Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Anaerobic Fermentation of Simple Sugars by Yeast Fuels Resistance Candida spp. Infections to Eradication by DrugsNedosa Ikenna Valentine, Utoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu Anastasia, Dan Danjuma et al.Problem statement: Human systemic Candida infections had proved difficult to eradicate by the medical health care system. Some practitioners and scholars see the problem as being due to drug resistance. For example an author wrote that ‘secondary drug resistance is clearly being encountered in one setting, oropharyngeal candidiasis in patients with advanced Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection usually … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 10 Dec 2011 · 7,836 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClamshell vs. Backhoe Excavation of Permeable Reactive BarriersRajandrea Sethi, Steve Day, Antonio Di MolfettaProblem statement: Permeable Reactive Barriers (PRBs) were one of the most widespread solutions for the remediation of contaminated aquifers. Although, a variety of excavation methods had been developed, backhoe (hydraulic excavators) were commonly used for the construction of PRBs in North America. Approach: In Europe, the most common method of slurry excavation was with a hydraulic grab and crane. The … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 4 Nov 2011 · 7,238 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Identification of Epiphytic Lactic Acid Bacteria from Guinea Grass (Panicum maximum)M. Pasebani, H. Yaakub, K. Sijam, A.R. AlimonProblem statement: Bacteria can perform a variety of beneficial functions, for example many lactic acid bacteria are responsible for fermentation of silage in the process of forage conservation. In the making of silage, epiphytic lactic acid bacteria are usually insufficient in numbers to promote efficient lactate fermentation. This study was conducted to identify the predominant indigenous bacteria, with emphasis on … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,482 accessesView PDFCite
