thirty-five fungal strains which isolated from vegetable wastes, were screened for the use of polygalacturonic acid as the sole carbon source. twenty-five isolates were positive for polygalacturonase activity in cup-plate assay, as evidenced by clear hydrolysation zones. the most productive strain was determined by measuring clear zones formed around colonies stained with ruthenium red. the hig...

Poly(L/D)lactide 96/4 fibres with diameters of 50 and 80 microm were produced. The smaller diameter fibres were carded and needle punched to form a non-woven mat. Fibres and non-woven mats were hydrolysed for a period of 20 weeks. Fibres and pressed non-woven discs were treated with low-temperature oxygen plasma and alkaline KOH hydrolysis and ethanol washing was used as a reference treatment. ...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. PURPOSE To evaluate the initial fixation using the cortical bone trajectory (CBT) technique for posterior lumbar fusion through assessment of the clear zones around the screws and the risk factors involved. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Postoperative radiolucent zones (clear zones) are an indicator of poor conventional pedicle screw fixation. METHODS Between Jan...

This paper proposes a fully automated approach to map and assess roadside clearance parameters using mobile Light Detection Ranging (lidar) data on rural highways. Compared with traditional manual surveying methods, lidar could provide more efficient cost-effective source extract information. study novel voxel-based raycasting focused primarily automating mapping assessment. First, the scanning...

BACKGROUND The clinical practice of pediatric anesthesiology has changed with a transition to the use of cuffed endotracheal tubes (ETTs) in infants and children. The monitoring of intracuff pressure has been suggested as one means to limit the potential for damage to the tracheal mucosa. The current study evaluates the accuracy of a novel, color-coded syringe device which provides three zones ...

The kinetics of nutrients digestion and development chyme characteristics in African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) were assessed response to fishmeal hydrolysation non-protein energy (NPE) sources. Four diets formulated contain starch or fat as NPE source, hydrolysed protein source a 2 × factorial design. Juvenile (average weight, 63 g) stocked glass experimental tanks connected common recircula...
