2014 The heat capacity of biphenyl has been measured between 10 and 50 K. Although no specific heat anomalies could be seen at 15 or 40 K, where phase transitions are known to exist, the results are not inconsistent with a transition enthalpy smaller than 10 J.K-1. mol-1 at 40 K. At this temperature, the thermal equilibrium times changed abruptly. J. I’lij,si(lue LETTRES 41 (1980) L-83 L-85 15 ...

background: the widespread utilization of antimicrobial compounds has caused emergence of resistant microorganisms in the world. hence, the research to probe the products with antimicrobial features has led to finding natural habitats and discovering new pharmaceutical products. methods: in this study, an attempt was made to explore the niche of novel habitat to isolate pyllospheric bacteria fr...

The gene encoding surfactant protein-A (SP-A) is developmentally regulated in type II cells of the fetal lung. In humans there are two SP-A genes, SP-A1 and SP-A2. The SP-A2 gene is more highly regulated by cAMP and during fetal development than SP-A1. In earlier studies we determined that 296 bp of sequence flanking the 5'-end of the SP-A2 gene is sufficient to mediate high basal and cAMP-indu...

background identification of novel pathogenic bacteria always has a crucial role in clinical microbiology to defeat uncontrolled diseases. objectives sample preparation platform has been developed for rapid and simple detection of infectious organisms from the point of care diagnostics and molecular manipulation by using three novel genomic dna isolation protocols. materials and methods most of...

screening and identification of moderately halophilic protease producing bacteria from different regions of maharloo, a hypersaline lake in the southern area of iran, were the objectives of this study. in the preliminary screening, 16 isolates exhibited proteolytic activity on saline skim milk agar. all isolates were able to grow comfortably in the media containing 7-15% of salt. protease activ...
