Case ReportOpen accessAll words, across the recordChromomycosis: Case Reports of Exuberant Forms Including Carcinomatous DegenerationCarla Andréa Avelar Pires, Aline de Lima Dias, Adriana Kamilly Leitão Pitman Machado et al.Chromomycosis, or chromomycosis, is a chronic, progressive cutaneous and subcutaneous mycosis caused by several species of pheoid or dermaticeous (darkly pigmented) fungi. It mainly affects male patients, in the age group between 30 and 60 years and is more common on rural areas, being associated to traumatic events, which may explain the high frequency of involvement of the lower limbs … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2019 · 7,758 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImprovement on Extracellular Production of Recombinant Burkholderia cepacia Lu10-1 Lipase by Escherichia coliYao Zhang, Yuanda Song, Lu Wang, Qing LiuThe purpose of this study was to investigate several strategies on enhancing extracellular production of recombinant lipase from Burkholderia cepacia Lu10-1 in recombinant Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). In the present study, a fed-batch fermentation strategy for the excellular production of lipase by E. coli has been established. First of all, different induction methods (including selection of inducers, inducer concentration, induction temperature … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 May 2018 · 11,539 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordReliability Equivalence Factors of a Parallel System Subject to Weibull Distribution Using Multivariate FGM CopulaNeama Salah Youssef TemrazThis paper analyze a parallel system consisted of n dependent components with lifetimes follow Weibull distribution. FGM Copula in multivariate case is used to generate the reliability function of the original system. Reduction method is introduced to improve system reliability. Other methods of hot, cold and warm duplication are established to improve system reliability. An application using real time data … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2018 · 7,940 accessesView PDF Cite
