Metaphor in a particular scientific zoological discourse in the Russian and Kazakh languages has not become the object of researchers' attention yet. The comparison of the results of the cognitive mechanism of analogy in the zoological discourse in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 12 · 13 Dec 2016 · 7,543 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nanocomposite for Biomimetic Scaffolds Design and PreparationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Roberto Sorrentino et al.Biomimetics, biomechanics and tissue engineering are three multidisciplinary fields that have been contemplated in this research to attain the objective of improving prosthetic implants reliability. Since testing and mathematical methods are closely interlaced, a promising approach seemed to be the combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments with computer simulations (in silico). An innovative biomimetics and biomechanics approach and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,276 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractA Case of Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Exophiala oligosperma in a Renal Transplant Patient Successfully Treated with PosaconazoleAsaph C Levy, Sameer Rehman, Deanna A Sutton et al.Phaeohyphomycosis is an uncommon mycotic infection caused by dematiaceous fungi. We report a 53-year-old male who presented with phaeohyphomycosis on his upper extremities, 6 months after renal transplantation. Biopsy revealed pigmented moniliform hyphae and cultures grew Exophiala oligosperma. The lesions completely resolved after 3 months of treatment with posaconazole. …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 22 Jun 2015 · 8,032 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Fungal Communities in Limed and Unlimed Lands Contaminated with Metals: Phospholipid Fatty Acid (PLFA) Analysis and Soil RespirationKassandre Goupil, Kabwe K. Nkongolo, Sabah NasserullaNorthern Ontario (Canada) especially the Greater Sudbury region is highly known for its nickel, copper and other metal deposits. The mining, roasting and smelting of these elements have caused disastrous effects on the vegetation and overall environment. Dolomitic lime which contains calcium and magnesium carbonate was applied to soils from 1980 to 1995 at different locations across Northern Ontario. The … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2015 · 8,100 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEndotoxin Activity Assay: An Experience of a Southern-Italy HospitalLinda Degl’Innocenti, Flaviano Di Paola, Rizzo Marianna, Gerardino AmatoEndotoxin activity assay is a novel and rapid test capable of differentiating Gram-negative sepsis from infections carried by other bacteria. The test, moreover, represents a useful tool in the management of the septic patient. We show the data collected during a 6-year period experience, related to samples from septic patients admitted in ICU; for each patient we performed an EAA … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 5 Jan 2015 · 7,168 accessesView PDF Cite
