Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBacteriological Examination of Computer Keyboards and Mouse Devices and Their Susceptibility Patterns to DisinfectantsOnochie Charles Chimezie, Anyim Chukwudi, Alo Moses Nnaemeka et al.Computers are ubiquitous and have been shown to be contaminated with potentially pathogenic bacteria in some communities. There is no economical way to test all the keyboards and mouse out there, but there are common-sense ways to prevent bacterial contamination or eliminate it if it exists. In this study, swabs specimens were collected from surfaces of 250 computer keyboards and … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2013 · 13,509 accessesView PDF Cite

In this report we examine the efficacy of tigecycline and comparators against isolates of Staphylococcus aureus collected from blood. Approach: Almost 4000 blood-derived isolates of Staphylococcus aureus were collected from participating … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,469 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of Liquefaction Return Period for Bangalore Based on Standard Penetration Test Data: Performance Based ApproachK. S. Vipin, T. G. SitharamProblem statement: The conventional liquefaction evaluation is based on a deterministic approach. However in this method the uncertainty in the earthquake loading is not properly taken into account. However recent research in this field indicates that this uncertainty in the earthquake loading has to be considered in the liquefaction potential evaluation. Moreover the evaluation of liquefaction return period is not … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,741 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSelective Susceptibility of Human Bladder Transitional Cell Carcinoma T24 Cells towards NBD PeptideSankari Durairajan, Charles Emmanuel Jebaraj Walter, Kalaiselvi Periyandavan et al.Bladder cancer is a recurrent disease that often develops chemoresistance and is on the rise in developing countries. After diagnosis surgery followed by immunotherapy and/or chemo- radiation therapy are the available treatments. These treatments do not provide protection against disease progression or recurrence thus highlighting the need to identify and develop drugs that are capable of inhibiting bladder cancer. T24 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 20 Apr 2020 · 7,787 accessesView PDF Cite
