200 µJ, 13 ns Er:ZBLAN mid-infrared fiber laser actively Q-switched by an electro-optic modulator.

We report, as far as we know for the first time, on a pulsed 2.7 µm Er:ZBLAN fiber laser -switched by an electro-optic modulator. The -switched operation was achieved with a repetition rate range of 100 Hz-50 kHz.

Benefit of Dietary Supplementation with Bacillus subtilis BYS2 on Growth Performance, Immune Response, and Disease Resistance of Broilers.

A strain of Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) BYS2 was previously isolated from Mount Tai, which is located in Tai'an City in the Shandong Province of China. The strain was then stored in the Environmental Microbiology Laboratory at Shandong Agricultural University.

High energy closed-loop cycle narrow linewidth optically pumped XeF(C-A) blue laser at a repetition rate of 10 Hz.

We report for the first time on a closed-loop cycle narrow linewidth XeF(C-A) blue laser at a repetition rate of up to 10 Hz with each pulse energy of >1 J. A FWHM linewidth of less than 1.5 nm (minimum to 1.

Prevalence and Genetic Diversity of Isolates from Mineral Water and Spring Water in China.

is an important opportunistic pathogen which is frequently detected in mineral water and spring water for human consumption and causes human urinary tract infections, endocarditis and neonatal sepsis. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, virulence genes, antimicrobial resistance and genetic diversity of from mineral water and spring water in China. Of 314 water samples collected from January 2013 to January 2014, 48 samples (15.

Complete genome sequence of Streptomyces vietnamensis GIMV4.0001 T, a genetically manipulable producer of the benzoisochromanequinone antibiotic granaticin.

We report the complete genome sequence of Streptomyces vietnamensis GIMV4.0001(T), a new and genetically manipulable producer of the benzoisochromanequinone antibiotic granaticin, whose unique sugar attachment pattern in structure has drawn much attention among chemical and biochemical researchers. The genome of S.

[Effect of pulse high volume hemofiltration for treatment of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome].

Objective: To evaluate the effects of pulse high volume hemofiltration (PHVHF) in the treatment of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

Methods: Twenty-five patients with MODS received treatment with PHVHF.

Results: The 25 patients showed significantly decreased BUN, Scr, and K(+) levels after the treatment (P<0.

[Purification of plasmid DNA using anion-exchange chromatography and removal of endotoxin].

The plasmid DNA was purified using the Fractogel EMD TMAE (M) anion exchange media. The dynamic loading capacity of this media for plasmid DNA was 0.62 mg/mL.

10 J energy-level optically pumped XeF(C-A) laser with repetition mode.

An optically pumped XeF(C-A) laser with 0.1-1 Hz pulse-repetition mode is demonstrated. The maximum output energy is up to 18.
