SST) aperture design has been introduced to reduce treatment cost without clinical flow change. We m...
