(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2018 , Article)
Recent advances in mobile technology have created a shift towards using battery-driven devices in remote monitoring settings and smart homes. Clinicians are carrying out diagnostic and screening procedures based on the ...
Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19·1 million participants
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Background Raised blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. We estimated worldwide trends in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of, ...
Towards a Distributed Quality of Service Handler for Multimedia Presentations
(
OMICS International
, 2013 , Article)
Distributed multimedia presentation, involving different media objects on different servers, must strictly follow its defined temporal scenario. Out of synchronization is a fundamental problem in case of distributed ...
Association between Genetic Variants of GC Gene at 4q13.3 and Vitamin D Concentrations in Adult Females
(
Longdom
, 2019 , Article)
Background: Vitamin D binding protein, encoded by the GC gene (on 4q13.3), plays an important role in
transporting vitamin D. Several Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWASs) have established a significant
association ...
K-shell photoionization of O4 + and O5 + ions: Experiment and theory
(
Oxford University Press
, 2017 , Article)
Absolute cross-sections for the K-shell photoionization of Be-like (O4 +) and Li-like (O5 +) atomic oxygen ions were measured for the first time (in their respective K-shell regions) by employing the ion-photon merged-beam ...

(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2015 , Article)
We investigated the horizontal and vertical distribution of heavy metals (Hg, Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, As, Ni, and Cr) in soils in the water source protection zone for Shanghai to study the origins of these metals, their connections ...
Overcome of carbon catabolite repression of bioinsecticides production by sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis through adequate fermentation technology
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2014 , Article)
The overcoming of catabolite repression, in bioinsecticides production by sporeless Bacillus thuringiensisstrain S22 was investigated
into fully controlled 3 L fermenter, using glucose based medium. When applying adequate ...
Application of statistical experimental design for optimisation of bioinsecticides production by sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strain on cheap medium
(
Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia - SBM
, 2014 , Article)
In order to overproduce bioinsecticides production by a sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strain, an optimal composition of a cheap medium was defined using a response surface methodology. In a first step, a Plackett-Burman ...
Isolation of the Bacillus thuringiensis plasmid carrying Bacthuricin F4 coding genes and evidence of its conjugative transfer
(
The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries
, 2014 , Article)
INTRODUCTION:
Conjugation is an excellent natural mode of DNA transfer in vivo between bacteria, particularly when these conjugative elements carry technological traits such as bacteriocin encoding genes. In the present ...
