BACTERIOPHAGES SPECIFIC TO SHIGA TOXIN-PRODUCING ESCHERICHIA COLI EXIST IN GOAT FECES AND ASSOCIATED ENVIRONMENTS ON AN ORGANIC PRODUCE FARM IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, USA.

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STECs) contamination of produce, as a result of contact with ruminant fecal material, has been associated with serious foodborne illness.Bacteriophages (phages) that infect STECs have primarily been reported to be of cattle origin.However, they likely exist in other environments or in animals that share habit

BACKGROUND: To elucidate further from the biomechanical aspect whether microgravity-induced cerebral vascular mal-adaptation might be a contributing factor to postflight orthostatic intolerance and the underlying mechanism accounting for the potential effectiveness of intermittent artificial gravity (IAG) in preventing this adverse effect.METHODOLO

Leymus mollis (2n = 4x = 28, NsNsXmXm) possesses novel and important genes for resistance against multi-fungal diseases.The development of new wheat-L.mollis introgression lines is of great significance for wheat disease resistance breeding.M11003-3-1-15-8, a novel disomic substitution line of common wheat cv.7182 -L.mollis, developed and selected

Mesoscale eddies in the south west Pacific region are prominent ocean features that represent distinctive environments for phytoplankton.Here we examine the seasonal plankton dynamics associated with averaged cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies (CE and ACE, respectively) off eastern Australia.We do this through building seasonal climatologies of mixed

Detection and recognition of traffic panels and their textual information are important applications of advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS).They can significantly contribute in enhancing road safety by optimizing the driving experience.However, these tasks might face two major challenges.First, the lack of suitable and good quality datasets.
