Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus are two species able to produce aflatoxins in foodstuffs, and in particular in hazelnuts, at harvest and during postharvest phase. As not all the strains of these species are aflatoxin producers, it is necessary to develop techniques that can detect aflatoxigenic from not aflatoxigenic strains. Two assays, a…[Read more]

All genes were constitutively expressed in all four tested tissues. Interestingly, we found time-dependent and stress-specific gene expression patterns under high and low salinity stresses. Under the recurring high salinity stresses, DNMT3a1 and TET1 conformed to the definition of memory genes, while under the recurring low salinity stresses, two…[Read more]

depressive symptoms have been widely reported among people living with HIV (PLHIV) around the world. The extent of this on PLHIV in the Arabian Peninsula is unclear. This study aims to examine the prevalence of depressive symptoms using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) in adult Omani patients with HIV attending a tertiary care hospital.…[Read more]

To understand patients’ qualitative experiences with the Support, Educate, Empower (SEE) personalized glaucoma coaching program, provide a richer understanding of the components of the intervention that were useful in eliciting behavior change, and understand how to improve the SEE Program.

The application of efficient global optimization is extended to estimate surrogate prediction error with less computational cost using a jackknife leave-one-out estimator. RHPS 4 cell line This paper examines the challenges of such a robust multi-objective optimization for FOPID control of a five-bar linkage robot manipulator. The results show the…[Read more]

The experimental setup demonstrated comparable results with the simulation during the braking test. The proposed system with load-sensing bearings is aimed at estimation of the loads acting on the wheels, which serve as input parameters for active safety systems, such as automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, or fully automated driving, in…[Read more]

For blocks shaped scraps, when nozzle pressure is high, the separation distance increase with the increase of conveyor belt speed, when nozzle pressure is low, the separation distance decrease with the increase of conveyor belt speed. The nozzle pressure (P) was found to have the most noticeable impact on separation distance for block shaped…[Read more]

The findings from this research show that NaAlg-g-DPA has capability to remove Co (II) from aqueous solutions.Juvenile hormone diol kinase (JHDK) is an important enzyme involved in the juvenile hormone metabolism pathway, which catalyzes the phosphorylation of juvenile hormone diol to form the polar metabolite JH diol phosphate. Here, we reported…[Read more]
