The in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of Yersinia enterocolitica and newly related species isolated from foods was examined. Only 4 of 375 isolates displayed resistance to non-ss-lactam antibiotics. MICs of ampicillin and carbenicillin determined by agar dilution with respect to 125 isolates showed the high susceptibility of Y. kristensenii and biovar 3 of Y. enterocolitica to carbenicillin...

An algorithm is given for processing pictorial query specifications that consist of a query image and a similarity level that must hold between the query image and database images. The similarity level specifies the contextual similarity (how well the content of one image matches that of another) as well as the spatial similarity (the relative locations of the matching symbols in the two images...

The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical characteristics of seeds in two cultivated bitter landraces of Lupinus albus and two wild Lupinus angustifolius types in Mediterranean environment (Hatay, southern Turkey). Fat quantity and fatty acid quality were considerably different depending on the genotype. L. albus showed the higher oil content (74.0-85.1 g/kg), saturated fatty acids ...

The success of the Human Genome Project (HGP) has provided a blueprint for the approximately 20,000 gene-encoded proteins potentially active in all of the hundreds of cell types that make up the human body. Yet we still have limited knowledge about a majority of the gene-encoded proteins which are the “building blocks of life” and “cellular machinery”. It is estimated that for nearly half of th...

Let M be a right R-module. We call M Rad-H-supplemented iffor each Y M there exists a direct summand D of M such that(Y + D)/D (Rad(M) + D)/D and (Y + D)/Y (Rad(M) + Y )/Y .It is shown that:(1) Let M = M1M2, where M1 is a fully invariant submodule of M.If M is Rad-H-supplemented, thenM1 andM2 are Rad-H-supplemented.(2) Let M = M1 M2 be a duo module and Rad--supplemented. IfM1 is radical M2-...
