Introduction.Rotavirus here infection is the major cause of severe dehydrating diarrhea requiring hospitalization in young children worldwide.Due to their segmented genome, rotaviruses are capable of gene reassortment, which makes the emergence and spread of genetically novel strains possible.The purpose of this study was to search for unusual rota
The family Lecithoceridae is not well represented in the Palaearctic region, with very few taxa in Europe.Here we describe a new genus and species of lecithocerid moth, Xenotorodor stygioxanthus Sterling, Lees & Grundy, gen.nov., sp.nov.The taxon represents a subfamily new to Europe.We consider placement of the genus within Crocanthinae or
The non-enzymatic browning of glucosamine (GlcN) under UV-C radiation at 25°C, referred to as “cold caramelization”, was examined.Several UV-C exposure times of 0, 20, 60, 120 min at two GlcN concentrations of 15% and 30% were chosen.The physicochemical properties, quantitation of α-dicarbonyl compounds and polyhydroxyalkyl pyrazines, alkylim
Abstract Background Recurrent Clostridium difficile infection is a growing problem among children due to both the increasing survival of medically fragile children with complicated chronic medical conditions resulting in prolonged antibiotic exposure and hospitalization and the emergence of strains of Clostridium difficile that are hypervirulent an
Understanding the effects of polar nanoregions (PNRs) dynamics on dielectric properties is a complex question of essential importance for both fundamental studies of relaxor ferroelectrics and their applications to electro-optic devices.The frequency dependence of dielectric response to the bias electric field opens a brand new window for the study
