Genomic-things

The study of genomic-things is called biology. A genome is a complete set of a species characteristic number of DNA molecules or RNA in some biological viruses. Every individual genomic-thing of all species possesses a genome. A genomic-thing that does not possess a genome does not exist in this world. In our body one chromosome contains only one molecule of DNA. Each cell in our body has 46 chromosomes and therefore, each cell in our body contains 46 DNA molecules. Thus, the size of human (i.e., of Homo sapiens) genome is 46 DNA molecules.

Post-harvest evaluation of 'dekopon' tangerins submitted to different uv radiation time c and refrigeration temperatures

Citriculture has a strong economic impact on the Brazilian trade balance, and the study of the ‘Dekopon’ variety comes as a technological advance meeting the demands of the market. However, this fruit still needs techniques that aim to maintain its post-harvest qualities. Therefore, the objective of this research was to physically and chemically evaluate the 'Dekopon' mandarin fruits by analyzing the influence of the application of different times of type C Ultraviolet Radiation (UVC), associated with different storage temperatures.

The basic psychological need scale (bps) – construct and predictive validity among middle school students with the incorporation of the novelty in the polish context

The content of this article focuses on the construct validity of the Basic Psychological Needs Scale (BPS) within middle school students in Poland. The assessment of students' level of fulfilment of psychological needs can be a powerful tool in enhancing and understanding students' functioning in the school environment and their psychological growth (Deci and Ryan, 2000; Ryan and Deci, 2000, 2002). Theoretical consideration is based on Self-determination theory (SDT) by Deci and Ryan (2000). Theoretical viewpoint is the basis of the empirical part of this article.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and nematofauna in mango plantations (Mangifera indica L. 'Tommy Atkins') produced organically or conventionally in the san Francisco Valley, Brazil

Mango tree is the second most cultivated fruit tree in San Francisco Valley. Nematodes and the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have important roles in the soil can be used to assess its quality. Purpose of this work is to evaluate the nematofauna and AMF in organic and conventional mango plantations. Collection was performed in: organic, conventional farming and Caatinga. The amount of bacteriovoros, omnivores and Helicotylenchus was lower, while fungivores were higher in the conventional cultivation area. Mycorrhizal colonization and density of AMF spores did not differ between areas.

Methodology: The search and selection of articles were carried out in the national database ScieloBrasil and in the international database PubMed.

Early detection of fungal pathogens in patients with immunodeficiency involving a novel biosensor technology

Oportunistic fungi such as Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp. are responsible for development of invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) in cancer patients and patients undergoing stem cell or solid organ transplantation, and are one of the most often causes of mortality in immunodeficient patients. Early fungal pathogen detection is prerequisite for fast intervention and adequate therapy administration. Fast pathogen differentiation between fungi, bacteria or even viral infections is highly required.
