The suitability of solid phase toxin tracking (SPATT) for the detection of dissolved ciguatoxins (CTXs) and maitotoxins (MTXs) was evaluated under in vitro conditions for its possible application to toxin evaluation in Gambierdiscus spp. cultures and in the field. Pacific type 1 CTX (CTX1B) and MTX standards tracked by the DIAON1 HP20 resin were ev

The bulk of the Earth's biosphere is cold (e.g. 90% of the ocean's waters are ≤ 5°C), sustaining a broad diversity of microbial life. The permanently cold environments vary from the deep ocean to alpine reaches and to polar regions. Commensurate with the extent and diversity of the ecosystems that harbour psychrophilic life, the function

Enabling computer systems to recognize facial expressions and infer emotions from them in real time presents a challenging research topic. In this paper, a real-time method is proposed as a solution to the problem of facial expression classification in video sequences. We employ an automatic facial feature tracker to perform face localization and f

Recycled polypropylene/microcrystalline cellulose (rPP/MCC) composites were prepared by adding different loadings of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) coupling agent. The tensile, impact and morphological properties of the composites were investigated. The obtained results show that the tensile and impact strengths of the composites wer

The administration of intrapleural streptokinase (IPSK) is widely practiced in the management of loculated empyema thoracis. To our knowledge, there have been only 4 cases of hemorrhagic complications attributed to the administration of IPSK reported in the literature. In this article, we report a case of a 17-year-old girl who received IPSK and de

The purpose of this note is to give Opial type inequalities with nonlocal conditions. Also, a reverse of the original inequality with y(a) = y(b) = 0 is derived. We apply these inequalities to second-order di�erential equations with nonlocal conditions to derive several necessary conditions for the existence of solutions.KYUNGPOOK Math. J. 51(201

With the advancement in the field of psychology, and the increasing need to look at issues at all levels of human development, a specialised post-graduate program in psychology is a timely offering for a university dedicated to be the innovator in higher education. This paper will present the curriculum and conceptual rationale of the new Masters i

Low yield is a common phenomenon of aromatic rice and consequently rice breeders are trying to develop the agronomic characters to gain a better grain yield. In this study, a total of 53 rice genotypes including 12 globally popular aromatic rice cultivars and 39 advanced breeding lines were evaluated for yield and yield contributing characters in M
