Diarrhoeal stool specimens from 415 patients were examined for Campylobacter spp. by culture on charcoal cefoperazone deoxycholate agar (CCDA), Skirrow medium and Columbia blood agar overlaid with a 0.65 micron pore size membrane filter. Forty-eight Campylobacter strains were isolated from 45 (10.8%) specimens by all media; 44 were Campylobacter jejuni (91.7%), three were Campylobacter coli (6.3%) and one was Campylobacter hyointestinalis (2.0%). The percentages of Campylobacter-positive specimens isolated on Skirrow medium, CCDA and the membrane filter were 62, 82 and 95%, respectively. The recovery of more Campylobacter spp. from the same stool sample was achieved by the membrane filter method only. The highest isolation rate (100%) was observed when culture on CCDA and the membrane filter method were combined.

The global scarcity of irrigation-grade water poses severe concerns in the agricultural sector. Desalination techniques including reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, capacitive deionization, membrane filtration, and multi-stage flash are some dynamic solutions to mitigate this challenge. In this study, novel bio-filter materials were explored and developed for the application of membrane-based electrodialysis.

Here, we report a SERS based VFA using PNC as a sensing substrate for highly sensitive multiplex mycotoxins detection. The PNC was fabricated by filtration-based self-assembled monodisperse SiO NPs on a filter membrane as a template, and the obtained PNC had an ordered complementary inverse opal structure. In parallel, three kinds of Raman dyes encoding Au@Ag, Au@Ag and Au@Ag SERS nanotags were synthesized for the detection of OTA, AFB1 and ZON.

Microtiter-plate-based systems are unified platforms of high-throughput experimentation (HTE). These polymeric devices are used worldwide on a daily basis-mainly in the pharmaceutical industry-for parallel syntheses, reaction optimization, various preclinical studies and high-throughput screening methods. Accordingly, laboratory automation today aims to handle these commercially available multiwell plates, making developments focused on their modifications a priority area of modern applied research.

The brain faces the challenging task of preserving a consistent portrayal of the external world in the face of disruptive sensory inputs. What alterations occur in sensory representation amidst noise, and how does brain activity adapt to it? Although it has previously been shown that background white noise (WN) decreases responses to salient sounds, a mechanistic understanding of the brain processes responsible for such changes is lacking. We investigated the effect of background WN on neuronal spiking activity, membrane potential, and network oscillations in the mouse central auditory system.
