Efficacy of Ultraviolet Radiation to Control Lactic Acid Bacteria in Wine Must
… were quantified pre- and post-treatment using a dilution series on MRS agar. The UV<sub>c</sub> treatment resulted in a significant reduction of LAB by an average of 52.7% with a 95% confidence interval for three replicates of three trials<sub>.</sub> These data are compared to industry standards …

Assessment of the Efficacy of a Constructed Wetland to Reduce or Remove Wastewater Effluent Estrogenicity and Toxicity Using Biomarkers in Male Fathead Minnows (Pimephales Promelas Rafinesque, 1820)
… summer testing included exposure to an effluent dilution series. Fish condition heavily influenced interpretation of the results. Pre-acclimation exposure to spawning stresses may have altered many of the biological markers measured. Results are discussed relative to fish health and pre-exposure …

Synthesis, Characterization, Critical Micelle Concentration and Antimicrobial Activity of Two-headed Amphiphiles
This project is about the synthesis of homologous series of two-headed, long-chain amphiphiles (the 2CCbn series, where n = 16, 18, 20, 22, 30, 5α-cholestan-3Ã -ol). The 2CCbn series was synthesized in five steps. The first step involves a reaction of nitroethane and two equivalents of tert-butyl …

Contact Allergy to Textile Dyes - Clinical and Chemical Studies on Disperse Dyes
… when tested with thin-layer chromatograms and a dilution series of commercial and purified D Blue 106 and D Blue 124.

The production of foot-and-mouth disease virus-like particles in the plant Nicotiana benthamiana: a potential candidate vaccine for foot-and-mouth disease
… to purify protein extracts. Comparison against a dilution series of bovine serum albumin was used to quantify the yield for each respective vector construct by densitometry. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) imaging was used to qualitatively determine virus-like particle (VLP) assembly. In …

Contact allergy to fragrances with a focus on oak moss absolute
… and untreated OMA samples in patch tests with dilution series and in repeated open application tests (ROATs), and iv) to investigate the reaction pattern in OMA-allergic subjects patch-tested with thin-layer chromatography (TLC) strips of treated and untreated OMA samples. The findings were as …

Discovery, surveillance, and management of herbicide-resistant amaranthus spp
… zeatin in the absence of IAA. Utilizing a linear dilution series, zeatin was determined to be unable to elicit shoot organogenesis under tested conditions. Continued utilization of dilution series of alternative cytokinins, such as 6-benzylaminopurine and thidiazuron, is expected to increase the …

Molecular detection of the apicomplexan parasite 'X' (APX) in bivalves in New Zealand
… exitiosa. Several approaches, including using a dilution series method, direct comparisons with histology results, and testing on DNA of other apicomplexan species were performed to prove that the PCR method has strong analytical and diagnostic sensitivity, as well as good analytical specificity …

Silene otites (Caryophyllaceae): Attraction of nectar-seeking mosquitoes to inflorescence odours, and temporal variation of flower scent and flower visitors
… males and females responded similarly to dilution series but the strength of the responses differed among compounds. Linalool oxide (furanoid) and linalool evoked the strongest responses in male and female mosquitoes, and (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate was strongly active in females. Further, the …

Development and application of a PCR multiplex to assess the quality and quantity of forensic DNA extracts
… peak height compared to input DNA of a standard dilution series produced a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.8308. The multiplex was found to provided reasonable estimates of DNA concentration, when the sample concentration was between 12.5 – 100 ng; relative standard deviations were all …

Statistical modeling of protein lysate array data
The protein lysate array is an emerging technology for quantifying the protein concentration ratios in multiple biological samples. It is gaining popularity, and has the potential to answer questions about post-translational modifications and protein pathway relationships. Statistical inference for …

Understanding the complex aroma chemistry of premium aged rums
… 64 odor-active compounds. Aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) provided a ranking of the potency of odorants. The most potent rum ordorants, although not necessasarily present in every rum, were found to be acetal (melon), 2-/3-methyl-1-butanol (chocolate), β-damascenone (applesauce), …
