Identification And Ss-Lactam Resistance In Aquatic Isolates Of Enterobacter Cloacae And Their Status In Microbiota Of Domica Cave In Slovak Karst (Slovakia), Barbora Gaalova, Alena Donauerova, Milan Seman, Helena Bujdakova Jan 2014

Identification And Ss-Lactam Resistance In Aquatic Isolates Of Enterobacter Cloacae And Their Status In Microbiota Of Domica Cave In Slovak Karst (Slovakia), Barbora Gaalova, Alena Donauerova, Milan Seman, Helena Bujdakova

International Journal of Speleology

Domica Cave is located in the Slovak Karst National Park in southern Slovakia. Heterotrophic cultivable psychrophilic and mesophilic microbiota were confirmed to be prevalent in this cave. Escherichia coli was the most abundant bacterium, followed by Enterobacter species and Serrratia species. Enterobacter cloacae isolates belong to the group of faecal contaminants (coliforms) of concern in water. Their status in cave ecosystem is questionable, but we observed E. cloacae in water samples all years round suggesting an autochthonous origin. We were concerned with possible contamination of the cave water with resistant E. cloacae from animal farms located 2-3 km from the …


Study Of Filled Dolines By Using 3d Stereo Image Processing And Electrical Resistivity Imaging, Mateja Breg Valjavec Jan 2014

Study Of Filled Dolines By Using 3d Stereo Image Processing And Electrical Resistivity Imaging, Mateja Breg Valjavec

International Journal of Speleology

This article deals with doline degradation due to uncontrolled waste dumping in the past in the Logatec Polje in Slovenia. It introduces a concept for determining 3D geometric characteristics (shape, depth, radius, area, and volume) of formerly concave landforms (i.e., recently filled dolines) by using a combination of two methods: (1) photogrammetric stereo processing of archival aerial photographs and (2) electrical resistivity imaging (ERI). To represent, visualize, and study the characteristics of the former surface morphology (i.e., the dolines before they were filled), a digital terrain model (DTM) for 1972 (DTM1972) was made using digital photogrammetry processing of five sequential …

Analytical Solution Of The Klein-Gordon Equation Under The Coulomb-Like Scalar Plus Vector Potential With The Laplace Transforms Approach, Ebrahim Momtazi, Ali Akbar Rajabi, Bentol Hoda Yazarloo, Hassan Hassanabadi Jan 2014

Analytical Solution Of The Klein-Gordon Equation Under The Coulomb-Like Scalar Plus Vector Potential With The Laplace Transforms Approach, Ebrahim Momtazi, Ali Akbar Rajabi, Bentol Hoda Yazarloo, Hassan Hassanabadi

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this paper, analytical solution of the Klein-Gordon equation with Coulomb-like scalar plus vector potentials is obtained exactly. We considered the Laplace transform approach in our calculation. The exact bound state energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions are reported for various values of the quantum numbers n and l.


Octonion Symmetric Dirac-Maxwell Equations, Bhupesh Chandra Chanyal Jan 2014

Octonion Symmetric Dirac-Maxwell Equations, Bhupesh Chandra Chanyal

Turkish Journal of Physics

We know that the octonion algebra is the largest division algebra. Therefore, we have discussed the octonion 8-dimensional space as the combination of 2 (external and internal) 4-dimensional spaces. The octonion wave equations in terms of 8 components has been written in terms of an 8 x 8 matrix. Octonion forms of potential as well as fields equations of dyons in terms of an 8 x 8 matrix are discussed in a consistent manner. At last, we have obtained the generalized Dirac-Maxwell equations of dyons in two 4-dimensional spaces, from the 8 x 8 matrix representation of octonion wave equations. …


Zno-Based Nanostructures For Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor, Millaty Mustaqima, Chunli Liu Jan 2014

Zno-Based Nanostructures For Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor, Millaty Mustaqima, Chunli Liu

Turkish Journal of Physics

Since the prediction by Dietl et al. in the year 2000, extensive research activities have been focused on the ZnO-based diluted magnetic materials (DMSs). Earlier works were mainly performed using bulk or thin film materials with transition-metal doping, and diverse magnetic properties including ferromagnetism, paramagnetism, and diamagnetism have been reported. Identifying the dominant mechanism of the ferromagnetic ordering and realizing reproducible ferromagnetism above room temperature have been the main research issues, but a consensus is still lacking even today. Recently, reports on ZnO nanostructures with ferromagnetic behavior have been growing due to the novel properties brought about by the high …


Processing Of Germanium For Integrated Circuits, Ray Duffy, Maryam Shayesteh, Ran Yu Jan 2014

Processing Of Germanium For Integrated Circuits, Ray Duffy, Maryam Shayesteh, Ran Yu

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this review paper the authors will focus on Ge processing for integrated circuits. The key areas that require the most attention are substrates and integration, gate dielectrics, and access resistance. We will discuss each of these topics in turn, while also reviewing the most scaled Ge field-effect-transistor devices, and consider how modelling activities have matured for Ge in recent years.


Promoting Critical Reflexivity Through Arts-Based Media: A Case Study, Christopher Trevelyan, Rory Crath, Adrienne Chambon Jan 2014

Promoting Critical Reflexivity Through Arts-Based Media: A Case Study, Christopher Trevelyan, Rory Crath, Adrienne Chambon

School for Social Work: Faculty Publications

As an increasingly central focus of social work pedagogy, critical reflexivity can be distinguished from non-critical forms of reflexivity by its emphasis on the socially constructed, power-laden nature of knowledge and subjectivity, and its embracement of anxiety and other difficult emotions in social work practice. Given the in actu nature of its processes, however, critical reflexivity poses particular challenges as a teaching objective for social work educators. In order to assess the potential of arts-based media to engender critical forms of reflexivity in social work audiences, qualitative inquiry was conducted on social workers' experience of an arts-based video installation on …

Objective This study aimed to study the comorbidity of common mental disorders (CMDs) and cancer, and the mental health treatment gap among community residents with active cancer, cancer survivors and cancer-free respondents in 13 high-income and 11 low-middle-income countries. Methods Data were derived from the World Mental Health Surveys (N = 66,387; n = 357 active cancer, n = 1373 cancer survivors, n = 64,657 cancer-free respondents). The World Health Organization/Composite International Diagnostic Interview was used in all surveys to estimate CMDs prevalence rates. Respondents were also asked about mental health service utilization in the preceding 12 months. Cancer status …
