background: there is a conserved portion in the 16s rrna gene of bacteria which can be amplified by the universal pcr method. this fragment is 996 bp in length. in this method, only one set of universal primers is used for the amplification of the conserved region of the 16s rrna gene, in common bacterial pathogens. therefore, using the universal pcr method, these bacteria are detectable only b...

Like other speakers today, I propose to confine myself to one manifestation of cardiovascular disease, namely ischaemic heart disease (IHD). It is unlikely that there is any single statement one could make about cardio.irascular disease in gcneral, or about IHD in particular, that would command universaI agreement. The natural history of atherosclerosis, the relationship between atherosclerosis...

We present a microscopic description of interface growth with power-law noise distriiurion in the iorm P(qjiiq!'", which exhibits non-universai roughening. For the p = d + 1 case in d + 1 dimensions, the existence of a fractal pattern in the bulk of the aggregate is explained, leading trivially to the proof of the identity a + i = 2 for the roughening and the dynamical scaling exponents a and i...

Introduction. This paper belongs to the theory of polyadic algebras as developed by Haimos [11-15], but it has a bearing on the theory of models. Two central concepts are those of homogeneous(2) and of normal extensions of a polyadic algebra (see the beginning of §2 and of §6). These concepts bear some resemblance to concepts of the theory of algebraic extensions of fields; however, we have bee...
