CULTURE-INDEPENDENCE FOR SURVEILLANCE AND EPIDEMIOLOGY

Culture-Independence for Surveillance and Epidemiology

Culture-independent methods in microbiology (quantitative PCR (qPCR), sequencing, microarrays, direct from sample matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectroscopy (MALDI-TOF MS), etc.) are disruptive technology.Rather than providing the same results as culture-based methods more quickly, more cheaply or with improved acc

Examining the effectiveness of discriminant function analysis and cluster analysis in species identification of male field crickets based on their calling songs.

Traditional truvisionhealthftp.com taxonomy based on morphology has often failed in accurate species identification owing to the occurrence of cryptic species, which are reproductively isolated but morphologically identical.Molecular data have thus been used to complement morphology in species identification.The sexual advertisement calls in severa

Nanophosphors-Based White Light Sources

Miniaturization requests and cubs foam finger progress in nanofabrication are prompting worldwide interest in nanophosphors as white-emission mercury-free lighting sources.By comparison with their bulk counterparts, nanophosphors exhibit reduced concentration quenching effects and a great potential to enhance luminescence efficiency and tunability.

THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND POLLUANTS CONTENT OF SOME ECOLOGICAL AND CONVENTIONAL GREEN FORAGE SOURCES FOR DAIRY COW FEED

The quality of feed is very important in dairy milk production.The aim of the current paper was a comparative characterisation in terms of crude chemical composition, Ca and P, heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu), nitrates, nitrites and pesticides, for the natural meadow and green alfalfa, cultivated in ecological and conventional systems, utilised for f
