The synthesis of a poly(methacrylamide) bearing 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine inspired from the chemical composition of mussel adhesives will be presented. This homopolymer is designed to insure a multilayer film growth by covalent coupling during the layer-by-layer building with a homopolymer containing amino groups. The film cross-linking is initiated by adequately controlling both the redox state of the polymer and the pH of the solutions. This cross-linking is evidenced by solid-state 13C NMR with the occurrence of a typical signal of imine, traducing the Schiff base formation during film growth. The same coupling reaction is implemented for grafting an antibacterial peptide, Nisin, on a stainless steel substrate. Antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis is preserved even after long immersion time, as the result of the peptide covalent anchoring on the surface. All the processing steps, including the synthesis of the polymers and the peptide grafting, are performed in aqueous solutions under mild conditions. [less ▲]

Many Diptera, spread across the globe are likely to play a role in the transmission of various human and animal diseases. Mosquitoes in particular, give rise to various countries on research increasingly expanded and deepened. To better understand the structure of the Culicidae at cattle farms in Belgium and identify habitats favorable to the development of each species, a taxonomic inventory was conducted in 2008 and 2009 in ten different sites. They fall into five natural regions: Condroz, Ardenne, Fagne-Famenne, Lorraine and Compine. The collection of mosquitoes is based on sampling of larvae in 13 biotopes such as water troughs, tires, abandoned utensils and temporary puddles or not. The results of the morphotaxonomic study of the mosquitoes collected in the different study sites show the presence of five species of Culicidae divided into three genera, Anopheles, Culex and Culiseta. Of the 1843 individuals examined in 2009, Culex pipiens represents 79.98% of the total harvest. A new species is reported for Belgium, Culex modestus Ficalbi, 1890. This species is one of the most important from an epidemiological and medical-veterinary entomology, given its role in the transmission of West Nile and myxomatosis viruses. [less ▲]

Standard referene materials for total sulfur and glucosinolates

Part of book (2000)

Three standard reference materials for the determination of the total sulfur and glucosinolate content are introduced. The materials are calibrated over a range of 3.31-10.3 mg/g S and 1 1.9-98.9 pmol/g ... [more ▼]

Thermography studies pictures recorded from radiant thermal emissions of a body. This paper analyses several measurement conditions in order to make thermographic unit reliable, ie the effects of distance and position of the camera, the color, lenght and power. Moreover, the effects of the site on cutaneous temperature measurements were studied in exercising horses. It can be concluded that infrared thermography is a technical to measure skin temperature which requires a few conditions to be respected. Moreover, it is a sure, simple and fast method. The ideal site for measuring skin temperature inexercising horses is the neck because of its vascularisation. [less ▲]
